Thoughts on wireless Internet access in India
Filed Under Editorials, PC, Policy, Telecom, WiFi | 1 Comment
The Indian Express has two articles today showcasing the state of wireless Internet access in India. They could not be more contrasting.
One article talks about the burgeoning use of WiFi by the upper middle class, especially in Mumbai and Bangalore. It’s exciting to know that entire residential complexes (Hiranandani - the real big builders - are profiled in here) are being provided with ready-to-use wireless Internet access. Further, the major vendors of traditional Internet access are WiFi-aware, and WiFi-ready too. For instance, Hathway and AirTel are already offering WiFi installation services. And at least in the major cities - Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi and Pune, malls, cafes and bookstores seem to have wireless access enabled. Judging by the prices they’ve quoted in the article, WiFi internet access doesn’t seem outrageously expensive too.
