These locations include hospitals, malls, public parks and the Two Holy Mosques.
The initiative includes providing free access to the public Wi-Fi network for each service provider for a period of up to two hours per day to a large number of beneficiaries and visitors of public places in a number of Saudi cities.
CITC has worked with telecom providers to implement this initiative through several phases, and will continue oversight of the execution phase of this initiative, which is carried out by service providers.
This phase includes fulfilling CITC's requirements, including unifying the network name for these free, facilitating user entry, and providing coverage maps that showcase all free Wi-Fi points across the country.
