Every evening after the day’s classes are done, martial arts teacher Naresh Babu walks across to the picturesque 110-year-old Ooty railway station, settles on a bench that overlooks an old steam engine, pulls out his phone and logs on to free internet<\/a>. 每天晚上完成当天的课程后,武术老师Naresh先生走到风景如画的110岁Ooty火车站,落定在长椅上,俯瞰旧蒸汽机,拿出他的手机,登录免费互联网。
The next couple of hours are spent checking e-mail, uploading his training videos, looking up competitions for his students, watching clips of childhood heroes Bruce Lee and Jet Li, and picking up new techniques to pass on to students. “I can see what’s happening around the world and update my skills as well as watch videos of old masters who are no more,” says Babu, 37, who bought himself an Android phone in early 2016 and discovered free Wi-Fi at railway stations<\/a> a few months later. His academy, Martial Arts Institute India, has about 25 students, up from 15 a year ago when he started uploading his training videos and advertising online.
The government’s Railtel<\/a> and Google<\/a> partnered in 2016 to provide free high-speed Wi-Fi<\/a> in more than 400 railway stations<\/a> in India, and it’s already available at 389 stations. People like Babu, who are unable to use high-speed internet at home due to its high cost, benefit the most.
“An estimated 15,000 people come online every day. This project with Railtel was our first to improve access to the internet in public areas,” says K Suri, director of partnerships, Next Billion Users, Google India. Railtel Wi-Fi has 7.7 million monthly users, he says.
Access to information and the internet has been shown to transform public spaces. A 2013 white paper by Institute for a Broadband-enabled Society, University of Melbourne, observed: “Australian public institutions and municipalities are beginning to find benefits in deploying free Wi-Fi services including: enhancing communities, bolstering local economies, marketing and communications...”
There are many examples closer to home, too. The introduction of free internet in 2015 turned Lucknow’s Hazratganj into a youth hangout. “Hazratganj became very popular with youngsters. You could see them sitting around on benches till as late as 2am,” says Pankaj Bhadouria, chef and owner of Tramp Tree Café in Hazratganj.
Patna has India’s longest free Wi-Fi corridor — from National Institute of Technology to Danapur, covering about 20km. Conversation threads on Quora reveal that the internet speed on this stretch is good and it is common to see groups of youngsters hanging out at bus stops, using the internet.
At the noisy Kochi station, 27-year-old porter Sreenath K walks with suitcases perched on his head, bags dangling from his shoulders and earphones plugged in. No, he’s not tuning in to the local FM station, he’s listening to tutorials he has downloaded to prep for the Kerala Public Service Commission Examination, using free internet at the station.
Access to quality material online helped him clear the written test this year with 82% marks. Now, he’s waiting for the interview call and continues to study at the station. “I wrote the exam thrice earlier but relied only on books and guides. They didn’t help much and it was expensive,” says Sreenath, a school dropout.
“Working as a coolie earns me Rs 300-400 a day. It used to pay more a few years ago. Now, with luggage with wheels, escalators and lifts at the station, passengers can carry their own load. Our work has suffered,” says Sreenath. If he clears the interview, he will start as a village field assistant, with a pay scale of Rs 17,500-Rs 37,500. “Now back to my video lessons to work towards that dream,” he says.

接下来的几小时查收邮件,上传他的培训视频,查找他的学生,比赛看剪辑的童年英雄李小龙和李连杰,和新技术传递给学生。“我可以看到世界各地发生了什么和更新我的技能以及观看视频的大师,“先生说,37岁的他给自己买了一个Android手机在2016年初,发现免费的wi - fi在火车站几个月后。他的学院,武术学院,印度大约有25个学生,15一年前当他开始上传培训视频和在线广告。

获取信息和互联网可以改变公共空间。宽带社会研究所2013年的白皮书,墨尔本大学说:“澳大利亚公共机构、直辖市开始发现好处部署免费wi - fi服务,包括:加强社区,增强当地经济,市场营销和通信……”
也有很多例子离家更近的地方。2015年推出免费的网络把勒克瑙的Hazratganj成一个青年聚会场所。“Hazratganj变得非常受年轻人的欢迎。你可以看到他们坐在长椅上,直到直到凌晨2点,”厨师和所有者Pankaj Bhadouria说流浪汉树Hazratganj咖啡馆。
