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.

The PC / Internet connecting device is not to reach of every indian though it is expanding very fast. But Broadband / high speed internet service is being exploded throughout country by BSNL/MTNL. These companies are no longer mere pipe line providers. These are entering NGN / IMS /3G very soon and will provide Distributed intelligence (Not only Terminal or Centralised Intelligence) Moreover DSL technology will prove out to be best for public though it may cost higher to provider than Wi-Max etc but for BSNL /MTNL this is already invested. So customer gets best media with his own cost effective CPE.
If BSNL/MTNL cuts down the tariff for IPTV/Voice/Internet/VoD etc. customer will ultimately prefer this for all services on single reliable copper pair
