IMTEX and Free Internet Access

I am at IMTEX, Mumbai.
I just visited 1/5 of stalls and my feet are hurting.
Its a huge exibition, with mind blowing crowd.

Absolutely amazing machine tools from Indian
companies, many of them in collaboration with German,
US, and Japanese companies.

I never had an idea than Indian companies are in
manufacturing of different types machines tools.
Lot of electronics components are from US/Japanese
companies though. (example: Siemens control boards on
CNCs).

Surely there got to be some truth in this slashdot
story:

India Becoming a Major Hub for Western Job Seekers

Last thing I expeted here was free (gratis) internet
access at decent bandwindth. :-)
