Kuppam Webcam
I’m in Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India for the annual review of the Kuppam i-Community program. Here’s a view of the main street from the webcam on the roof of the local CIC (Computer Information Center), which is connected to the regional wireless broadband network that’s been deployed as part of the program.
The performance on the interior of the network is pretty reasonable, but access to the public internet can still be problematic, mostly due to high latency on a satellite link to the upstream provider. Typical ping times to the US are in the vicinity of 700ms. The proxy cache helps for most normal users here, though.
We’ll be travelling around the area to various program activity sites for the next couple of days, it will be interesting to see how things have progressed.
