Times of India is reporting that Anil Ambani-promoted Reliance Communications has entered into a strategic alliance with IT giants Acer, Asus, HCL, Intel and Lenovo to offer free laptops with internet connectivity to customers.
The scheme will enable customers to get free Intel Atom powered netbooks with high-speed internet data card service of Reliance. The package could cost as low as Rs 1,500 per month for two years.
If true, this is very good news for India’s abysmal Internet numbers.
