IBM is working in the Bangalore, India area with the Karnataka Vocational Training and Skill Development Corporation (KVTSDC) to develop new jobs through mobile Cloud Computing. The state organization is part of India's Department of Labor.
Despite India's emergence on the world economic stage, per capita income there remains among the lowest 25% among the nations of the world. IBM statistics show that only 7% of the country's people have access to the Internet, yet sees opportunity in a wider spread use of mobile phones and services.
Thus, IBM and the Indian state are planning to deploy something called the Spoken Web, described by IBM as "a system that is comparable to the World Wide Web using speech technology and the telephone, whether landline or mobile."
"Spoken Web helps people create voice sites using their telephones," according to Paul Bloom, CTO/Telecommunications with IBM Research. "This project is a powerful example of how we can take advantage of societal trends and infuse them with technology to solve real problems in growth economies."
With the Spoken Web, users get a unique phone number that's equivalent to a URL. When other users access this voice site they get to hear whatever content has been uploaded, according to IBM.
