Indian Lake Unwired

Wifinetnews notes that Dal Lake is soon become un-wired:

“A lake in India now offers Wi-Fi connectivity: Forgive my lack of knowledge, but this article is slightly obscure. I'm guessing there is a lack of habitation on and around the lake, but I'm not sure if it's a tourist area or a permanent residence area. It also mentions "shikaras" without a definition: perhaps these are wireless nodes that move around the lake?...”

Edit: As noted in the comments, a Shikara is a Kashmiri Houseboat and Dal lake used to be a tourist hot spot till terrorism became an issue in Kashmir. Also it is interesting to note that cellphones became legal in Kashmir only a few months ago...
