I absolutely agree with you that the problem is complex, more complex
than north and south, villages and cities, ...
A system like LDC internal to India could be a solution. But I was not
thinking about an indian G1G1 only, I was thinking also about direct
orders done by local governments or companies, etc. I just wanted to
bring the focus on the problem. Who is going to order XO in U.P. and
Bihar ?
