As of the report " Public Wi-Fi will connect 40 million new users to the Internet by 2019 ... around 100 million people would be willing to spend an additional USD 2-3 billion per year on handsets and a similar amount on cellular mobile broadband services"
"Public Wi-Fi can also translate into tangible benefits to GDP by around USD 20 billion between 2017-19, and at least USD 10 billion per annum thereafter" reports says
Suri said despite the strong growth in Internet userbase (316 million at the end of 2017), mobile broadband penetration in India still remained low at 31 per cent (2017-end).
