I-Cube is one of the most exhaustive reports available on the Indian Internet Market, which covers information areas like Internet usage amongst the households, Internet usage amongst businesses, Broadband status of the Indian market, content preferences, cross media consumption, public access, and online entertainment
A Snapshot of the report
I-Cube 2008: Internet usage in Indian households report offers interesting insights on the emerging pattern of Internet usage among Indian families. The report reflects on the Internet penetration rates as well as the characteristics of these families in terms of disparate profiles and affluence levels.
Signaling a gradual growth, the total Internet population of India for the year 2008 stands strongly at 55.5 million users.
India's urban Internet population has grown by 19% to reach 50 million (all India estimate) compared to 42 million in 2007. Of these 50 million Internet users (urban), 36.5 million are 'active users' who log on to the Internet at least once a month, while the remaining 13.5 million falls under the 'claimed' user category - meaning they have not used Internet in last one month but have used the medium before.
Rapid improvements in the telecommunication infrastructure and bandwidth speed has played significant role in the growth of internet users. Though higher-income group are the major contributors to Internet population, adoption in lower-income group is undergoing a steady change. As evident from our research, the Internet user population in SEC C, D&E contributes 32%.
On an average, about 4.24 million active users (urban: 30 cities) are logged on to the Internet daily. "Young Men" in the age group of 21 to 35 form 30.2% of the total active internet users. On an average, an Indian Internet user actively uses the Internet for 9 hrs per week.
Communication and Information search are the prime rationale for accessing Internet. Online communication modes "E-mail"-91%, "Text Chat"-47% and "Internet Telephony/Video Chat/Voice Chat"-13%, constitutes high percentage in overall Internet usage. However, a sizeable jump among all activities undertaken online has been witnessed in online gaming.
The rural Internet population is estimated to be 5.5 million (all India estimate) with the penetration rate of 0.6%. Of these 5.5 million Internet users (rural), 3.3 million are 'active users', while 2.2 million are in 'claimed' user category. Across India, southern states have shown to have higher Internet penetration in rural areas.

Blackberry Storm, and Vodafone customer service
There was this big hoarding screaming about the launch of Blackberry Storm by Vodafone. "SMS STORM to 111"..
This was a phone I was waiting for, and did not buy into the iphone hype that was there a few months back.
SMS i did. and I got a nice auto response saying someone would be in touch with me in 48 hrs.. The hours have extended to 240, and the promised call has not yet come..
This is what i call the great Indian Digital Divide. Wherein the technology is making huge strides forward... but the personnel service still belongs to the pre-independence years
As long as this last mile connectivity is not fixed... digital mechanisms will not be effective :(
Vodafone, I am happy to help you in this regard :)

Sign of things to come
techTribe Says Referral Job Site Not Working Out, Looking For A Buyer
techTribe, backed by Canaan Partners, is now exploring options like finding a strategic partner or a buyer.
The business model for online recruitment based on referrals is not “working out”, techTribe CEO and Founder Rohit Agarwal admitted in an interview to VCCircle. The company is now exploring options like a strategic partner or a buyer.
San Francisco and New Delhi-based techTribe was founded by serial entrepreneur Rohit Agarwal, in 2006. Before starting techTribes, Agarwal was co-founder and VP of marketing and business development at Webify Solutions, which got acquired by IBM in July 2006.
The company hoped to make money by becoming a referral job portal. It had received an undisclosed amount of funding from Canaan Partners, US-based Miven Venture Partners and The Entrepreneur Funds in 2007.
“The model for referral recruitment as we had planned is not working out,” said Agarwal.

Will we be looking at the second bubble burst now? I am skeptical on the online players who entered the market in the past couple of years, on VC funding exclusively. It would be especially worrying times for players who are focusing on Social Media/Networking sites, wherein they do not have a proper revenue model, nor the critical mass of users..
