After only hoping to finally have ample connection to the Internet in several remote areas in their country due to regulations and technological restrictions, Google offered free Wi-Fi to 100 railway stations in India. Now, they will soon have super fast Wi-Fi across an entire city.

India's city of Pune, south-east of Mumbai, will soon house the world's first ever Google Station, which plans to deploy fast Internet hotspots all around the city as part of their initiative to provide global connectivity.

The $22.2 million (Rs 1.5 million) project is spearheaded in partnership with IT company Larsen & Toubro (L&T), the state's internet service provider RailTel, and IBM with the Pune Smart City Development Corporation to provide affordable and fast internet connectivity across miles, as well as smart city solutions that will benefit all citizens, businesses and organizations.

A Google spokesperson told Mashable India in a statement, "With the goal of creating a great Internet for the next billion users, we have found that making high-quality public Wi-Fi more easily accessible can play a critical role in bringing the benefits of Internet to millions of Indians."

"We believe that Google Station, can help ISPs, venue operators, and city governments quickly and reliably deploy high speed internet," the source added.

The Google Station project was announced last year and, according to Google's Next Billion Plan VP, Caesar Sengupta, the company plans to offer monetary benefits to its participating partners. The move is surely just the beginning, especially with L&T helping in bringing Wi-Fi at more than 5,000 public locations in Mumbai and Google placing several stations other states all around the world.
