The government also plans to hold a one-day "Delhi WiFi conference" to involve national and international stakeholders in the execution of the project.
The new task force is a part of Delhi Dialogue Commission (DDC), an advisory body of the AAP government, which will, as of now, have startup guru Mahesh Murthy, Medianama founder Nikhil Pahwa and CIS policy director Pranesh Prakash, as members.
According to DDC, it is sending out invites and collaboration requests to cities and countries across the world to study best practices of successful WiFi implementations and learning from failures in many places.
According to the government, a preliminary consultation was held with the IT and Telecom cell of FICCI as well as FICCI's secretary general, with whom a one-day Delhi WiFi conference will be held to involve national and international stakeholders.
