The simputer has been battle hardned and is currently under trial by the Indian Army as a tactical battlefield computer. It goes by the name SATHI (an acronym). The idea is to have each field unit networked through this device for battle management. Like all things tech, its defence which foots the cost of innovation.
This is right. Brings to mind Frank Herbert's view that aristocracy is the only enduring form of government. A monopoly-oligarchy politico economic scenario is the classic model throughout history.
It will be better in the long run to go for a wireless solution as the system will be more robust. Wires are great but for teleco's who have the staff to maintain it.
There are some custom solutions that handle low population density telecon. Mostly designed for inaccessible rulral areas. One very viable option is to use corDECT -http://www.tenet.res.in/Products/tele_prod.html which is a project of some of the professors at the Indian Institute of technology. Its based on the the DECT standard of the ETSI and may provide real low cost low maintaince network for remote areas. Check out the TDM/TDMA solution. It may be suitable.

The last gasp ?? Maybe the gov can launch a program to train tropical storms as well :)
