Opera Software has launched Web on Wheels (WOW), featuring a specially-equipped WOW car that provides free Wi-Fi access to those in range.

Over the next 10 months, the WOW car will travel across India, covering 20 cities. Agra, the city of Taj Mahal was its first stop. The car was stationed at multiple locations, such as Raja Mundi, Paliwal Park, Sadar Bazar, St. John's College, among other notable locations throughout the city.

The WOW car will hit the road in phases, first covering the northern belt of India. After Agra, the WOW car will travel around Lucknow. Its next stops are Kanpur, Varanasi and Allahabad.

That's a nice idea to provide Wi-Fi

Actually they need to provide service to rural india instead of cities.... All cities and people around that are usually well educated and have all these facilities in there home or in there phone.

But problem is that bro even in cities too they are not well equipped and India is still struggling for good and economical internet speed.

In Mumbai it will remain there for few hours in traffic

and by the time it will move, data limits will have been sucked by the users.

Thats a great comment bro.. I like that..Whenever its struck in traffic..People can use it for more time. People will be praying....that the traffic should continue for quite a long time.
