"WiFi and WiMAX networks promise convergence and economic access by leapfrogging older technologies directly to the broadband environment. Wireless technologies will play a critical role by lowering costs and increasing bandwidth for applications like VOIP (voice over Internet protocol), education via the Web and government services accessed electronically."

Community centers will be established to connect those in remote rural areas to information and communication technology through wireless broadband networks, focusing on the poor who cannot afford to pay for such access. The remote villages will be connected by village networks and a village network portal to be established in Nepali, the local language and in English.
