"Google’s free public Wi-Fi to make internet more accessible"
Internet users will no longer be bothered by high costs of accessing internet, thanks to Google’s campaign of introducing free public wi-fi network in Kampala.The company’s push for faster, more reliable internet access in Uganda gathered pace after it launched its first wi-fi network in Kampala...Google officials revealed that they were providing wireless network available at various spots in Kampala. In turn, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are expected to use this network to provide much faster and better quality internet to customers. Ms Ela Beres, the project lead on the Wi-Fi effort, told technology enthusiasts and ISP’s last week that at least 120 locations in Kampala were linked to their network...
“Google’s internet infrastructure will be more affordable and accessible to all Ugandans. The new Wi-Fi project allows us to concentrate on our core business. It will also decrease our costs of providing the service and the consumer will be the beneficiary of these reduced costs,” said Mr Roger Sekaziga, the chief executive officer of Roke Telkom. The cost of providing the internet, however, is not for Google to determine but the service providers.
