The Universal Service Fund (USF) has greenlit seven transformative projects worth Rs7.49 billion, aiming to provide high-speed internet and seamless mobile connectivity to 0.96 million residents in 347 mauzas across 10 districts.
The two Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) projects will enable high-speed fixed broadband services for 2.8 million residents in two districts. The amount was approved by the Fund's board of directors.
The USF was established by the information ministry to spread the benefits of the telecom revolution across the country. It promotes the development of telecommunication services in un-served and under-served areas.
