Abstract
This study examines into how users' views
affect their behavioural intentions towards the Pradhan Mantri Wi-Fi Access
Network Interface (PM-WANI), a government program to provide accessible and
cheap public Wi-Fi services across India. A systematic questionnaire was used
to gather data from 100 respondents. The reliability analysis showed that the
assessment scales for Attitude (α =.798) and Behavioural Intention (α =.900)
had satisfactory to outstanding internal consistency. Correlation results
showed a significant positive relationship (r=.819, p<.001) between attitude
and behavioural intention. A simple linear regression analysis found that
attitude was significantly associated with behavioural intention, accounting
for 67.1% of the variation. The findings indicate that users who have a
positive attitude towards PM-WANI are likely to embrace, use, and promote the
service. The study emphasises the necessity of developing favourable user views
in order to drive digital inclusion, and it confirms the theoretical premise
that attitudes have a substantial influence on behavioural intentions. These
findings are useful for regulators and providers of services working to
increase the adoption and sustainability of PM-WANI and other digital
infrastructure initiatives.
