But users would need to pay for watching videos, video chat and downloading content.The state government's Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of IT Adarsh Shastri said, "We will work on ensuring a minimum speed of 512Kbps to each user to make it a better experience. We will be very strict on user experience and uninterrupted service."
While, the government is considering fixing the data usage to 50MB per day but a call is yet to be taken in that regard.
"We will not fix a time but will restrict bandwidth. Internet will be charged on the basis of data usage per day. Once the data limit is exhausted, users can avail the service by paying for extra usage. Every day the system will be reset," Shastri said.
