Unwired in Kashmir
Tourism officials in India's conflict-torn region of Jammu and Kashmir want to woo foreign tourists back with Wi-Fi:
"Two months ago, mobile phones were forbidden in tense Indian Kashmir. Now, anyone can wirelessly surf the Web from the houseboats and gondolas dotting the waters of its famous Dal Lake. (...) 'This facility... [will] tap travelers who would like to remain connected to the rest of the world,' Jammu and Kashmir state tourism chief Saleem Beig said Monday. 'It goes a long way in sending the right kind of signals to tourists.'
