Microsoft continues showing interest in bringing high speed internet to more users around the world and in places where not always large companies often make large investments.
At a dinner hosted in honor of the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, the current Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, talked about the plans of his company to implement Internet access to low-cost broadband in more than 500,000 villages in India . According Nadella, the initiative will leverage the "white space" of the TV spectrum available in the country.
Last year, the Redmond company tested a pilot program whose beginning was exactly take internet using this low-cost method, but now the plans are already more well underway and the company is working with the central and state governments to bring broadband connectivity for rural areas.
Nadella, in turn, also argued that will drive more affordable projects and services to ensure more opportunities across India. Next week Microsoft will announce announce the availability of its cloud services operating out of data centers in India, and of course, he considers it "a major milestone".
