NTA to shutdown WorldLink’s Free WiFi service in Nepal

The future of WorldLink Communications Ltd.’s free WiFi service, “Wi-Fi Express,” is uncertain as the Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) considers shutting it down. Although the decision for it is actually unknown, let’s dive in this article to know about everything we know so far.

WorldLink’s Free WiFi Service Overview

Free WiFi Coverage

WorldLink’s free WiFi service is available at over 14,000 hotspots across various public locations, such as restaurants, parks, and airports. Users can connect via the SSID “Free_WorldLink_Wi-Fi” after a one-time registration with a mobile number and OTP. The service provides limited data per device daily and aims to bridge digital divides in under-connected areas.

Telecom Companies’ Concerns

While this comes off as a rumor, Telecom providers including Nepal Telecom (NTC) and Ncell, have reportedly raised concerns that the free WiFi service has led to lost revenue, as users can avoid mobile data plans. They claim that this has greatly affected their profits, and were compelled to request the service shutdown.

NTA’s Review Process

The NTA has not made a final decision on the matter. Chairman Bhupendra Bhandari stated that the authority is still reviewing the situation and will assess the impact on both telecom companies and consumers before making a decision.

Expansion Plans Amid Uncertainty

WorldLink is pushing ahead with plans to expand its free WiFi network to 30,000 locations, following its past partnership with Facebook for Express WiFi to improve connectivity. The future of the service is still up in the air, but the company is moving forward with its expansion. As of mid-March 2025, the NTA has yet to make a final decision on whether to shut it down.
