It's sad to see how few professionals in Goa leverage, or take advantage of the power of, the Internet.
Can we think of some campaign to get more people back home online? There's a high teledensity here. A growing number have their own computers or access to a cybercafe. But, many who have a phone + computer, often don't have Internet access. Over the past month, the Sancharnet switchover (for the umpteenth time, it seems) has given a severe setback to Internet communications in the state with the second-highest teledensity in the country, i.e. Goa. Many people, even some techies, have been facing problems in accessing their mail, or sending it out. That apart, any ideas of what can be done on a longterm basis? Building up directories of specific interest (Niraj Naik of DigitalGoa is working on one)? Promoting networks of shared interest (village-level or professional level)? Promoting access to hardware (who will bell the cat)? Your ideas are welcome. Copying this to the CSI-Goa mailing list, the Computer Society of India (Goa chapter). It's in everyone's interest that more people clamber onto the Net back home. FN On Tue, 15 Jul 2003, Siqueira, Allwyn. wrote: > Fred, > > This is just what the doctor ordered !!
