São Paulo – Saudi Arabia is in the process of setting up 60,000 WiFi points in public spaces across the country. Users will be able to browse the internet for up to two hours a day, The National reported.
The initiative is done in tandem with telecom providers in the Kingdom. A map will be made available of all WiFi spots available.
The governor of the Communications and Information Technology Commission, Muhammad Al Tamimi, said service providers are being asked to provide WiFi to enable widespread internet services and to help improve the quality of life by providing internet services in public places, including hospitals, the two Holy Mosques, holy sites, malls, and public parks in cities across the Kingdom.
The initiative is part of the Vision 2030 project from crown prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
