Indian telecom service provider Tata Docomo on Sunday announced the launch of free Wi-Fi services in Connaught Place (CP) area, Delhi.
The free Wi-Fi will be offered for 20 minutes. The company in its statement did not mention about broadband speed and quality of services.
The Wi-Fi service is in partnership with New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
Meenakshi Lekhi, member of parliament, has inaugurated the public Wi-Fi services in the presence of Shankar Agarwal, Urban Development Secretary.
Wi-Fi service will cover the inner and outer circles of CP.
Post 20 minutes of free Wi-Fi, broadband users can purchase recharge cards online and at Tata Docomo retail outlets. The recharge cards are available at Rs 10 for 30 minutes, Rs 20 for 60 minutes and Rs 50 for 180 minutes of Wi-Fi access.
N Srinath, managing director, Tata Teleservices, said: “The deployment of Wi-Fi services in one of the biggest public open-areas in the city is a nod to the emerging trends of data consumption, especially by millennials. For us at Tata Docomo, public Wi-Fi access is an important step towards digitization in the city.”
Millennials spend an average of 7.2 hours per day consuming media content, and more of that time spent on mobile devices than any other platform.
Tata Docomo has already supported Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, Indira Gandhi International Airport (T3) and Chinnaswamy Stadium for Wi-Fi access.
