| Summary/Abstract |
The original Internet design combined technical, organizational, and cultural characteristics that decentralized power along diverse dimensions. Decentralized institutional, technical, and market power maximized freedom to operate and innovate at the expense of control. Market developments have introduced new points of control. Mobile and cloud computing, the Internet of Things, fiber transition, big data, surveillance, and behavioral marketing introduce new control points and dimensions of power into the Internet as a social-cultural-economic platform. Unlike in the Internet's first generation, companies and governments are well aware of the significance of design choices, and are jostling to acquire power over, and appropriate value from, networked activity. If we are to preserve the democratic and creative promise of the Internet, we must continuously diagnose control points as they emerge and devise mechanisms of recreating diversity of constraint and degrees of freedom in the network to work around these forms of reconcentrated power.

| Summary/Abstract |
The explosive growth in India's mobile telephony during the last decade coincided with a robust growth in its trade with China. A variety of imported equipment from China played a critical role in augmenting the use of mobile phones and expansion of networks in India. This paper studies the trends of these imports and examines the reasons for their penetrating deep into the Indian market. It argues that Chinese imports bridged a serious supply-side deficiency in India's telecom sector: the absence of a modern indigenous equipment manufacturing industry. Pointing out that development of the latter has been stunted due to low R&D, limited innovations, lack of access to finance, and liberal access to imports, the paper argues that Chinese imports are likely to continue until these conditions prevail, notwithstanding security concerns over such imports.

| Summary/Abstract |
Financial Inclusion is eminent for sustained growth in South Asia. This study is
an attempt to measure and comparatively analyze the levels of financial inclusion
in South Asian countries. On the basis of eighty-nine parameters, it is found that
the situation of financial inclusion in South Asia is modest as compared to other
regions of the world. The usage of banking services, use of debit and credit cards,
bank-borrowing, deposit of savings is at low levels. The use of e-banking is also
extremely low; however, the mobile-banking is picking up. The gender bias is high
in most of the countries as there are more male users as compared to female
users. Many initiatives are being taken to promote financial inclusion and the
situation has also improved data-wise, but there is still is a long way to go. This study
is distinguished in providing a comparative picture of South Asian countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mobile apps and tablets have assumed a prominent position in the landscape of technology use in education and training, as anticipated by the EDUCAUSE 2012 Horizon Report. With mobile phone subscriptions totaling around six billion, and predictions that sales of tablets and e-book readers will increase substantially as prices continue to fall, mobile devices are rightly seen as a compelling means of solving pressing global problems in education. Numerous successes have already been recorded.

| Summary/Abstract |
India has one of the fastest growing and largest telecommunications services markets in the world. To begin with, most of the increases in telecom services were met through imports. The state has now responded to this situation by attempting to make India a manufacturing hub for telecommunications equipment. Although there is evidence of increased domestic production, the surging demand has necessitated imports. The value added by domestic manufacturing is still very low, but is likely to increase as the scale of domestic manufacturing increases.
