The University of Peradeniya and Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish free WiFi facilities within the University. The MoU sets out 23 points in the initial stages of the project, where free WiFi facilities would be available.
SLT Chairman P.G. Kumarasinghe said this facility has been worked out jointly with the University at no cost to the University, and SLT officials will maintain the system. He also said they offered this facility for the future generations passing out of the University. He elaborated that, from the data available, 80% use internet facilities for other purposes and only 20% for education.

Mr Kumarasinghe stressed it should not be so and called upon the students who use these facilities to do more work on their education material than anything else. He also added they are committed to serve the younger generation, and SLT would go ahead with these projects for the University.
Deputy Vice Chancellor Lakshman Wijeweera said they have invited all Dons to publish their work in the form of ‘Modules’ on the web for the benefit of those seeking to further their knowledge.
