"The PC is a better option when using the Net for long durations"

On

the five-million figure

Five million is certainly not sufficient. I would say a figure of 50 million

would be more like it. We need to reach across the length and breadth of the

country.

On competition to the PC for Net connectivity

The Internet is available on mobile devices that will become more and more

popular, but there are two problems with them. The cellular tariff of Rs 1.4 per

minute on telephone call is too much and for the Internet usage it’s killing.

The tariff needs to be reduced before the common person can make use of it. The

other factor is the size of the screen. So in that direction the PC is a better

option for the long-duration use of the Internet.
