N. Srinath, Managing Director, Tata Teleservices Limited, said, "We are excited about our association with the NDMC on this initiative. Today, Wi-Fi is the new oxygen for the ever-connected generation of smart device users. The deployment of Wi-Fi services in one of the biggest public open-areas in the city is a nod to the emerging trends of data consumption, especially by millennials. For us at Tata DoCoMo, public Wi-Fi access is an important step towards digitization in the city."
With millennials spending an average of 7.2 hours per day consuming media content, and more of that time spent on mobile devices than any other platform, Wi-Fi hotspots at high footfall areas is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The hyper-connected millennials expect Wi-Fi to be a “default” setting in their daily life that provides the convenience of being available anytime and anywhere.
