First of such kind Free Wi-Fi service is offered at Mumbai Central, WR line station. Soon this will be rolled out to many more stations in coming days. There are no specific details on speed and performance of such connection, only that\u00a0Commuters will get fast enough internet in the first hour to stream a High Definition Video. After one hour of usage, basic speed Internet will continue to work. First hour limit will avoid the misuse of this connection.<\/p>\n

Most of the people in India can not afford Hi Speed Internet even though many\u00a0phones can connect to Wi-Fi these days. This service is going to give opportunity to common person in India to avail Fast FREE Wi-Fi on the stations using their mobile phone devices. Many travelling to office or home can go online and check mails, post updates on social website, Search some information, watch videos, do Whatsapp or anything that can be done online. There is full freedom to visit any website through Google Free Wi-Fi & not like Facebook Free Basics which restricts you to do everything through Facebook or partner websites.<\/p>\n
