"Government of India under Digital India wants to give 20 Mbps for very village. Then I discussed and said this should be for every home. Last mile connectivity is important. There are electrical ports and connections to almost all the houses in the village. This can be used.
Andhra Pradesh has around 16,000 villages.
"... Every village, every home will get 20 Mbps internet connectivity, cable TV and telephone connection. The cost will me more or less Rs 100 per month. With this connectivity will be a reality," Naidu added.

Enumerating advantages of digital connectivity, Trai Chairman R S Sharma said it can help in making government processes easier and efficient.
Sharma, who was earlier the Secretary of Department of Electronics and IT, suggested that the government besides working on providing an identity and bank account through Jan Dhan should also work on providing withdrawal facilities.
"There are very few withdrawal facilities for the people in the villages. If we want to see more success, we need to provide facilities in villages for withdrawal of credit as well as bring down the cost of transactions," he suggested.
