| BSNL Connects Villages using USO |
|
State owned telco, BSNL which has wireline infrastructure connecting lakhs of Indian villages is on an aggressive broadband expansion spree by putting those villages on the information superhighway.
In a recent announcement, the Ministry of communications has said that it will establish 28,000 wired broadband exchanges and 6,000 satellite sites to bridge the digital lifestyle in villages :-) I happened to bump into an engineer from Dhawar Telecom District, Karnataka and he was carrying a DSLAM equipment o be installed in one of the nearby villages. I was surprised that the village with population of 200-250 had established 15 connections :-)
BSNL Rural Broadband Plans are available at subsidized rates. A 1 GB Data Transfer Plan @ 512 Kbps speed will cost the Rural folks mere Rs 150 / month and the differential will be compensated from the universal Service Obligation fund by the Government.
By 2011, we expect all the Indian villages to be on the information superhighway. So plan your portals and applications keeping them in mind and don't forget to localize :-) |

| Slow Wireless Internet Popular - Demand for 3G |
|
According to the latest figures released by TRAI, India has 117 mn Wireless Internet Subscribers [March-31st] [i.e accessing the web using GSM / CDMA Mobile Networks] Compare this to mere 6.52 mn broadband subscribers [June-30th] and 13.5 mn Dial-up Internet subscribers.
This also means 1/4th of all Wireless Subscribers in India access the Web. This need not be via laptops [PCMCIA Card / USB, etc] but could be through their handsets as TRAI collects data of all users who have activated GPRS and have gone online. Wireless access by this means is extremely slow, at least for us who are used to 512 Kbps and higher speeds.
Since Indians like to access the web on the move, this justifies the huge demand for 3G if they are priced appropriately in the context of Indian market.
And the Nostalgia of Dial-up access - These subscribers are online for 226 Minutes a month [something which we are online every day ;-)] and pay Rs 230 / month to their rspecive ISPs. |
