In order to “successfully” implement its free wi-fi promise, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi on Tuesday constituted a wi-fi task force comprising several experts to work out the details.
The government also plans to hold a one-day “Delhi wi-fi conference” to involve national and international stakeholders in the execution of the project.
The new task force is a part of Delhi Dialogue Commission (DDC), an advisory body of the AAP government, which will, as of now, have startup guru Mahesh Murthy, Medianama founder Nikhil Pahwa and CIS policy director Pranesh Prakash, as members. According to DDC, it is sending out invites and collaboration requests to cities and countries across the world to study best practices of successful wi-fi implementations and learning from failures in many places.
The official also said citizen consultation process has also been initiated, and suggestions, comments and ideas have been invited over email at [email protected] and the Whatsapp helpline +919643327265.
