The time may not be far when airlines also start using the cybercafe channel for ticket sales. Especially, budget airlines like AirDeccan which rely completely on web based bookings will need to find more distribution channels like this as they expand more. -- end quote Isn't Air Deccan already with Reliance Web World?

Literacy should not be a problem even in small villages as it will not take much time for application and web services providers to come up with apps in localized languages and native look and feel (Companies like Yahoo are already taking a step towards that). Once that happens, the possibilities are endless. For a common villager, it can provide advanced weather information, news, tips of the trade for different businesses and jobs in urban areas. Ecommerce applications like online bill pay, online ticketing, ordering things not available locally can greatly enhance quality of life. For students it can be a source of education, finding information about Universities, career opportunities etc. This will obviously be a great boost for the Internet ecosystem in India.

All job portals have such centers 2. Matrimony sites have such centres run by franchisees 3. Online ticketing had to take this route). Is someone also thinking of something similar in retail? .. I beleive I heard of some one working on such thing, but didn't pick up.
