DICT rolling out EDSA Free WiFi project

Apparently, the DICT has already started rolling out the fiber network for their EDSA Free WiFi project (Just noticed this last night as I was driving along EDSA).

An engineering crew has been seen installing cables along EDSA with signages that indicate EDSA Free WiFi (DICT). They were seen laying out the cables along the walls of the underpass in Cubao last night.

This project could be part of the DICT’s mandate to provide Free WiFi Service in Public Places which has earmarked Php1.8USD 0.03INR 3EUR 0.03CNY 0.22 billion for 2017. The target has been increased to 100,000 public WiFi hotspots with a total budget of Php3USD 0.05INR 4EUR 0.05CNY 0.37 billion.

The Free Wi-Fi in public places project will install wireless Internet access points in public places such as town plazas, parks, government offices, health units, and transport terminals including train stations, seaports, and airports.

  1. tangalin niyo ang capping sa fixed broadband! base plan should be 10mbps, wala parin pagbabago tong mga telco, puro pera gusto

  2. I hope this will not end up like the Erap-Isko WIFI City project of Manila, which was good at the first few years/months but they never sustained it. It’s just an eye sore now when your scanning for wifi connections(as others would say “PAASA”), which also includes the waiting sheds with led boards that houses it.

  3. EDSA??? Really?!? Should have been in public libraries and schools… Susme!
