Increasing internet use in India by 2015
11/18/2015
WhatsApp, Facebook, other services and useful apps are driving increaing internet use in India by 2015. India has about 402 million internet users by Dec. 2015, according to the Mobile and Internet Association of India. Mobile data use has increased to 276 million people. The price has come down to $100 for a smartphone which is the primary access for the internet. Internet packages sell for about 11 rupees or 0.17 U.S. cents for 30 megabytes of mobile data use. Only one in ten in rural areas have smartphones creating a large potential market for internet companies. The idea that India will eventually catchup with China in market penetration for smartphones is leading to high value of internet companies in India.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
