TRAI's public WiFi model a national security threat: COAI
Cellular body COAI has opposed telecom regulator TRAI's public WiFi model saying it'll "compromise national security". "The proposal to sell internet services without a licence...(is) complete bypass of present licensing framework," COAI said. TRAI plans setting up of Public Data Offices (PDOs), same as PCOs, by small businesses wishing to provide WiFi hotspots to public via free or paid model.
