Networking Technology At Work In Rural India

Just picked up this Slashdot thread about a rediff.com article about a new video compression software technology...

As expected, most of the discussion on Slashdot is veering towards what is more important, drinking water or technology? Well, the answer, though obvious, is not an easy one to answer. The people who are motivated to develop technology are not the same people who are going to deliver drinking water. If you ask them to do that first and then concentrate on the technology aspect, they'd rather just give up. Both aspects need to be considered, and most of the time it will be a different set of people doing the two. That does not make this effort less important by any means....
