To access free wifi in the hotspots, any person having a Wi-Fi enabled device - a smart phone or tablet - will need to open their browswer, which will take them to the “Namma Wifi” page. After entering their mobile number a password would be sent to them. Once the password is keyed in, the user can browse the net free for 30 minutes in 24 hours. Sources say the speed will be limited to 512 kbps. Moreover, there will be restrictions on accessing certain websites.
The service will also be available at Traffic and Transmit Management Centres (TTMCs) at Shanthinagar, Yeshwanthpur and Koramangala, besides CMH Road in Indiranagar, sources in the IT department said.
