The network is now live in 10 key stations across the country and will enable about 1.5 million people to access high-speed Internet service. We are scaling up our efforts to roll out the network quickly to cover some of smaller stations where connectivity is much more limited,” Google India Head of Access Project Gulzar Azad said.
As Internet adoption grows in India, easy and affordable access to high-speed network is the real need of the hour, he stressed.
The service will be formally inaugurated by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu soon, Azad added.
