the trip of Prime Minister
Milan , Sept. 28, 2015 – 24:10
The technology giants look to the present, that of mature economies pampered with more devices more advanced (and expensive) and sifted by monitoring the data for advertising purposes, but also to the future, represented by the countries in the developing world. The future of the next billion Internet users. And the future that India, with its 1.25 billion inhabitants, is a candidate to play as protagonist in technological and economic terms. “To continue to make progress we need to become the leading online,” confirmed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is visiting the United States until September 30.

The journey of Narendra Modi in Silicon Valley
India and China
Modi met the leaders of giants of Silicon Valley in a sort of relay race with Chinese President Xi Jinping that suggests a passing of the torch (technological and economic) between the two powers, with India more open to various Facebook and Google and China on which hang allegations of cyber-espionage of the US government.
Among those handshakes with his countrymen Satya Nadella (Microsoft) and Sundar Pichai (Google), with the number one Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and Apple to Tim Cook.
Digital India
On the table Digital India, government project to upgrade the infrastructure, dialogue with citizens and give them the tools to exploit the potential Network and technology. California started, for some time, the rush to plant its flag, thus linking the new Internet to various brands. Zuckerberg is doing with Internet.org platform of free access that to avoid controversy on the fast track granted to its services was renamed Free Basic by Facebook. In the Q & A with the public modes, which ended with a heartfelt remembrance of the mother by the Indian president, the founder of Facebook she has avoided the subject and has given way to the objectives of the country. The desire to connect 600,000 Indian villages with optical fiber in the next five years to the role of women, who “represent 50% of the population and can not get trapped between the four walls.”
Emotion and participation, with Zuckerberg that changed her profile photo to mark Digital support to India. But no ads.
Wi-Fi in 400 stations
New concrete has come from Google and Microsoft. In Mountain View, Ways and Pichai announced wi-fi high speed of 400 railway stations. The first one hundred, for the benefit of more than 10 million people a day will be reached by the end of 2016. The Android operating system also will write in eleven Indian languages more, including Gujarati Modi.
Broadband villages
Nadella has instead referred to the contribution of Microsoft to bring broadband to the villages and to the availability of its cloud services.
