The survey pointed to a tremendous lack of broadband and Internet-related services for youths, and a lack of regional-language content that prevents knowledge from filtering down to the bottom of the pyramid. More services relevant to rural India should be made available online, and information should be available in regional languages to ensure maximum benefit. Students should be able to incorporate online services into their studies. The recent thrust in broadband deployment is a timely one. One argument goes: If India wants to train and impart skills to its 550 million young people, then broadband has to play its due role. Skill deployment and delivery has already become a national priority through various specialized programs. For instance, the mandate of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) is to impart skills and train 150 million youths in next 10 years. This is a challenge, and broadband can contribute towards achieving it. The current thrust in broadband calls for vigorous implementation and operation plans. India has 10 million broadband subscribers, compared with China’s 112.59 million and 87 million in the US. This comparison should be enough to recognize the knowledge and information deficit in India, as well as the shortfall of public information infrastructure. The pace has been slow so far; 10 million subscribers is 50% of the target set out by the department of telecommunications in its 2004 broadband policy. That broadband penetration is less than 1% should raise an alarm. http://manipuronline.com/views/science-technology/the-need-beyond-speed-making-broadband-relevant-for-rural-india/2010/12/21/attachment/broadband-rural-india m-Health 23-Jan-2013 25-50$ m-Health 23-Jan-2013 What do they miss - Services • Communication – Audio Video call at affordable price level for Family and Business, … • Banking – Micro banking, ATM, .. • Education/entertinment – Access to internet, video on demand, streaming, … – http://akash-tablet.org/aakash-tablet-reviewed-price-and-specifications/ • Health care – Sending picture, Body measurement, .. • Agriculture – Trade prices of grain, … m-Health 23-Jan-2013 m-Health 23-Jan-2013 Do we know? • No, knowledge to Local marked needed • Culture/religion – Green cap China – Bricks for housing Africa • Regulation/legal – France; Wi-Fi not allowed outdoor – Middle east; VoIP not allowed • Politics – Tribes, education, … m-Health 23-Jan-2013 BlueTown solution • • • • • BlueTown WLL – a Wireless Local Loop Network SOLUTION.
