Computers and Camel Meat

Posted by Adrian Bridgwater

I’m nearing the end of my days here in Bangalore India with Yahoo and managed to get an afternoon off to walk the streets and see the ‘other side’ of Bangalore. Having seen TechParks, offices, a nice hotel and an airport – I thought it was only fair to walk the streets.

Inevitably, there is the glossy side of India’s tech-capital where wireless broadband and mobile coverage stretches as far as the eye can see – and then there is the old Bangalore. The latter is a feast for the all the senses and even features a genuine camel meat butcher. Mobile phones give way to pay phones and neon signs give way to the words “Internet 10 Rupees” painted on trees advertising low cost on the hop connectivity.

All the new software industry developments have caused a huge increase in traffic as one would imagine pollution. But the old quarters live on unperturbed none-the-less. India does have a solution for moving forward into the second generation of its IT growth and I will report on this in full soon.
