摘要

The gleaming Indian headquarters of Hewlett-Packard, an American computing giant, are testament to India's technology-led boom. The glass-panelled tower, located on a busy Bangalore thoroughfare, swarms with a new breed of well-heeled urban professionals. But inside the building, in a warren of cubicles on the second floor, a rather different customer is being targeted. Engineers and programmers at HP Labs, the company's research arm, are working on low-cost devices for the three-quarters of Indians who still live in the countryside. In one room, a cheap e-mail device that allows messages to be sent in local languages is on display; in another sits a tablet-shaped PC that lets users fill out government forms in Indian scripts. These technologies are part of HP'S ambitious plans to sell to the 4 billion poorest people at the bottom of the global economic pyramid. In addition to work being done at the HP Labs, the company has also invested resources in its "e-inclusion" initiative, a project designed to set up "Digital Villages" and "i-communi-ties" around the world-the former are philanthropic projects, the latter strategic market investments. Several centres-in India, South Africa, Ghana and Brazil-have already been established.
