You always hear that India is developing fast and mostly in IT sector. You read it,mostly see it and hear it a lot.
You hear that some xyz company from US has office in India, which seems to be great , we come to think hey then its not all lies, we are actually living in current world, with so big companies coming here and making use of resources India has to offer, we must really be doing good in IT
and on INTERNET. Of Course India's presence on INTERNET in growing. If you browse around INTERNET you can see that on many websites which are open to comments
there is at least one Indian name commenting on it. If the news hurts the Indian core, you see it goes in flames. Well surely we are using Internet as very increasing rate it seems.
But there are many areas India is lacking, in some areas, where country like US, UK even Sweden has imprinted on web, India seems unable to reach there. Why I don't know.
A simple thing I was about to give a gift to friend in India, A cell phone, so I was looking for good website to shop from US and seller can send to local address in India. However this experience left me haywire. For the one reason that except for Ebay.in I could not find variety of products, I tried Indiatimes.com and Rediff.com but all they have is third party seller, whose information is not correctly displayed and variety is SO limited.
At last a I found a seller on ebay.in which sells cell phones at reasonable price and had what I needed. but I just wanted to pay by PAYPAL, since this is best method to use for shopping for ebay, I asked seller if I can pay in USD, he said if you want to pay by PAYPAL u have to pay Rupees 1000 extra, what THE HELL was that?????
as compared to my shopping experience here in USA is much smoother, Last time a bought a unlocked cell phone off INTERNET, I literally tried thousand websites, scored through INTERNET and found my self a deal, and I paid what said on price tag on website. not a single dime extra.
It seems that Indian population is just being a user of INTERNET. Cause with the rate India's IT sector has grown, One expects more e commerce and SIMPLIFIED e commerce. Government is also not into developing a active interest in using INTERNET, they have just started a CYBER CRIME branch of police, which I am sure sits on theirs asses all day, cause I have seen lot of Indian websites being hacked by Pakis, and no body had done anything at all.
Dot even start on ISP's in India, a line of 256 KBPS is considered as BROAD BRAND. I have not seen a single ISP who's is without a complaint of slow speed on many Indian ISP rating websites. BSNL though government undertaking seems to be doing fine it seems than others. When we gonna have a 4 mpbs home line, which actually gives speed up to at least 1 Mbps??? when will WI-FI take off in India?? when Internet cafes going to stop using a single dial-up connection for 6 PC's at a time.
since our government has no active interest in digital technology. There is no digital millennium copyright act or something similar, which means MPAA and RIAA cant sue Indian public in their country. Neither does having a torrent server or a public repository of s/w. movies.mp3's is illegal in India. Which by the way someone should totally do, since they are safe , It gives you money LIKE anything.... ask the pirate bay guys. ( hmmm good idea).
Now I have to one thing get a real good phone from here in US and send it to India with some one, Cause
1. for $ 100 I get lot more options in cell phone than in India, such as a MP camera and a mp3 player.
2. I don't have to drive somewhere and get it.
3. As I said, I would have wide choice of brands and designs and accessories which comes cheap here .
well surfing time starts......
dates April 9 2009, I have seen a group of Indian hackers named ICW kicking Pakistanis websites, about 150+ paki web sites been hacked by them in reply to pakis hacking of ONGC and warangal police 's web sites. AWESOME WORK 41.warrior and SAMEER!
