To encourage more Indians to come online and use digital tools, the Indian government is now looking to give citizens free access to a catalogue of movies and other entertainment content under the BharatNet programme for rural connectivity.
According to ET, the government will offer a catalogue of more than 4000 movies to citizens through its common service centres (CSCs) or digital kiosks. Speaking about this initiative, a government official said that movies and entertainment seem to be a good proposition to get people to pay for the Internet for the first time.
