Village Communication in India, 2009
India reached a major landmark in November 2009 crossing the magic figure of half a billion wireless connections taking the wireless teledensity to over 43%. Between 15-17 million subscribers are added every month in what can be called among the fastest growing sectors of the Indian economy. Over 40% of the next 250 million new subscribers will come from rural areas that account for nearly 70% of the population in India. At the moment around 18% of the rural population has access to the mobile phone as against 97% for urban areas. The value of rural communication projects in the near future is about USD 100 billion including both public sector and private business interest.
BOP (Bottom of the Pyramid) and ‘ICT for inclusive growth’ have become the buzzword in India with both government and private sector increasingly focusing on this segment of population as the engine of growth.
Finpro with Tekes has studied the current and emerging trends in village communications in order to understand which sectors offer most interesting business opportunities for the Finnish companies. The goal of the project was to identify major players, drivers, challenges, regulations, business models and current technology solutions. Also it was to bring together the Indian opportunities and the suitable Finnish offering.

“Consumer intimacy” is a global phenomenon and a result of the growing importance of the user consumer perspective. Even in traditional industries such as construction, the community perspective has taken over and the success of a project is no longer only judged by the functional purpose of a project, but by issues such as its societal impact, mobility options, environmental impact, space convertibility… In other words, additional to functionality, the social consequences of a project is growing in importance.

Co-Doing - a Network approach to doing business, 09/2008
Saying "Good-Bye" may be a weird way to start. But the starting point for Co-Doing inevitably is a Good-Bye.
