Is India the best place for low cost computing initiatives?

We heard about the $10 laptop that the Indian government is planning to launch,

Now, Airtel India is launching a cloud-based Net PC, the system will cost about $165 and it will consists of a 15 inch flat screen and plug and play system. It will be connected to the could environment via a backend Linux run server for storage and application.

Considering the addressable market size in India and the ever growing middle class population, the Indian market has all the ingredients to make such project a success.

Many users are still worried about the safety of their data in could computing environment, but in a growing economy where people are trying to get the best of what technology has to offer, I think this and other similar projects will succeed.
