Dal Lake has Wifi!

If we go by this report, Dal lake got a Wifi way back in 2003. Anyone having a first hand experience?

"CHENNAI: Dax Networks Ltd, part of Apcom Group, has Wi-Fi enabled Dal Lake, the second largest lake in the J&K state, thus making it the first Wi-Fi enabled lake in the world. The project which has been conceived by Dax Networks and was being implemented in partnership with the Department of Tourism, J&K and iPeaks, an ISP of the state, will be inaugurated by the Chief Minister of J&K Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on November 1, 2003."

i stayed on dal lake for over a month last year. my wireless dell laptop never detected anything? sure would've been nice since the nearest cyber cafe almost always gave me grief.
