It may take the government two more years to provide free Wi-Fi connections to barangays and elementary schools across the nation, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said Tuesday.
During a congressional hearing, DICT Undersecretary for Digital Philippines Emmanuel Rey Caintic was asked how long it would take for the free public Wi-Fi to completely cover public schools.
"Right now we are including it in our 2022 budget, pero ang estimate ko sir another two years po 'yan of rollout to cover all of 43,000 barangays and elementary schools," he said.
