Mobile Internet: Rajesh Jain’s take on the issue

I would again link to the excellent series of write ups on mobile internet by Rajesh Jain on Emergic. Basically it’s just a repetition of what I have been writing here.

1) India’s Digital Infrastructure: Overview

2) India’s Digital Infrastructure: PC Internet

3) India’s Digital Infrastructure: Mobile Internet

4) India’s Digital Infrastructure: Network Computing Devices

5) India’s Digital Infrastructure: Mobile Data Services

Basically he would endorse his pet project Novatium which involves setting up thin clients at the subscribers end and central computing systemns at the telephone provider’s end. Which means that the likes of BSNL/ MTNL or for that matter any other service provider leverages the computing power at their end all connected via broadband networks. It makes no sense to pursue the present set up of stand alone PC’s without being connected to the net.

(Novatium’s home page doesn’t render itself properly in Opera. At least they could have validated the CSS and ensured cross platform browser compliance).

Let me know your thoughts and I shall expand on them at a later date.

By the way, the guest entries are welcome. I am looking forward for your contribution here towards whatever you feel needs to be done for Broadband in India and the way it affects us fundamentally.
