I am planning to setup a Free to use Wi-Fi Network currently in Delhi . The idea is to use access points and then amplify them with military type boosters over a radius of 60 kms meaning it would not only cover Delhi but also regional noida , gurgaon and many other cities . There would be multiple APs to support thousands and each AP would be allotting 256kbps to each user . The cost is phenomenal but i know how to recover it . But i wanted to know perhaps if I really establish one then how many of you would be interested in using such a service .
Wont share that likely . I would be able to recover the amount in atmost a year and make a profit in next year .
Dont you need a government permission to do such things..as providing internet can lead to many problems!! BTW i would love to have such kind of service!!
The government doesn't currently has any law governing WiFi 802.11g . It would be legal . I would need to apply a license for being marked as ISP . In case license is not provided then i might limit it to a local network with features like file sharing , localized community sites , and allowing users to create their own sites which can be accessed only within the network . It would still be a fun .
