Posted by Rishi Jaitly, Policy Analyst - Google India Ministry of Tourism commemorated Independence Day by announcing the creation of a brand channel on YouTube. The channel, which promotes its "Incredible India" campaign, features a range of video content promoting India's past, present, and future promise. The government is one of the first to use our global platform in this way.Ministry of Communications and Information Technology -- after extensive consultations with industry and the public -- announced a set of proposed amendments to the Information Technology Act of 2000. While these amendments would certainly move India's technology laws in the right direction, we want to highlight some reservations we have, and some suggestions for improvement we have made. In particular, the proposed draft of one section of the Act -- Section 79, dealing with intermediary liability -- requires a second look. Though it's well-intentioned in nature and many of its objectives are welcome, two clauses could inhibit the growth of the Internet in India by creating an unfriendly and burdensome environment for neutral platforms like search engines, blog hosts, auction sites, message boards, and video sharing services. Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is currently considering a Broadcasting Services Regulation Bill . We applaud the I&B Ministry's willingness to engage in structured and open dialogue with the broader Internet community on the proposed bill. Here again, we want to highlight our concerns about the legislation. As drafted, the Bill could be read to apply television-specific regulations to the Internet, which is an entirely different medium built on different technology with different capabilities and therefore requiring an entirely different regulatory approach. The grafting of television-era regulations onto the Internet would result in an artificially and needlessly crippled Internet sector in India.check them out .)
And let's not forget Mission 2007, the campaign launched by M.S. Swaminathan and a multi-stakeholder coalition of public and private sector entities seeking to connect India's 600,000+ villages to the Internet. They launched the idea a couple of years ago, hoping to employ a variety of models for bringing Internet access to villages, particularly the dissemination of small-business Internet kiosks built upon the STD/ISD telephone kiosk model.

So now, they've announced they're extending the goal through 2010, changing the name to Grameen Gyaan Abhiyan to emphasize that it's a rural empowerment initiative.
So far most of the effort seems to have focused on best practices for implementing rural internet services and training, but it will be interesting to see if any policy decisions made at the state or national level will help move the initiative forward.
Hmm... Wondering why my last comment isn't linking to my blogger profile properly. In case it doesn't work this time around, I'll just sign this manually. - andy carvin
