Google finally launched its Amazon Echo-rivals, Home and Home Mini smart speakers, in India this week, and it is being bundled by other companies to make the most out of the new product launch. ACT Fibernet, India's leading FTTH service provider, is offering Google Home Mini to its subscribers for free.
ACT Fibernet announced that it is Google's "fiber broadband partner," and the internet service provider is justifying its partnership by bundling a Google Home Mini with select broadband plans. The Hyderabad-based company currently serves in 12 cities, including two cities where it has 1Gbps Gigabit plan, and the free Google Home Mini offer is available in select circles.
