Besides these offerings, customers will get the option to personalize their Internet start page with content of individual preference - news, blog postings, weather and other interactive content and services through thousands of 'gadgets' as well as content/ information from any site that gives XML feeds.




Airtel Broadband customers will be able to access all these services with a single sign-on free of cost. The portal will make it easy for customers to access their email, search the web, share ideas, connect with friends and publish content. More offerings like e-commerce applications will be added to the portal over a period time, according to an official announcement.
