Meghalaya goes for Wi-Fi hotspots

The beautiful state of Meghalaya in India's North-east has announced plans to set up Free Wi-Fi hotspots across Shillong, the capital city.
Mr Robert Garnett Lyngdoh, the IT minister of Meghalaya says that Meghalaya will be the first state in India to offer free Wi-Fi to tourists and locals for non-commercial use.
Shillong is a tourist paradise and is more westernised than most other Indian cities. This step is one of the many initiatives in India towards promoting the use of Wi-Fi to bridge the Digital Divide.
