Walesi Fiji has launched its 15th public WiFi hotspot at the Lautoka Municipal Market, making it the second for the city, as part of government's Digital Fiji initiative.
Walesi CEO Shivnesh Prasad says the free public WiFi initiative clearly demonstrates government's commitment towards the development of the ICT and education sector in Fiji.
People can receive free high speed Wifi for 60 minutes everyday on a daily basis in certain areas around the country.
As announced in the 2018‑2019 National Budget, these areas include My Suva Park, Sukuna Park, Sigatoka Bus Stand, Koroivolu Park in Nadi, Shirley Park in Lautoka, Ba Bus Stand, Korovou Market, Syria Park in Nausori, Labasa Civic Centre and Savusavu Market.
$40 million has been allocated to the ICT sector for increased speed in public Wifi hot spots in Fiji.
This allocation will also allow for the installation of free high speed Wifi hot spots for all Fiji National University campuses in Fiji.
