Hi Ankur,<br>
Our school is near Sambhal in the Moradabad district, rural area. We<br>
have 35 XO. We had an experience of connecting the XOs to internet<br>
using a router and a Reliance Netconnect datacard. It works but the<br>
main problem is that this connection system is already very slow with<br>
one computer so when you want to connect several computers at the same<br>
time it is not very practical... Reliance is using CDMA, an old<br>
technology. I think the standard is now EVDO. In the GSM system when<br>
internet connection is possible, I think it is not better, providers<br>
are still offering EDGE and not 3G. Also there is a big gap between<br>
the theoretic speed and the real speed. I don't see how it could<br>
change in the near future.<br>
