| whats the argument here?
I've had enough of crap being thrown around.
As being born an Indian and raised here I can identify with many of the concerns but please, for the sake of god, don't stereotype the country as having people who cant speak english.
I know a lot of people in the united states who cannot spell even in their mid twenties. People in India are far more exposed to education than any one in the US, let alone the few who get educated at the ivy league institutes.
Their english is well versed. There is a lot of British influence in their english and yes there is an accent because it is not their mother tongue.
Their knowledge of the matters which generally require technical support on many things is exceptional.
Enough digression from the actual topic. The problem about broadband is not the biggest problem in the nation. Their many concerns are food and the ability to keep their jobs. Things are not so easy as they are here in the States. There is still corruption and a big layer of bureaucracy which hinders the development of the nation by a huge amount.
The country is coming about, slowly but steadily, but its coming about. However, in the aspect of broadband, people are quite happy with what they are getting. Not many people have qualms about speeds because its work in progress and this is one country which is used to 'oh this was promised to us but we know it will never get done on time' unlike here. Be a little more patient with the country and you will see there is so much potential there.
I'm not saying this because I am of Indian descent, but because I've seen things there and I've seen things change quite drastically over the last 10 years. What we're lacking here is a big picture. People really need to read and see things for themselves before throwing stuff around which generally has very little exposure to a single aspect of the country.
So please, go educate yourselves!

| Please provide evidence that the people of India have access to a better education system than those in the U.S. Once you've done that, please provide evidence that the people of India have access to clean drinking water and electricity in the majority of country.
All of that supposed education without any substance... too bad. |

| I’ll opt for one full day without power loss over 2 megs of broadband, I’d love to have a constant flow of clean drinking water rather than having bits and bites flowing through my information pipe. Logistics and transportation is so crippled that a 20 mile journey takes 2 hours to complete. Govt should ponder on ways to align infrastructure growth with IT growth, why is IT sector booming beyond imagination while traffic situation is going hay wire? |
