Santa Fe, NM | Speaking from multiple trips to Bangalore, the posting above is very pejorative. Just as many cities have slums and multi-million dollar homes, Bangalore is no different. The phrase "ugly American" comes to mind. | |

| said by ninjatutle :Bangalore is nothing to be envious about. The house may look bigger, but there are probably 37 indians living there.
Most people are not aware of the banana republic class connectivity in santa clara valley. Many neighborhoods have only dialup, large parts have sporadic 384k dsl. | |

Reminds me of NYC.
Granted some parts of India look like the shack you posted, but Bangalore isn't one of them. And as long as we're here, I saw similar shacks inhabited in the 5 years I spent in GA.

| Re: Bangalore is going FTTH For a country like India which is densely populated, and infested with idiotic politicians who make it their duty to dig up the roads and all the underground wiring along with them, WIMAX/WIFI is the way to go - unless someone can prove it wont give everyone brain cancer...

Like US doesnt have idiotic politicians!!
Every place has its issues...the thing to appreciate here is the fact that Bengaluru is moving ahead of most of US in terms of connectivity. Atleast now some US telcos can do something about changing that rather than fight over net extortion...err...neutrality fee. | |
