More on Chinese

Tags: , ,

This is bit out of place here. However, Nitin Pai has a bit about Chinese blogging; how chinese tend to subvert the freedom of expression online.

Of course, I had raised doubts about China surging ahead in Telecom sector. Much of it remains fluff and most of the propaganda is directed for the ordinary to give them a “feel good factor”. These “statistics” also help the “foreign companies” to cook up the accounts- corporate ethics have gone for a toss anyway. Enron Scandal is still fresh in our minds.

Anyway, there is no last word on this.

Hey Thanks for illuminating me on this. Frankly, much of the information that comes out of China is censored; it is tough to rely on face value.

As you illustrated, this is what the real potential of broadband is.

Abhinav, the RSS feeds are working fine at my end here. At times, the host pukes up. We are trying to resolve this issue. Try again and if not possible, mail me. I'll see what I can do about it.

Well it is not really fluff. The broadband is cheap does work in China even in small and remote towns and Wi-Fi is springing up every where, even in places like traditional tea houses. And there have been lots of interesting businesses based on this infrastucture - let me give you example of just one sector travel.

Weekends, and it is time for my friends to scour th hundreds of BBS. for places to visit that weekend... people visiting nearby towns write about their experience. and broadband permits them to put up pictures and videos...encouraging more people to travel to these smaller towns.. bringing in money to these towns.

More visible, there are internet travel agents like elong.com .. from a wi-fi at airport you can book a room in the city you are going to.

More and younger people are building content using social tools and defining how the web will be used tomorrow.

Sadly, political content is one area that is not that mature.
