How India jumped generations in its development

I spoke about how interesting I found that India is not going down the broadband revolution but the mobile revolution. Now this is an example of a tiny village in the depths of India and see how they are using the mobile phone technology to effectively do business and nary a PC in sight.

Every part of human value chains are being linked via mobile phones rather than internet based emails, websites or what have you. And it will be much more cost effective...
