Internet Penetration at less than 10% - How to reduce the gap of technology adoption ?

I have made a business plan to reduce the gap of technology adoption which can be categorized into social entrepreneurship , the execution of which would see benefits of technology to millions of poor in this country and also steady income for the business . I am planning for pilot run starting from August . I am on look out for social investors , partners , willing hearts who can help realize the dream of taking technology to the door steps of poor.

Some lines from the business plan
------------------------------

Internet usage in India continues to grow at a slow but steady pace.User-ship has reached 30 million by 2007 . At 47 million the penetration of internet among the urban Indians stands at 9%.Assuming a marginal usage of a couple of millions in the rural areas as well (taking the total number of internet users in all of India to 33 million), the all-India level penetration of internet usage would be around 2.8% or so.
(data used from India online 2007 research report of juxtconsult).


Does that mean 90% of Indian population still does not know the benefits of technology ?

I would be available for meeting tomorrow at IIT.Please reach me at 9840343707 if you think you need to catch me before the meeting.

thanks
