Mumbai Wifi City (BMC plans WiFi cover for Mumbai)

MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to provide free WiFi network across the city. The service will enable anyone with a PC or a laptop to access Internet anywhere in the city, including in cars and trains, without the need for cable connections.

Mayor Sunil Prabhu said the project proposal is still at a nascent stage and the civic body was working on the security aspects. "We have appointed consultants who are studying how all security concerns can be addressed before kickstarting the project," said Prabhu.

This was one of the promises made by the Shiv Sena before the civic elections last year.
