Sensing a business opportunity here and considering the relatively educated and elite profile of residents of the tricity with what the company claimed was a ‘data-hungry now’ young population, Bharti Airtel has launched, along with Apple and other phone makers, the facility to log into the internet highway, on your mobiles, at 4G speeds.

This makes Chandigarh, including SAS Nag ar and Panchkula, the second city in the country, after Bangalore, where 4G on mobile is available as a service. The company has been offering the 4G service through its dongles and wi-fi router since last year, but now it has upgraded its technology to allow the same speeds on the phone as well. The 4G internet service, for now, can be used on four phones - Apple iPhone 5S (models A1530 & A1518) and 5C (models A1529 & A1516) and Xolo LT 900 and LG G2 (model D802T).
