If set into motion, the initiative will see password-free Wi-Fi hotspots in wider public venues, such as plazas, parks, barangay reading centers, as well as libraries. In addition, it will also cover areas such as rural health units, health centers, hospitals, airports, seaports, and public transport terminals.

Technically also areas where a large gathering of people occurs, locations such as local government offices and training centers under Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will be included as part of the project’s overall scope.
