The company says that with their collaboration with Google, Airtel customers would get access to a variety of Google powered services.

Services which I can access with my own free Gmail account.

The company further says that they are collaborating with content providers like shaadi.com and others to provide content.

I read that as we show their ads and we get money. You are the sucker here.

Advertise on MTNL Website

The last time I checked, MTNL was a government organization. And a pretty important one too. So, I can now purchase advertising on a government owned website!

What’s next? Maybe the President of India’s website. That would be so totally awesome. Airtel should go and purchase some advertising on MTNL’s website.
