Well, it seems clear that most of you don't have any idea of WHAT the Gyandoot project is...It is *NOT* some kind of cybercafe, but a govt. initiative for IT-enabling rural areas, so that all the info required by the largely farmer-populace is available and accessible electronically - land records, foodgrain prices across the world, market info, weather etc...This info is crucial to farmers and helps them to keep in touch with the world...these kiosks have custom local language software, easy to use interfaces and this effort is recognised and widely appreciated the world over and funded by the World Bank...so money is *NOT* the only question...its the FREEDOM that matters...
