more Internet connected devices than India
You'd think that most everyone in both countries has a cellphone. In rural areas people may not have computers, but every farmer has a cellphone to order stuff from their cooperative or to check prices at market.

- dragonsh 6y ago> more Internet connected devices than India This statement is still true China has far more internet connected devices than India. Although I will say it's a walled Garden, and India with new laws to control Internet related companies is moving towards walled garden. Waiting for a response of the Union Government of India [0] [1] against a high court case in Kerala where the new laws are challenged. If actions like this and promotion of pseudo science continue, India will soon be progressing backwards not forward.

- blueblisters 6y ago> new laws to control Internet related companies For the sake of being accurate, they're still rules and not laws. Unfortunately, the existing laws leave a lot of discretionary powers in the hand of the executive. But like you mentioned, the rules are being challenged in courts.
