Why are we lagging in internet revolution!
I was reading a news column which read that starting july 2010, every person in finland will have the right to a one-megabit of broadband connection and by 2015 it will be extended to an impressive 100 Mb broadband to everyone. Well that is impressive considering the fact that approximately 79 percent of Finnish population used internet. In India as per the TRAI figures of June 2009 the internet subscribers were 14.05 million with the share of broadband around 47%. These figures are still very less percentage wise. Even the teledensity in India as of June 2009 is around 40% which is also less and if we take rural teledensity it is around 16% which is dismal. Though the telecom setup in India is improving but we still are far away from the world class infrastructure through which we can harness the talent available in the rural areas which still remains untapped.
