The Kerala Fibre Optic Network (K-FON) has received the Internet Service Provider (ISP) license from the Department of Telecommunications.
With this, Kerala has become the first and only state in the country to have its own internet service.
The KFON is envisaged to provide free internet to BPL families and 30,000 government offices.
The previous Left government had declared internet connection as a basic right and launched the Rs 1,548-crore KFON project in 2019.
