Ken Keniston interview 

Rajesh sent me a link to an interview with Ken Keniston that appeared in Technology Review. The interviewer is Venky Hariharan. Prof Keniston talks about cheap information kiosks in India and the changes they are bringing about. I dont necessarily agree with all of Prof Keniston's views, but nevertheless the interview is a good primer for those who would like an introduction into the ICT4DEV scene in India.

Billions of dollars are being spent on ICT4D—but if it crashes, people may feel that the money is better spent on something else. To prevent that we need to know what works and what doesn’t work, how costly it is, and who can pay for it.
