Atlast somebody sees India as large enough to make multiple markets within itself. i.e:- a large large economy.

Here I feel Rajesh’ Jain’s embedded computing [excellent last mile delivery option] systems can connect to specific sites to deliver “utility applications” to the SME’s and rural markets at a low price and we simply put up the large computing farm with apps running on them for use. As simple as opening a hotmail account.

I feel that concepts of Grid Computing, applications or software being provided as an “utility” being looked at today by the big guys as a new market avenue as the traditional channels are simmering down.

My belief is that the concept of Application Service Providing (ASP) has remained in essence from the past but has changed dimensions in the deployment stage, where Grid Computing, Embedded Systems, Distributed Application Architectures etc. have brought out a higher degree of viability to these ideas.

Well computing is going back to the thin client days of yester years. What goes around comes around.??
