To reduce the digital divide and promote connected communities, 600 Wi-Fi hotspots with 10 MB Internet connection through Optical Fibre, are being set up in public places across Mauritius. While the Wi-Fi access is being promoted by bringing one’s own device, the needs of people who do not possess a smart phone or a laptop have also been catered for by the setup of 270 Computer Clubs across the country. The project is oriented towards providing universal access to ICT to all segments of the population.
