The initiative is a public-private partnership (PPP), in which the BMC plans to provide the WiFi technology across the city, but for a fee.
According to reports, the project was recently declared technically feasible by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which is BMC's consultant for their e-governance project. The project, which has been in the pipeline for the last couple of years, was earlier limited to the BMC headquarter, ward offices, zonal offices and the civic hospitals.
The BMC plans to invite tenders in a month's time for the project. According to the documents, the civic body will only be responsible to erect the towers and the infrastructure required for the technology. The service providers will give a part of their profits to BMC. The details of the profit share have not been finalized yet. Revenue will be generated from the subscribers.
The civic body is following the foot steps of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, that has floated similar tenders.
