Wi-Fi serveices in Coimbatore, Madurai and Tiruchi

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will soon provide high-speed Wireless Fidelity (Wi-FI) broadband services at Coimbatore, Madurai, and Tiruchi, besides setting up Internet browsing centres at railway stations and bus terminus.

Stating this, after formally launching the Wi-Fi services at the Chennai Kamaraj Domestic Terminal (KDT) on Sunday, Union Communications and Information Technology Minister Dayanidhi Maran explained that the services would be ideal at important airports as it served the "business class laptop carrying corporate clientele."

Providing a PCO-cum-internet browsing centre at railway stations and bus terminus would meet the lower and upper middleclass business segments requirements.

The Department of Telecommunication through the BSNL will work closely with the Union Civil Aviation Ministry through the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to help provide such Wi-Fi services to serve both the overseas tourists and domestic travellers, Mr. Maran said.

The BSNL had emerged as a clear market leader in not only making available affordable mobile telephony but also in providing high-speed broadband connectivity, of which there were 100,000 customers.

The AAI, will be extending cooperation and the required assistance to the BSNL not only at the KDT and at the Anna International Terminal but at all major airports in the country.
