India, IBM Set Out To Build Billion-Person Web Portal

India, IBM Set Out To Build Billion-Person Web Portal - Outsourcing News by InformationWeek

In a country with more than 1 billion people, public infrastructure projects tend to come in two sizes: large and frighteningly large. India’s e-government initiatives are no exception. With help from IBM, the country’s central government last week unveiled ambitious plans to build a Web portal for citizens to access thousands of services, ranging from business permits to housing subsidies and tax advice.

It’s pretty amzing really, I was reading over at a friends page about developments in Africa and have cell phones are making an impact. Technology has evolved to such a point that if we can get around governmental bloackades we can see substantial imrovements in developing countries very quickly. That’s very exciting!
