The BSNL’s Public Data Office (PDO) services were rolled out at Ramanahalli on the outskirts of Mysuru on Tuesday to shore up connectivity and internet service in rural areas.
The high-speed but cost-effective Wi-Fi service covers the entire village of Ramanahalli, bringing the local connectivity on par with any city or town. This is part of the public Wi-Fi policy of the Government of India to provide seamless internet connection. Officials said that Ramanahalli is the first village in the State to have Wi-Fi coverage across the entire settlement under the PDO.
Senior officials from the BSNL including Vivek Banzal, Director, Consumer Fixed Access, BSNL Board, Devesh Kumar, Chief General Manager, BSNL, Karnataka, and others participated in the inaugural programme. The officials said that Wi-Fi and internet connectivity will be rolled out across rural Karnataka in a phase-wise manner.
