Reliance Communications, India''s telecommunications service provider, unveiled its initiative 'City Unlimited', which comes with unlimited data usage and internet access, within the same city with wireless internet speed of up to 153 kbps. This plan will provide internet access  across 24,000 towns and 600,000 villages.

“The availability of internet service and the initial hardware cost has been a deterrent to drive the internet penetration in our country.  Internet penetration all over India stands at less than 2% and although driving internet penetration across the country beyond major cities is a key priority for us, affordable internet penetration will also enable economic prosperity for our countrymen.  Reliance has once again rewritten the rules of the industry by offering an unbeatable proposition in terms of coverage, quality, service breadth and, above all, value for money” said Mahesh Prasad, President –Wireless Business, Reliance Communications.

Reliance has slashed the cost of Reliance Netconnect USB stick modem to Rs 1099/- and offers unlimited data usage at affordable tariff of  Rs 169/-  for prepaid users. This plan has been launched across the country except the top 1000 towns.

The service plan is targeted at small and medium businesses, students and homemakers.
