VSNL to 'Connect' Visitors to India

If Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) has its way, global travellers will not lose out on the 'connect' factor while in India...

According to an IANS report, this Tata Group company is ready to roll-out roaming wireless broadband services to international travellers over the course of their stay in India.


The upcoming service will facilitate seamless roaming/usage within the VSNL wireless broadband network in the country. As such, foreign visitors will be able to access high-speed wireless broadband, using their home country accounts/identities.

As part of the roll-out, VSNL has tied-up with Singapore's second largest info-communication company, StarHub. Hence, all StarHub customers (mobile/broadband/cable) will be able to use wireless broadband services at over 200 Tata Indicom Wi-Fi Hotspots across the country.

And, plans are underway to add other global Wi-Fi operators to VSNL's list of roaming partners.

VSNL, a global communications services provider, is the only Indian member in the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), which is a global consortium of the world's leading wireless operators.
