Women lead rural India's internet rush

BBC NEWS | South Asia: "In total 80% of these new kiosks are run by women, many of whom have had very little or no acquaintance with technology before. Asha Sanjay, of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Madras that established the scheme, says that while in some places people are not able to get a bus to the next village, the net allows them to connect to the world. He said that the benefit of using women operators became clear very quickly, with many coming in at 6.30 in the morning."
