For them its just a market, but they sure will revolutionize the access to villages. Mobile networks are creating inroads into areas where even electricity hasn't reached, which opens u a whole new market for vendors to sell goods to the rural population.
Two things can change the way goods are bought and sold. One, an excellent network and two, a good delivery sevice (like a post office).
Post offices need to leverage their amazing delivery network and need to tie up with vendors to create amazing employment and other opputunities for everyone in rural areas.
Mobile based ordering system and courier (or post office) based delivery system looks like a killer combo.
Soon Rural kiosks will be coming up in a lot of states. They wil have simple interfaces and allow people to buy things easily, online.
The possibilities in terms of education like shown in the IDEA ad are also immense.
What ever be the speed of the internet in villages, if the amount of browsing s limited to few specific task, then local storages can help a lot.
All that is need is each one of us, pick up atleast our own village and try to help it grow.
