Maran for Indian Internet content
ZDNet India among others runs a story quoting the Indian Communications and Information Technology Minister Dayanidhi Maran. He says for television “the real adoption and penetration came only when the content became local” and he believes this would be the case for the internet. Maran is also quoted as saying “We will soon launch internationalised domain names in the Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and others, enabling local language domain names at the secondary level.” Further, servers shall now be hosted in India so that the Internet traffic can be routed within the country.
