BSNL is planning to spend Rs. 6,000 crores to set up over 40,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots across the country by 2018. The tender for the project will be launched next month and is expected to be completed by 2018.

According to reports, BSNL will set up 2,500 Wi-Fi hot spots across 250 locations in India at the cost of Rs. 500 crore in 2015. BSNL CMD Anupam Shrivastava revealed that the state run telecom operator has already set up 200 such hotspots already. The telco will be providing free Wi-Fi services for 30 minutes per 24 hrs (three times in a month) which visitors can utilize in multiple sessions. Users can also continue to use the service on paid basis after the free sessions expire, at nominal subscription plans starting from Rs. 20 for a 30 min validity, Rs 30 for 60 mins, Rs. 50 for 120 mins and Rs. 70 for one day.
