Srinagar, January 14

The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Tuesday evening allowed mobile Internet in parts of the Jammu region and broadband in hotels, travel establishments and hospitals but only on white-listed websites, an official said.

In a three-page order, the Home Department said additional 400 Internet kiosks would be established in the Kashmir division.

Internet service providers will offer broadband facility (with Mac binding) to all institutions dealing with essential services, hospitals, banks as also government offices.

Mac Binding means to enforce a client machine to work from a particular Internet Protocol address.

In order to facilitate tourism, broadband Internet would be provided to hotels and tour and travel establishments.

The order also said that the 2G mobile connectivity on post-paid mobiles for accessing white-listed websites, including e-banking, would be allowed in Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Udhampur and Reasi districts – all in the Jammu region.

The order comes days after the Supreme Court had made harsh observation on the JK administration for snapping Internet services, which the apex court said was a fundamental right of the people. – PTI
