The Internet major, Google India initiated its ‘Internet Bus’ concept on Feb. 3.
A mobile Internet kiosk will travel across 15 tier II and tier III cities in Tamil Nadu demonstrating the content and usage of the internet in the local language to the section of the population still averse to the same.

The Internet Bus will demonstrate content under four topics – information, communication, entertainment and education. It will also introduce its visitors to Google SMS search and channels.

“Increased awareness about, and access to Internet, especially in the local language will empower users with information and greater access to information. Even in people experience the Internet for a brief period of time and find it to be very useful, they will find ways and means to get back to it. The primary need is to sensitise the masses about the large content available in the local language,” Dr.Prasad Ram, head, R&D, Google India said during the launch of the bus.

The bus has already visited 12 towns in Tamil nadu so far. In March, it will be going to Pudukkottai. Trichy, Thanjavur, Kumbakonam, Neyveli, Cuddalore and Tiruvannamalai.

If you have friends in these towns tell them to check the bus out!
