Economic Times: Govt plans to subsidise internet for rural India

Submitted by admin on Thu, 26/06/2008 - 05:09.

Worried over missing the broadband addition target, the government is now planning to give subsidy for new broadband connection in the rural parts of the country. The subsidy would be up to 50% of the total cost of setting the system by service providers. Also, running cost of internet in rural areas would be about half of those in the cities. These steps are being taken in a move to strengthen the egovernance network as the government has miserably failed on this front.
