Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>In a bid to increase broadband connectivity, the Eswatini Communications Commission (ESCCOM) is giving free internet access to all emaSwati.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is through The Universal Access and Service fund (UASF) which aims to increase internet access to the public and offers subsidized internet in public areas.<\/p>\n

Everyday people will enjoy access to 500mb of free data.<\/p>\n

When sought for comment, Eswatini Communications Commission Marketing Officer Simphiwe Dlamini mentioned that getting internet was just a link away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fund continues to supply the last mile connectivity of health centres, government centres (RDAs), education centres and network infrastructure. All you do is follow the link, follow the steps and you are connected. Base stations have been installed in different rural areas so as to improve wide area network<\/p>\n

\u201cAll four regions (Shiselweni, Lubombo, Manzini and Hhohho) and some Tinkhundla in Eswatini have the subsidized internet access such as Nhlangano Health Centre, Mahamba Border Post, Lubombo Referral Hospital, Lomahasha Clinic, Sikhuphe KMIII Aiirport, Lavumisa Border Post, Lobamba Clinic, Luyengo Clinic, Ngwenya Boarder Post and Matsamo Boarder Post,\u201d said Dlamini.<\/p>\n

The link to free WiFi is available on https:\/\/bit.ly\/PublicFreeWifi.<\/p>\n
