There are library buses, dental buses, hair salon buses and now Internet buses--courtesy of Google India. Google's Internet-equipped bus has been touring rural India for several weeks, chatting up the wonders of the Web. Is this an effective approach to bridging the digital divide? If so, it would be easy to replicate.

Hi, I just came across your post while researching information about internet buses in general. So far, I've heard of projects in Mauritius (see http://herrhorn.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/broadband-on-the-beach/) and Egypt (other than India). Do you know of any other?

The google bus in India seems to be under way right now... would be interesting to hear how it's perceived by the local population.

Hi Sebastian,
There are other Internet buses. Here's information about one in Finland: http://www.splq.info/issues/vol37_3/09.htm. I've also heard about one in the Philippines.

Thanks for your comment.
