Telecom players will battle with each other to offer cheap and affordable broadband internet connectivity and flat-rate unlimited calling voice telephony. Rural India will see kiosks where one can use a computer, pay bills, draw money from an ATM, and use it for other e-governance activities such as land registration, etc.

The towns and villages will see homes connected with extremely cheap voice telephony along with internet connectivity for special gadgets with touchpad screens.

More web content will be generated in local languages and more homes will have PCs. Schools will have broadband connections and most kids would have experienced Internet.

Hospitals will work as chains, where a major center will be connected to satellite centers through broadband connectivity where a specialist will diagnose many patients sitting at one place. Many such applications will use communication links to change their business models.

The current telecom operators will get divided into service providers and network owners. More Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) will be reaching out to customers while some network owners will lease equipment to many such service providers.
