Every body talk about the modern communication world,in India the communication revolution started with the PCO/STD/ISD booths.The efforts behind every booth or the developments in the communication developments were only due to Sam Pitroda. He should have been honored with Bharat Ratna long back.any how we must atleast acknowledge what he is doing for the country
Sam is trying to sell his private business through rediff. It has been a failure for long time. Old vine in new bottle! So called mobile money requires nothing more than an iPhone/android app.
All development in mobile telephony should be frozen.We require food,medical care,housing and good basic education with 1000 ITIs across the country.Credit card on mobile phones can be used by miniscule group.It will help to sperad the epedemic of 'Suicide' across the country.Sam is trying to do jugglery with his electronic capability .He should be more pragmatic matching his age and experience
Mr Pitroda is requested to convince Government to for taking necessary step for Government Scools and Government Hospitals in the Country. Government Hospitals used to be high rank and research oriented now Government Hospitals are mark of Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same way our state Governments are apathetic towards Government schools which in past gave Pioneer leaders and many many in our country. Now low grade priove school with high fees thrive without education standard

Visit Kerala state and find the Government schools and hospitals which are better than or comparable to the best in the private schools and hospitals. The State government has changed the face of these institutions in the last 5 years. There is another minus point in this also, people are flocking to the Government schools and hospitals away from the private institutions. Kerala grama panchayats are running every district hospitals and all the PHC's are run by the villages. The local MLA/MP gives funds from their funds too for the uplift. The village governing council monitors the village schools and PHC's. Why can't your village do the same? They are empowered to do the same as per the Panchayati raj.
There are some misconceptions about Credit Card Usage at ATM. I hope the new Digital Credit Card proposed by Sam Pitroda will be flawless and reliable.

The encription provided by the mobile services like the Black berry are forcing even the governments headache and they are better compared to plastic cards.
Yesterday, I was discussing one of my Mentor at Informatics Center Oslo (NR), Mobile is no more private now, Iphone can easily hack, even Mobile One Time Password is not good option , SMS can be hacked , it is not so secure to send in encrypted format. I don't think this mobile banking is a good option .First we have to secure our mobile, and If we did, for Aged people, they may forget PIN, for child , they will misplace their mobile and this will be become very much security threat and will be really a disaster.

His Idea won't workout , i know Arcot have a good product , even people can pay instantly from the PDF they got , they have to just sign digitally and payment will be done automatically
This is already in practice.So what's the hoo ha about.I have been making payments on the internet and I my friends also do it thru' mobile.So why this boost for SAM.The MOST MOBILE MONEY is the one the politicos and fraudsters bank in Tax Havens.Anyway, can SAM get it back?Will MM cosult him on this.
