The Government launched the pilot project named ‘Digital Telangana’ in June 2015, which was carried out with the help of ISPs. ISPs were asked to provide 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi at approximately 100 public category locations across Hyderabad. The locations were malls, tourist spots, public offices, police stations, government schools, and colleges, etc. In last two years, this number has been doubled and now approximately 250 locations get free data.

After the impressive results of the pilot project, the Govt. of Telangana decided to scale it further and cover more than 3000 locations across Hyderabad. An official government order has been carried out to provide smooth execution of the program for ISPs. The Government will carry out this project in two phases. Currently, approximately 1000 hotspots are being installed with an assured bandwidth of 5-10 Mbps with 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi.
