Certain locations in Gurgaon have been selected by Airtel for offering public free Wi-Fi service. Airtel has recently decided to launch this free service in restricted areas of Gurgaon.
After the first 30 minutes, the free Wi-Fi service will become chargeable and when the user is in the zone of the Wi-Fi, they need to establish a connection to the “MSG powered by Airtel”. The non-Airtel users can also avail this facility but they need to purchase vouchers for use, and the Airtel users will be able to access it with the help of the data packs.
The public Wi-Fi hotspots have been launched on Sunday by Manohar Lal Khattar, Haryana’s Chief Minister. Now Gurgaon users can utilize wireless Internet connectivity and Wi-Fi free sessions in these locations- Sadar bazaar, Sarhaul village, MG Road and Sector-29 market.
