Description
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has proposed a cap on internet tariffs for Wi-Fi service providers participating in the PM-WANI scheme, recommending that these tariffs should be set at twice the rate of retail broadband services.
About PM-WANI Scheme
Launched by the Department of Telecommunications in 2020, the PM-WANI (Prime Minister Wi-Fi Access Network Interface) scheme aims to expand the availability of public Wi-Fi hotspots and enhance digital communication infrastructure across India, with a particular focus on rural areas. The initiative is designed to:
Boost access to affordable internet, especially for underserved urban and rural populations.
Promote employment opportunities for small and micro-entrepreneurs.
Encourage local businesses and establishments to offer Wi-Fi services for last-mile internet delivery without the need for a license or registration fee.
About Access PM-WANI Internet
To access the internet through PM-WANI hotspots, users must download an app that displays available networks. The app allows users to select a network, make a payment, and use the internet until their balance is used up.
Key Components Of PM-WANI Ecosystem
Public Data Office (PDO) - These entities set up Wi-Fi hotspots and provide internet access without requiring a license from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
Public Data Office Aggregator (PDOA) - PDOAs manage authorization, accounting services, and user interfaces for data plan purchases and usage monitoring.
App Provider - App providers develop applications that help users locate and connect to nearby PM-WANI hotspots, facilitating seamless access to the internet.
Central Registry - Managed by the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), the registry maintains records of PDOs, PDOAs, and App Providers involved in the scheme.
