Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) has added one more partner, Japan-based NTT, to its international in-roaming service on Wi-Fi.
Singapore-based telecommunications service, Starhub, already utilizes the VSNL Wi-Fi network across India for its customers.
Prateek Pashine, vice president (Planning - Retail Broadband Business) of VSNL, said, "Over the next six months, VSNL intends to open-up its extensive Wi-Fi network to millions of customers of international telecom operators, thereby offering travelers to India access to high speed wireless Broadband zones in key locations in top 10 cities in the country."
