Today, many Indian online news sources carried stories about Google launching Internet Bus project in Tamil Nadu India. It was an outreach program to communicate the advantages of Internet to common man. None of the news stories had any links to the project page. After some digging, I found a link from bangaloreinc.com to the project home page here.
When I read – Internet Bus, I thought it would be like a First Mile Solution project – where a bus is used to provide Internet access to the remote regions of the country. That would have really cool. Compared to the First Mile project – the Internet Bus is just an advertising campaign. The project pages has some videos which I found boring but got the message across.
I hope more work is done in this direction to improve communication technologies in the remote regions of the country.
