Connectivity at the office of President of India
Out of curiosity, I put an RTI asking President of India Secretariat about connectivity at President’s office.
Questions I asked and their replies
Question 1: Who is the Internet service provider?
Reply: National Informatics Centre MEITY is providing internet service at President Office.
Question 2: Speed of Internet connection at President’s Office?
Reply: Presently the speed is 100 Mbps.
Question 3: (And my favourite!) Is IPv6 deployed?
Reply: IPv6 supported by most devices. However, IPv4 addressing is used at present.
Question 4: How much internet connection costs at the President’s Office?
Reply: NIC, being a Government Department provides connection on its own budget. The President Office does not incur any expenses towards this. 100Mbps seems interesting and actually decent enough to get the job done. I wish they also had support for IPv6.
Probably I should not put an RTI asking NIC on their IPv6 support plans for the President’s Office! :)
