Notes
Notes from Jim:
- AirJaldi report we did on our project in Harisal, Maharastra.
- press release from Economic times, Maharashtra to have India’s first ideal digital village, by KRISHNA THEVAR: [1]
- based on experienced 30% downtime of national fibre network

Economics:
- Emphasis is on affordability. WiFi hot spot prices: Rs50 (0.7€) for 1GB, or Rs250 (~3.5€) for 20GB.
Other activities
- MWINGO - Kenia deploying “Free Wifi”
Lessons learned and way ahead
- Information (text, pictures, local video)
- call it Communication and other value-added-information, not amusement Amusement (video, streaming, ….)
Our (BasicInternet) wish for collaboration:
- 1. common vision towards Digital India
- 2. ramp-up of Internet adoption by e.g. free access to information with a sustainable business model
- 3. together for a global standard “InfoInternet”, use the team in India to connect to Microsoft
- 4. using your technology/product knowledge
Way heade, suggestion from Jim:
- convince the India team (HQ Delhi)
- spend time face-to-face
- bringing it out to areas where 2G/3G is not well deployed, using an own area (Harisa - old HP connections)
to Sudhir: - talk to Ambica, keep her informed
