Internet penetration is 10x better than it was 2
years ago with wire-less broadband devices and with
so many cell-phones around, almost everyone I know
"at least" has a GPRS.
I agree it's better than two years ago. However, I'm not sure it's good enough to warrant moving out of a big city to start a company. Electricity is getting better but till then
power back-up ftw!
From what I've heard from my friends many villages have between two to four hours of power a day. So, UPS backup isn't going to fly. If you use a generator, you have to put up with the noise, not to mention the additional cost. I find it strange bootstrapping startups
complaining about environment, looks like
someone wants to be mouth-fed.
The OP suggested that entrepreneurs were moving to the countryside. I just asked whether that's feasible. I think this snide remark was uncalled for.I also submit that not having to worry about electricity and broadband is worth more than you think.

I need to be clear here. Not all entrepreneurs are Internet based. There is a ton of non-internet things people are trying to do.
