No Wi-Fi at Commonwealth Games 2010

Delhi government has dropped the idea of providing high-speed Internet services through Wi-Fi across the city for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. The move has come after it was felt that wireless fidelity (WiFi) is not a fool-proof mechanism in view of militants using it to co-ordinate and carry out attacks.

However, travellers visiting Delhi for Commonwealth Games need not worry about missing on important e-mails and communication. Delhi has one of the world's largest density of Cybercafés with usage rates as low as $0.50/hour.

Visitors are advised to carry a photo identification with them as it is now mandatory in India to present the same while logging on to internet from Cybercafe.
