Nothing exciting for the broadband users in India. US based AOL has announced the launch of their co-branded portal in collaboration with Indian telecom giant MTNL.

This portal is available at mtnl.aol.in and it offers a combination of AOL products for the web users.

The two companies said that the partnership between them would inherent strength of MTNL’s network and AOL’s global web services.

This would enable them to offer MTNL users a world class Internet experience.

J. Gopal, Executive Director MTNL said on this occasion: “With adoption of Broadband skyrocketing, this strategic partnership leveraging the inherent strength of MTNL’s network and AOL as a global web services player will bring to our subscribes a world class Internet experience.”
