Bangalore – 1st Indian city to have free WiFi spots


Bangalore is not called India’s IT Capital for no reason. The IT department of the state government along with a private firm is giving free WiFi spots in the city. A person will be able to access internet for 3 hours a day and can download 50mb per day. It is said 2000 persons can access it at a time from one location. The firm overseeing this project say this will be full secure as there will be a vigil on what is being accessed and how much is being downloaded.

The facility is currently available in Bri­gade Road, MG Road, CMH Road and Sha­ntinagar, Yes­hw­­antpur and Kor­ama­ngala bus statio­ns. There is also a special helpline to receive complaints about the network problems. In the second phase, the government plans to introduce ‘Namma Wi-Fi’ in Tier-II Cities like My­sore, Mangalore, and Gulbarga, enabling free wi-fi in 23 places across the st­ate.
