Techno Sat Comm (India) Ltd is offering the services and the officials say that email and online transactions will be given the top priority and video downloads or gaming would be given lowest priority on the service.
The trains will be equipped with 2G/3G links with satellite and Wi-Fi routers and repeaters to offer the broadband services in the train. But as with most of the 'government' offered services, you will have to submit a ton of things (viz. mobile number, PNR number, Government ID (election card, Aadhar etc.).
