Internet search giant Google has announced that it has decided to permanently shut down Google Station program globally this year.

Google explained that getting online has become fordable compared to five years ago and that mobile data plans have even grown cheaper, improving the growth of mobile connectivity globally.

" Mobile data plans have become more affordable and mobile connectivity is improving globally. India, specifically now has among he cheapest mobile data per GB in the world, with mobile data pries having reduced by 95% in the last 5 years," Google India's blog reads.

Google says that it would be transitioning hotspot operations over to its local partners in Brazil, India, the Philippines, South Africa, Mexico, Nigeria, Vietnam and Thailand.
