Its nice to know that we are going in the right direction. But i am confused becos India is working on similar projects Gagan, One with Russia and other with Europe. Will it not lead to duplication of effots?
And for all those complaining on this development that it will not help the poor...may be directly it might not help but just look at how telecom growht changed the face of india. Now India has lowest calling rates anywhere inthe world.
Now consider this new development ...we may not rely of outside sources for such information anymore to help our soldiers fighting on borders or in air on water. Rescue aid can be sent soon to the distress with proper communication. Navigation aids of various transportation will lead to effective transportation solutions which will reduce the lead time and costs...will this not help the general public of India....
Please try to appreciate the developments and thinking of professionals in India....else india will never develop becos of such thinking...
