Wi Fi Hot Spots and Internet-on-Demand

In today's Smart and Information Technology oriented world, staying without internet is getting more and more unthinkable.See, for example this link in today's paper : http://www.epaper.eisamay.com/Details.aspx?id=23713&boxid=161543717

In Smart City New Town, we have engaged M/s KPMG as Consultants to advise us how best to go about it as a pan City solution in accordance with Smart City Plan. Yesterday we had a long discussion with a powerpoint presentation. KPMG suggested that there may be 70 odd public Wi Fi hotspots in various bus stands, parks, markets, plazas etc where first 30 minutes of high speed free internet will be provided to all. In addition in certain public offices like NKDA, PHE etc, broadband internet connection would be provided. Furthermore, as per my suggestion, there will be a provision for giving house level broadband connection on demand at reasonable costs. The project would be done on a hybrid PPP model and bid documents would be prepared soon by KPMG.
