BANGALORE: There are indications that Bangalore may soon become IndiaÂ’s first wireless broadband city.
A committee headed by Prof. Sadagopan of the IIT-B is working on the venture for the last six months.
Prospective companies have given a presentation on the project and if things work accordingly, Bangalore should be wirefree.
"We are floating now the final request for proposals", Pujari said, adding that the State would bear no cost in the venture and it's role will only be of an "enabler".
"The companies will have their own revenue model. It (the venture) will be something which will be platform neutral", he said.
Pujari said the idea was to provide broadband Internet access irrespective of the telecom service provider one gets service from. If one used the services on the move-operating a palmtop or laptop- service provider will charge interconnection charge.
