What’s so great about the Wi-Fi of Mysore if covers just an area of 100 meters(radius)i don’t think that’s a big achievement .

Its really difficult to find details on who is giving Wifi, which areas are Wifi Hotspots etc.

I feel this is more propoganda than truth. Last I enquired from one provider and he told me that you need to buy a wireless router worth 7K rs. If that is what I have to do then why is city called wifi city.

I will be arriving in Mysore (Gokulum) December 6 2005 and living in the city through March 2006 I will be working by email with my clients in the US. Do I need to have Airtel come and hook up the DSL or is Mysore and more specifically Gokulum truly a free WiFi hotspot?

If anyone can provide information, I would really appreciate first hand knowledge.

Best regards,
Rwar

Appreciate it !!!
We being in US are not able to get the wifi. Whereas in Mysore they have made it reality. That itself is an achievement.

Hi,

The entire area as mentioned in the papers is not covered. These are actually 3 hotspots with a effective radius of around 50-100m.

Exciting to know this. but not sure what the note means by saying 100% covered? Also wonder why the Mysore Bangalore hiway is not getting wired? - Kushalnagar is enroute Coorg (a lovely hill station in Karnataka) but less dense in terms of traffic..besides with hiway to Blr getting six-laned…
Will try this out soon…
cheers
