“This special mobile internet plan offers seamless connectivity to the Internet on mobiles across the country and our customers will be allowed unlimited access to internet and any sites of their choice on the move using the mobile as an intermediate,” Reliance Communications’ Marketing-Wireless Business President Mahesh Prasad said.
