Google promotes Android in India by teaming up with Reliance to offer 1GB free data

by 22 comments

In an attempt to gain some traction of the Android OS in India, Google has partnered with local carrier Reliance on what seems like a tempting offer.

Everyone who purchases an Android smartphone will get 1GB of data on the Reliance 3G network. Once you hop on the free data train, you’ll have a month to get through it, and you better, because it won’t be transferable to the next month.

All 13 of Reliance’s 3G zones in India will be participating in the mobile data giveaway including Delhi, West Bengal, Mumbai, Himachal Pradesh, Kolkata, Bihar, Orissa, Rajasthan, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir. The two companies will also market the promo on TV and on major Indian websites.

This is set to be the first from many steps Google will be taking to popularize the Android platform in India, and thus securing its OS as the most popular in the world. Maybe the next time, later down the road, Google will offer some sweet deal to promote 4G Android devices? Who knows.
