India: In Pune city, the First city Wi-Fi deal is won by Internet giant Google.
The latest contract is valued at Rs. 150 crores and includes capital expenditure,
operating expenditure and revenue sharing elements. 15% to 20% revenue generated
will be shared with the authorities.
Under the contract, Google will deploy its Google Station platform, which has
Wi-Fi network management capabilities and focuses on monetisation to make the
service self-sustainable. Railtel, on the other hand will provide last-mile fiber
to enable Wi-Fi hotspots, at about 200 strategic locations across the city. The
plan is to integrate all public places on a single platform to aggregate Wi-Fi
hotspots, that will allow access with one-time authentication.
