7 Eye-Opening Comments By Google's Eric Schmidt On India


#6 India in danger of missing Internet revolution

In an interview to CNBC TV 18, Schimdt said, “I’m worried that India, having been satisfied with the great success of their IT revolution, have made the same mistake many companies do-they rested on their laurels without understanding how quickly technology changes”

The search giant was referring to a severe lack of fiber optic connectivity in India, which is reported to be the future of high speed Internet. He also added saying, “India’s connectivity to the net was always weak. There are insufficient undersea cables to handle the bandwidth, fiber optic cables are proprietary instead of public and infrastructure didn’t get enough attention.”

About the country, Schimdt also opinionated saying, “We know that India's internet infrastructure allows Indian engineers to solve the problems of small businesses in other countries. If India plays its cards right, we'll soon see Indian engineers and Indian small businesses tackling Indian problems first, then exporting the solutions that work best."
