Looking at the Times of India (a good place to read to get away from the skew of US politics but perhaps hard for those who are used to a more US centric view). One of the lead articles is on the tech center build outs going on in India.
What are the trends will fill those offices?
1) Mobile Applications
2) Green Energy
3) Green Lighting
4) Global Positioning Systems
5) Next Generation Networks
6) Green Mobile
7) Netbooks
8) New Interfaces
9) Content Delivery
10) High Definition TV
Most interesting is the fact that the story is no longer outward facing. The article highlights the 400M mobile subscribers internal to India. Also highlighted is the use of SMS with ecommerce, Widgets and the mobile web. The expectation is that SMS spam will be a big problem as well.
Saying all that the trend on the phone in India is take advantage of its recent upgrades to 3G made the 41st country to get 3G (though they consciously want to catch up to Japan and Korea in their WiMAX and LTE rollouts).
The best part of the discussion was the topic of the Set Top box offering WiFi access to the HD Video it was receiving. Interesting concept and makes the Femto disucssion alot more interesting.
