Your point about troubleshooting and using kernel resources using a modem connection is very strong and very correct.
Actually, knowledge of linux among Indians in India is very minimal and is increasing very slowly. There are a handful of my friends working in India who do serious development in open source. However, it is a complete contrast to Indians outside India.
BTW, did you know the President of India met with Richard Stallman recently and is supporter of OSS? Open source means better control, definitive cost savings, less cost implies less of citizen's tax. Now, how far will all-prevalent-corruption will really be a tax saving - different question to answer.
