Being the first nation in the world to provide free WiFi to both its residents and visitors from other countries, Taiwan has achieved history. Thanks to a government program that provides free access to Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the nation, Taiwan, a small island nation, is part of East Asia’s expanding technology powerhouse. High-speed internet connection is available at thousands of public places, such as parks, airports, and shopping malls, thanks to the program, which was started to increase accessibility and connectivity. With speeds of up to 4G, the free WiFi service, called “iTaiwan,” guarantees dependable and fast internet for all customers.
Since its 2011 inception, the service—known as iTaiwan—has expanded to include thousands of hotspots. The service has a meager 1 MBPS speed. All citizens need to do is provide their mobile number to register. In 2013, the program was made available to all international tourists, a decision likely to garner much goodwill.
In addition to improving Taiwan’s digital infrastructure, this innovative action makes it simpler for visitors to stay connected while they are there. The initiative positions Taiwan as a global leader in internet accessibility and demonstrates the nation’s dedication to improving the digital experience for both residents and tourists.
