WiFi Trains in India:
Trial run for provision of Internet facility has been conducted only in Mumbai - Ahmadabad Shatabdi Express.
A satellite based system with Wi-Fi distribution in coaches was tried on experimental basis and was found to be technically feasible. A pilot project for internet facility in three rakes of Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express has been considered and has been included in the Railway Budget 2010-11.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways, Shri K.H. Muniyappa in a written reply in Lok Sabha.

Lolz... People - first please look at providing eatable food, drinkable water and usable toilets in Indian trains and then look at internet lolzz..
This is great news. India's government is doing the right thing since India is one of the world's top IT contributor's around the world. Free internet for the public sounds great to me.
My experiance of these trains tells me internet access should not be top of the things to do list. Improving the rail infrastructure, passenger numbers and facilities should be ahead of any web apps.
