TECH TALK: India Internet and Mobile: Internet Challenges

We would like to explore the salient challenges facing businesses predominantly driven by Internet & Mobile.

The Internet user base in India is said to exceed 35 million with two-thirds of that access coming in from cybercafes. I believe that for the Internet to play a significant role in our lives much of that access has to shift to homes. Only then will people start building their lives around the Internet. Availability of access away from home for a few minutes a day is not how the Internet usage will take-off, even though the user base may keep growing.
