June 20 was World Wifi Day — an occasion to celebrate speedy, reliable internet connections.

Average internet speed in India is lower than all other countries in BRICs and lower than most other emerging economies.

Every aspect of infrastructure, such as electricity or broadband for communications, needs to be designed and executed to flow through from end to end.
