Bharti Airtel in talks with Google for deployment of WiFI hotspots: Report

Date: 06-06-2017

Bharti Airtel is reportedly in initial discussion with Google for deployment of WiFI hotspots for the US internet major’s station WiFi service in India, a move that can help India’s top telco improve broadband experience as it fights to retain, if not add, subscribers amid intense competition.

Recently, Airtel inked a partnership with social networking giant Facebook for deployment of 20,000 WiFi hotspots. The telco is currently in the planning stage for this deployment.

Bharti Airtel is a leading integrated telecommunications company with operations in 17 countries across Asia and Africa. The company ranks amongst the top 3 mobile service providers globally in terms of subscribers.
