Pune - The first to have Wi-Fi !!
Pune Will be the first city in India to have Wi-Fi in the whole city. The PMC plans to spend about 7.5 crores in this and will set up about 35 stations all over the city and about 1500 sub stations for the people. Also the PMC plans to install touch screen at various places. People will be avail of this facility by nov or dec 2006.

Well so i can now very proudly say that i am a puneity

There was a very good article in yesterday's The Herald (Editorial page)....abt pune becoming wi fi but state govt is taking no measures to check out the conditions of road,electricity etc......means not looking @ basic facilities and spending money on wi fi

Great news guys, but I think they should rather focus on the economic development first.

The reason behind this is to attract IT industries which in turn will help Pune to improve its infrastructure on Public-private sector basis.
In short this will be cheaper and easier for Pune to improve its infrastructure by spending few crores rather than hundreds of crores :-P
This later on could attract other sectors !!

if u happen to visit bangalore u will realize that even though the IT companies and MNCs have entered the infrastucture lacks big time...

@invisiblerohit
i know that dude very well that B'lore lacks infstructure. But i didn tell you my guess buddy it is originally the plan of the State govt and PMC (pune municipal Corporation) as it was stated in the paper !!
And regarding IT industries in B'lore dude well they are now gonna shift their Headoffices in Pune only mostly in the coming years ...

amol only MG rd is going to be covered and that too for the walking plaza concept . also its still in concept phase which means the local govt can take years to decide whats needed. and WIFI will not help bring more IT companies here to pune .

even though its mentioned in todays TOI that the whole city will be covered , with the frequent power cuts and massive load shedding, 3 to 5 hours daily and thursday whole day no power supply, Will WiFi work without a regular power supply ? Impossible. In the First place, let the govt. improve the power supply situation instead of thinking up such schemes and wasting everyones time.

IN KOTHRUD ! Buddy I stay in Kalyaninagar and my office is in MG Rd. Both areas without power, today upto 5:30 pm from morning 9:00 am. The situation is just too bad here in pune as well as maharashtra. All I can say is good for kothrud'ites, but hard to believe as entire city goes without power on thursdays and the normal 3 hrs per day load shedding. Imagine guys, we have got no power 30 hrs a week!. I'm sick of it, its a major loss for those of us in business and industry

Re: Pune - The first to have Wi-Fi !!
All those people talking about economic dolelopment n all.. roads, water..
i agree to some extent
but wi-fi is a good step i think...
if india always thought about giving food to poor and never doveloped a supercomputer... or never doveloped a space program...
if we spent all the money that we have spent on survey´s, space program, computer research... on giving food to poor, where would we have been...
believe me... nowhere... india would have still been poor and not even that littile bit advanced that we are...
so an allround dovelopment is necessary.... u have to spend money on technology and leave some things behind... this may sound immoral at the first break of silence but i believe it is a must....
