Today, let’s celebrate World WiFi Day 2019!

While we’re enjoying our 100 MBPS download speeds at our home,
there are billions of people out there who do not have access to the Internet.

The idea behind celebrating this day is to support
a global initiative to help bridge the digital divide.

Google, once again, is leading the wave.

things began to change.
