A senior railway official has also disclosed that Amazon has proposed to distribute the Amazon Prime content in their premium trains through local Wi-Fi. However, the user will not be able to use this Wi-Fi connection to surf the internet. The official further added that a distribution box would be installed inside coaches which will be updated regularly. Passengers will be able to consume content on their own devices.
