Islamabad is set to become Pakistan’s first city to provide free public Wi-Fi, with 30 hotspots expected to go live by December 2025, officials from the National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) confirmed. The project, discussed in a briefing to the National Assembly’s IT Committee, is part of the government’s plan to boost digital infrastructure and expand internet access nationwide. The hotspots will be installed at major public locations such as markets, government offices, and other busy areas to ensure fast, easy connectivity for citizens, students, and visitors. The NTC said the initiative builds on its existing network, which already supports over 3,000 institutions across 100 cities, and aims to turn Islamabad into a more tech-friendly hub that promotes education, business, and digital innovation.
