Hyderabad: The Lucky City?
Last month, we had reported that Google will launch their biggest campus outside US in Hyderabad, as they are developing 2 million sq feet area for this purpose. Additionally, Hyderabad also became the 1st Indian city to be covered by Google Street view.
Earlier, Google has announced that Hyderabad will get Google Fiber internet connection, which can touch 1 GBPS speed.
Bangalore and Chennai must be wondering why it is Hyderabad which is bagging all the creme la crème projects concerning IT and infrastructure.
If you are from Hyderabad, then do share your views on this new, enhanced path of growth which your city has embraced recently, especially after creation of the new Telanagana state.
I have not found people in Hyderabad look at these announcements the way you have done. I guess people have not yet found a big change in their lives except for the increasing traffic.
