World's biggest rural wireless network in India!: "Kerala one of the southern states in India has launched wireless broadband connectivity to rural areas where land lines or cellular phones are not available. The Kerala State IT Mission Department has setup 550 internet kiosks covering 3500 square kilometers of land.
The services available will be Internet access, VoIP Telephony and Video conferencing."
Interestingly, I plan to spend a few weeks in Kerala in October, so I can investigate. Here's the CNET story.
