Everyone will be provided with free Wi-Fi in public plazas, public schools, universities and colleges, bus stops, and public libraries. Most of these projects will be outsourced to IT as well as telecom providers such as Smart, Globe, cable TV operators and outsourced companies who will monitor the service level of these operators, according to Ibrahim.
