|September 01, 2024
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is now in a quandary, as the budget it received for the free WiFi program in 2025 is good for only five months.
In a presentation during the House committee on appropriation’s hearing on DICT’s proposed P10.4-billion budget next year, Secretary Ivan John Uy said the budget allocation for the free WiFi program is only P2.5 billion.
“Our free WiFi program has reached 13,462 access points as of June 2024. And it caters to over 10 million unique users, prioritizing the GIDA (geographically isolated and disadvantaged) areas,” he noted.
