With which decade would you associate the beginning of public access to internet in India ?
Answer: B
Public internet access in India began in the 1990s.
Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL), the government's international telecom carrier, launched India's first public internet service on 15 August 1995, offering dial-up accounts to ordinary subscribers. Before that the network in India was confined to research and academic users such as ERNET, the education and research network set up in the late 1980s.
So the 1980s saw only academic networking, not public access, and by the 2000s and 2010s the internet was already spreading through broadband and then mobile data rather than beginning.
