HYDERABAD: Internet giant Google<\/a> plans to open its own \"permanent and big\" campus in Hyderabad and is set to sign an MoU with Telangana government<\/a> shortly to take up the venture.
\n
\n\"We are likely to sign MoU with Google. They are likely to open their campus here in Hyderabad. It will be the third campus they will have after the US and the UK,\" Telangana IT, electronics and communications secretary Harpreet Singh told PTI here.
\n
\nGoogle currently operates from rented premises here but wants to move to a \"permanent campus\", he said, adding the tech major would sign an MoU with the state government shortly.
\n
\nHe, however, declined to go into further details of the proposed venture, saying a press conference is scheduled to be held shortly on this but added that it would be a \"big campus\".
\n
Singh also said Cisco, Airtel<\/a>, Vodafone and a Taiwanese company, among others, have responded to the expression of interest floated by the government on proposed venture to make Hyderabad a Wi-Fi enabled city. \"
\n
\nMany of them are partnering and coming,\" Singh said, adding the Taiwanese firm, in fact, was behind making Taipei a Wi-Fi enabled city.
\n
\nBut he said the companies that have evinced interest have sought information such as detailed maps of the city, including roads, and some clarifications with regard to certain specific points. \"So, we are preparing the replies; we will give it to them\".
\n
\n\"It will take time (to make the city Wi-Fi enabled) because business model is the critical issue. Making Wi-Fi is not a big problem ... but how to monetise it ... is the key issue,\" he explained.
\n
\nSingh, however, said the contract for this venture is expected to be awarded in the next three-four months after floating the request for proposals and the bidding process.
\n
\nAfter that, the successful bidder is expected to take six months to roll out the infrastructure, he said, indicating that the city is likely to be Wi-Fi enabled only towards the end of next year.
\n
\nOn the proposed Rs 30 crore incubator facility for technology start-ups, he said its designs have been completed and the process of tendering is in progress.
\n
\nThe 70,000 square feet facility will have 800 seats, housing an expected 500 start-ups in different stages of growth, he said.
\n
\n\"We are planning to formally inaugurate this building on June two (on the first anniversary of Telangana State's formation).\"
\n
\nAs for software exports from Hyderabad, he noted that it was Rs 57,000 crore or roughly ten billion dollars in the year 2013-14. \"This year (2014-15), I think it's (going to be) 12% (more). We may do slightly better (better than 12% growth),\" Singh added.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":45550157,"title":"Amdocs, Triotech solutions enable SBI to offer mobile financial services via BSNL","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/amdocs-triotech-solutions-enable-sbi-to-offer-mobile-financial-services-via-bsnl\/45550157","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":false}],"related_content":[],"msid":45593243,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Google plans to open own campus in Hyderabad","synopsis":"Google plans to open its own \"permanent and big\" campus in Hyderabad and is set to sign an MoU with Telangana government.","titleseo":"google-plans-to-open-own-campus-in-hyderabad","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"PTI","artdate":"2014-12-21 15:35:23","lastupd":"2014-12-21 15:39:25","breadcrumbTags":["OSS\/BSS","Google","Airtel","united states","United Kingdom","Telangana Government"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"google-plans-to-open-own-campus-in-hyderabad"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2014-12-21" data-index="article_1">
