Free wi-fi service will soon be available in various localities in Malta and Gozo, thanks to an EU initiative.
A total of 27 localities who submitted their application will be awarded the sum of €15,000 from the EU for the service, which offers a minimum of 30Mbps.
Speaking at the press conference, Local Government Minister Owen Bonnici said this initiative is another example through which more efficiency and better services are being given to members of the community.
Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government Silvio Parnis said the government believes in the local councils’ autonomy and this is why they were given the liberty to indicate where this wi-fi service is best installed in the localities.
The Parliamentary Secretary called on those local councils who still have not applied for this initiative to submit their application.
