Homeyji,
Thanks for the wonderful read.
The blog entitled "From the Information Age to the Age of Unlimited" is pretty good. And no doubt - communications infrastructure is what a developing nation should get furnished with.
Talk about Nepal, we do have local internet exchanges, Akamai servers, wireless links between villages, Metro Ethernet Services and soon MPLS services, ADSL, Cable Plants, FTTH, Dial-ups - almost all means. We now even peer through FLAG Telecom to reach north america reducing time taken to travel to almost 30% less that what we used to do before. These are great signs for a nation of that size. Software revolution - FOSS, open-source involvement, a new technology task force in the govt and all that .. absolutely wonderful. Nepal is technologically sound - but concentrated to some valleys - IMO.
I just wanted to comment on your blog that Had you talked abt the downside of it too , it would have been wonderful. Internet has been getting more ripples than ever before. People have been hijacking networks more, and even DNS is found to be flawed, which sadly, doesnt have an immediate fix, but a workaround. Internet Governance is another big problem, and problems just follow like - running out of v4 space, transitioning to v6 and reluctance for change. More BOGONs, More SPAMs, More Flaws on the base protocols.
We got pretty networked community, and equally greater challenges ahead of us to maintain the networks from breaking.
