According to the budget motives of the Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, Google has proposed to provide free Wi-Fi services at 10 major Railway stations in India. Vijayawada, vizag and Hyderabad have found their names in the elite list. Google has already been providing this free of cost service at Mumbai central, but would be extending to the remaining 9 stations within a few days. And it’s not the end of the sweet news.
Google wish to extend this service to 100 stations by the end of this year, and then to 400 stations thereafter! This would make the project as one of the largest publicly accessible high speed Wi-Fi network in the world. Google assures that such Wi-Fi provision is not only free but also at its fastest best. The commuters waiting for the train could even watch high definition videos though such service. Google has been working with Railtel to fulfill this project. Railtel is an Indian corporation that owns 45000 Km of Optic fibre network, that's laid along the railway lines in India.
