ISLAMABAD – The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has officially unveiled an ambitious project to make the federal capital a “Free Wi-Fi City.”
The initiative aims to provide free internet access to citizens and tourists at key public locations, said CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa.
He confirmed that the National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) will be responsible for running and maintaining the Wi-Fi infrastructure, while CDA’s technical teams will provide support.
