Again? The 'Indian Government' makes an announcement like this every three to six months. There is really really weird politics surrounding this vs the OLPC project in India. Start believing in these releases when you have consumers purchasing them, and/or deployments greater than 100.
- dimmuborgir 15y agoIsn't this how most elected politicians behave around the world? First announcement: "we'll do it". Status update: "as announced it is on course and will be completed 'soon'". Launch: "as promised here it is for the public". Media just publishes each statement as major news item and people feel it's already overrated.
- eru 15y agoYes. But you forgot about the delays and cancellations often happening between these steps.
- dimmuborgir 15y agoOf course. I was just more critical of the relation between media and people's perceptions than government's efficiency in my last comment.
