New Delhi : Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Member of Parliament and Technology Entrepreneur, underlined the need for making high quality Wi-Fi available and accessible across the country for which it was imperative for the Government of India to partner with States and private service providers in the space. He recommended that the government could be owners of the fundamental policy making but the owner of the network should be private sector to make the initiative a success.   While delivering the inaugural address at the ‘Wireless Broadband Vision Forum’ on the theme ‘India, Wi-Fi and Smart City Development’, organized by FICCI in collaboration with Global Wi-Fi Broadband Alliance, to advance the policy objectives of the Digital India program, Mr. Chandrasekhar said that it would be appropriate to provide Wi-Fi access free of cost to a selected faction who deserves it rather than making it free for all. He added that any program started with the aim of providing free service suffers from suboptimal facilities and poor quality.
