He also said the government has in principle approved an infotech building on a plot of one lakh sq ft and another on a plot of 5 lakh sq ft in Patna.
Besides, an infotech park is coming up on the outskirts of the city. Kumar asked the information technology department officials to hold roadshows in select cities across the country to spread awareness about the progress made by Bihar in the field of information technology. After feeding the info, the mobile number will receive a message giving the password for the user name. With the same user name and password, one can browse the Internet. The biggest advantage of such a Wi-Fi network would be free Internet access to those who seldom used Internet and to increase the number of Internet users in the city.
Security aspect, too, has been taken care of, as state telecom department is keeping a tab on all the sites people are browsing. No one can browse pornography through this Wi-Fi network as these sites are blocked by the department.
