Google Launches the Internet Bus in India
Google has launched what is essentially a mobile internet cafe called the Internet Bus, to go around India providing poorer people, experience and education in using the internet. Using a high speed connection via what appears to be satellite, the vehicle has the words "Explore the World of the Internet" along the sides, it has not been cheaply done either. The whole vehicle appears to be a custom build, with large flat screen monitors, custom stands and lots of pretty lights. It has been said by the source, that the amount of people in India who are officially below the poverty line, is nearly as much as the total population of the USA. A video advertisement has also surfaced on YouTube, which you can find here.

Still, I guess Google feels somewhat generous?
might be good for people to find jobs online ect or do learning
dunno but they need proper centres i think like learning centres with internet access
only thing if people cant afford a pc why would they steal a mouse
dont just assume people will steal the buses they might but they might not as well
I agree with others here. Cheap form of "do-good-er" advertising. It helps noone but themselves :slap:
Not unless the bus get hijacked and turned into a shelter. Then it would really help a few.
