Electricity-hit Hyderabad to be Wi-Fi zone - Makes sense?


In what is said as an unexpected move, the Telangana government has vowed to make Hyderabad a Wi-Fi enabled city to boost IT sector, while the citizens were expecting for uninterrupted electricity supply.

In a much more surprising turn of events, the city’s software developers have extended their support to the TRS government’s plans stating the move would be a huge help for the developers whose primary need for survival is internet.

“A wide network of internet is the need of the hour,” said a surveyed member.  Completely out of context note, the word ‘hour’ reminded me that there’s no power for two hours and battery levels of my laptop has dropped to 27%.

Meanwhile, a research conducted by Satire Specialist revealed that nearly 99.475% of surveyed Hyderabadis are in favor of a Wi-Fi enabled city.

                                                                               
            

However, one guy raised the question about the requirement of electricity in the state.

“Without proper supply of electricity, Wi-Fi would mean nothing,” he said.

The software developers slammed the guy for being backward thinker and called him an ignorant. They affirmed that Wi-Fi should be the priority, as it is the basic need for today’s generation.

“Why would it mean nothing?” protested the favorers, “Look at the bigger picture – Hyderabad will be an IT capital. Everything else can wait.”

One of the developers took out his flashy smartphone and said, “I’ll show you in how many ways internet supply is better than other requirements… Oh shit, my battery’s dead. Now, I’ll have to wait for power to come!”

“But, I’m telling you, this would make Hyderabad a hi-tech place,” he added, sliding his cell back in his pocket.

Well, the bottom-line is majority of Hyderabadis, who happened to be majorly software employees, are in favor of the government’s plans. But how they charge their devices with frequent and unannounced power cuts is yet to be known.
