@Pramod : They're thinking 5-10 years ahead, I think India will have good connectivity then. How people will use the net? That remains to be seen.

@Manu : I honestly have no idea either, I was wondering the same thing.

I’m curious to know who visits these Yahoo Specials websites. I can understand http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/ , but why spend so much time and money on those Specials websites?!

I find it surprising that he thinks India would be bigger than China as their Internet penetration and connectivity is so much better than ours currently.

I think if the Net becomes commonplace in India, it will be democratised and Indianised like cable TV - one more channel for Indian content to reach the masses! The media part of it might evolve like how FM Radio is doing now.

Whether the Web's low barriers of entry will create new kinds of media entities and do more than TV/Radio remains to be seen.

As far as Google is concerned, I doubt they will get into the business of providing Indian content. They will probably continue providing back-end search/tech services for media and other companies with an online presence.
