Broadband to go free in 2 yrs -Telecom-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times

Hi Tinggg

What a great article. I've seen this idea before but this is the first proof that it might actually.

The government proposes to offer all citizens of India free, high-speed broadband connectivity by 2009, through the state-owned telecom service providers BSNL and MTNL.

For an underdeveloped country hoping to make its people more wealthy, building a internet infrastructure is like building railroads 200 years ago.

Thanks for sharing - this is the (tidal) wave of the future for Indian advancement as they embrace the way the world is evolving rather the stick with old ways of doing things.
One primary reason I invest in India is that their nation is poised to reign as a superpower in the next 'industrial revolution' except this time it will be global and involve transfer of information as well as goods and services.
This bodes well for Indian investors.
Cheers

This news was posted a 1 1/2 years ago.

Does anyone know if the Indian government still proposes to offer free, high-speed broadband service to all citizens in 2009?

Things are getting better every day and there are more improvement. The govt and the private sectors are working in this direction. It may take little longer time but development is sure shot.

sanju123, thanks for the update! It's great that the government is still planning to go ahead with this.
