To put this in perspective

India has 1.13 BILLION acknowledged people in an area ONE THIRD the size of the US.

The US has a massive 301 MILLION people in three times the area of India.

So for the equivalent population based usage as listed in this DSLR synopsis, the Indian 9 million connections would be less than 3 million connections here in the US, or less than half the people in the San Francisco Bay area would get it this year.

Keep in mind that a very, very small population actually own computers in India. It's like us saying we are going to provide broadband to every cow in the US!

 They are providing broadband to people when they can't even provide clean water. Humans can live without broadband but when you have a water truck everyday to come deliver water; you don't really care about internet.
