The Multan district administration has been announced that they will be providing free Wi-Fi to the city’s population.
It will be available from November first week. According to an official, 30 devices has been installed at various locations in the city Multan.
Free Wi-Fi Sports on 30 Locations
These include Ghanta Ghar, Damdama, Art Council, Katchehri and at various hospitals of the city. The number of people around 300 Peoples estimated to be able to connect to free WiFi Hotspot are in thousands.
This is a much welcome and much awaiting news for the peoples of Multan City. However, it remains to be seen how the public will make use of these resources, and whether the internet infrastructure being deployed will be used or misused. That being said, the project also has its positive applications too.
Free Wi-Fi Spots available at hospitals, museums, and public facilities is a must for any city. This also means that the city administration needs to ensure high bandwidth connections with limits on data allocated to each device for usage. Only then you can safely make Wi-Fi available at public places.
We have yet to see any other city implement similar public Wi-Fi facilities. Larger cities like Lahore or Karachi might take some time for this. Islamabad/Rawalpindi can see this service being available soon, depending on the city’s administration of course.
The internet speeds/quality available at these Wi-Fi spots in Multan is unconfirmed. We can only see how good it is once it becomes available in the first week of November.
