IMDA to provide 900 low-income households with free broadband

This is in collaboration with Lions Befrienders and POSB.

As part of the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s efforts to empower the vulnerable segments with access to technology, i will be providing 900 pre-qualified low-income households the opportunity to sign up for home broadband and tablets for free.

Meanwhile, other low-income households can also enjoy subsidised home broadband with the option to own a tablet

The new IM Bonding Learning Project complements the aim by providing 1-to-1 dedicated tutorials for seniors from low-income households to learn how to use the tablet device and to navigate the Internet.

It is a tripartite collaboration amongst IMDA, Lions Befrienders (LB) and POSB, leveraging the respective parties’ area of expertise in the public, people and private domains, to strengthen communities through technology.
