The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has launched an ambitious public-private partnership project to provide wireless connectivity for the entire twin township.
Initially the Municipal had a plan to make the 13-km stretch of the Pune-Mumbai highway passing through the township as a Wi-Fi zone but now the municipal corporation changed the scope of work and has now decided to cover the entire area of 171 sq.km. The corporation is targeting to complete the project by 2012. The project is being visualised as a means to empower citizens where they can have abundant Internet access, besides helping in strengthening the economy, building infrastructure for e-Governance, e-Education and e-Health facilities and, provide means for commercial transactions.
