There
is an information explosion in the Net. More and more organizations
are using web pages to disseminate useful, pertinent information.
Government agencies are not lagging behind, under e- governance
states and local bodies are competing with one another to
be user friendly. Still, one needs a computer to access the
web pages.
If only, one can access the relevant information placed on
the web by the friendly agency, through plain simple telephone,
then larger body of ordinary people can avail the benefit
of information explosion.
Now, this is not a dream but a reality, courtesy the pioneering
efforts of a small, Hyderabad based software company, Innovation
Communications Systems Ltd. Using their “Voice Enabled
Web “ technology, a student can access the web site
of his institution, a broker can access stock market, a farmer
can access expert inputs, every citizen can access local bodies
help lines - through simple plain old telephone .
Another case of making ICT work for the masses.
