Speaking of remote areas one might think immediately of jumping on into those hunting boots and marvel to the dense jungle rainforest trees. People are lured with the beauty and the thrill of visiting dense jungles of Asia or Africa. Progress in this areas are very limited. Internet might be able to change this situation. Thus, for those tasked of bringing the Internet to remote areas of Asia or Africa putting up an internet facility is big challenge. Maybe one would put on some hiking boots and tread on the jungles to survey for possible infrastructure site. Anyway, everyone is aware of the formidable task of bringing the internet to jungle areas. Installation of Wifii networks would be one possibility. Governments sometimes even have the program to provide subsidies for this kind of endeavours.

Internet was basically perceived to be for those of the ones in the cities or universities. This should not actually be the case as under developed areas will extremely benefit with Internet. Just imagine a farmer in China could pay for goods bought on the internet using a credit card online. Or the kids of a remote district in Indonesia accessing information from the web which is not other wise possible. I remember the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) which puts great efforts on making this a reality for children in developing countries of Cambodia or Nigeria.

There are also researches on implementation of alternatives like a satellite-based system that will provide people living in remote islands and rural areas the facility to connect to internet. There is a tremendous potential benefits in being able to give people in these areas easy access to all sorts of information from the internet. The exchange of information will be faster and a vast growth in education can be seen. Eventually everyone will be connected as part of the global information network.
