Government permits indian airlines to provide wifi services to the passengers
Telecom Commission cleared a proposal for passengers to make mobile internet calls and use data mid-air. The services will be initiated in the next four month.India is the only country, besides North Korea, to bar in-flight data so far.airlines in countries like the US, Europe, and west Asia already offer in-flight wifi but they had to turn it off upon entering the Indian airspace. State-owned Air India as well as other Indian carriers—Indigo, Vistara, AirAsia, Spicejet—have been offering wifi connectivity on some international routes, but not within India.in India, the benefits may be overshadowed by high costs. The airline would have to dole out between $300,000 and $400,000 just to install the system and the job can take a week or more, during which time the plane lies idle. lets see what happens in india.
