In the context of PM-WANI (Public Wi-Fi Access Network Interface), PDO stands for Public Data Office.
PM-WANI is an initiative by the Government of India aimed at providing public Wi-Fi access across the country through Public Data Offices (PDOs) to facilitate easy access to the internet for citizens. PDOs are establishments or entities that provide public Wi-Fi services. These PDOs can be small shops, cafes, local businesses, or any other entity that wants to offer Wi-Fi services to the public. They act as intermediaries between the service providers (Public Data Office Aggregators or PDOAs) and the users, making it easier for people to access the internet in public places. The PDOs play a crucial role in expanding internet connectivity and bridging the digital divide in India.
