hey guys..
am at the new mumbai airport terminal and for the first time, i tried to check the Wi-Fi access here my friends were talking about here. I tried it to believe it, its a real treat. I was in complete surprise, when I found multiple ineternet access points on network detection.
I saw something marked Free Internet Airtel and voila. I was in. It then asks us to enter our phone number on which we get our access credentials. Initially I felt, thats the catch, now this wont work. I was not sure of getting the credentials over SMS so soon. But again to my surprise, as soon as i entered my phone number on the site, I got the return SMS in micro seconds giving me the user id and password to login. I entered the credentials as supplied and voila. Writing the post through it, think its good enough. I think not many international airports can boast of these facilities that we have here. Loving it here.......:)

three traits of a typical indian manifetsed royally:
1. getting hyperexcited on seeing the four letter word appended to anything and anywhere...d'oh its 'FREE'
2.then experimenting it albiet cynically and wid oodles of skepticism
3.finally, wen everything is fine..spreading the word :P
;)
*did i mention i 'fail' to understand wat the pic depicts (and u know hw tech savvy i m *sobsob*) but knowing u, m sure its something fundoo :)
hmmm.. missing the point, you do that often.
The post is not about it being Free. Yes it is free and i use it enough to realize the value of it. The point being made was the service that is provided in India against all criticisms from all around. At one place I stand in queues for 2 hours for security in Bangalore and i pay Rs50 per hour internet there... and at Bombay i see a posh new terminal with free internet and hassle free travel. The point being made here is .. Things are changing !!!
//missing the point//
sounds atypical u and me!
somethings never change :)
