We have to realize the “Power of Internet”, we can get any information available in any corner of the world. Most of the companies realized the importance of their presence in Internet. Features of Internet are
1) Plenty of information like blog, web pages, etc
2) Online Services – Single click ticket booking (Tickets are booked within 10 minutes for festivals) , bank transactions etc
3) VOIP services like skype, gtalk etc. (location independent service)
4) Online lectures and classes, MIT university class video lectures.
5) Social networking, chatting, dating and what not?
6) Email, Mailing Groups
7) Software to search these information and services. (Google, Altavista)
Here the application developer, service providers and users are very independent so lot of improvements and addition to the technology. Users are overwhelmed with the services and products. Revenue models are plenty and proved. We call this ecosystem as “Internet open eco-system”
Now the question is “How many are getting benefited?”
The effective Internet users are very less, mostly they are software engineers, bank employees, managers and other qualified people. TRAI has released September 2007 report, number of broadband users are 2.4 million, on the other hand wireless subscriber base is 210 million. It is nearly 100 times greater and it is growing drastically.
ah ow! ah ow! ah ow! oh..tats my yawn..

“Your Admirer”: I understand that it can be precise but not everyone will have this background to understand the core point directly. If you are comfortable with Internet System then skip it and directly go to the solution. That it is the reason it is a separate POST.
MY Action: I will put this information in Introduction about skipping

Application service providers can be VOIP service providers like Skype, Google for search service, Yahoo for map service and new startups with new services in education, medical, shopping can be expected in near future.

Looks like this analysis is very India centric. TRAI research and the user demographics that you have discussed point only to India. The internet user demographics are way too different in other countries.
