Dubai - Mumbai becomes largest public WiFi city

The first phase of the state government’s plan to make Mumbai India’s first Wi-Fi city is ready for take-off and will be launched some time before the BMC elections. The project envisages providing wireless internet access across the city through a network of 6,000 MTNL hotspots at 1,200 locations across the city. It will offer speeds of up to 20Mbps (megabits per second), equivalent to 2.5MB/s (megabytes per second). In the first phase, 1,200 hotspots will be set up at 500 locations. Key areas are tourist spots such as Gateway of India and Girgaum Chowpatty. Other locations include large slums pockets, where mobile network coverage is patchy.
