A high-speed Wi-Fi service also seems a bit stupid given the fact that no ISP in Lucknow provides an unlimited 50+ Mbps broadband connection. What do they expect us to do? Take our laptops and sit at the station which is littered with rats, monkeys, their shit, and trash?

I don't understand why the lack of a good ISP in Lucknow means someone should not try provide high-speed Wi-Fi at the train station. Are you saying it's an inefficient allocation of resources?

That's what it seemed like but I don't think it's sound logic. It'd be one thing if the municipality said, "You know what we need? Free wifi at the train station!" and then allocated budget for that. That's not what's happened, it's Google and Railtel doing this nationwide.
