FreedomBox is currently being used to provide free community Wi-Fi internet and free software network services in 13 villages in India.

This team of volunteers from FSMI is targeting deployments in 100 villages by the end of the year.

An article about this effort has been published in Eenadu, one of the largest circulated Telugu newspapers in their Sunday magazine.
