Delhi To Go Wi-fi In January 2007

October 27 2006 From a bench in Cannaught place central park, or a spot overlooking Palika Bazar, or sipping Coffee in any restaurant , Delhi resident will be able to access the Internet through a wireless - and cost free – Delhi Government network.

Delhi Information technology (IT) Secretary Dr G.Narender Kumar, speaking at whilespeaking at a three day ‘South Asia e-Government Summit’ organized jointly by Department of information Technology, government of India by the Society for Promotion of e-Governance (SPEG) said that by January 2007 delhi’s cannaught place will have free Wi_Fi (Wireless) internet services as part of Delhi Government’s plan to make capital Wi-Fi enabled.

“After gauging its success in Cannaught place it will be introduced in major areas of Delhi including delhi Haat, Greater Kailash, Nehru Place and other business and tourist attraction places. Apart from providing normal internet services it will also help the local business grow” said Dr Kumar.

again its Delhi, why dont they do good things for mumbai... 🙁 🙁

It will take them 2-3 years to reach even famous markets by that time i think Wimax will be on start so who need wifi!!

wifi and wimax can surely co-exist. wimax can be used to power wifi hubs. not every laptop in the next 2 years in india would ship with a wimax card. but wifi is finally becoming a regular feature with laptops.

This is good for Delhi. A good step in the right direction.

I wonder what speed the connection would be....

I personally cannot wait to see it being implemented and seeing if it is a success or not. Are there going to be hotspots?

I just noticed this thread under "similar threads".Its January 2009 now. Where is the wi-fi that was supposed to be available in Jan 2007? :huh:
