Being Indian I can assure you that this will either:
a)take ages to be initiated and implemented or
b) be abandoned midway or
c)somehow the govt will be convinced to take over the costs of the project (which means a lot taxpayers money will go into MS and its Indian partners pockets in beneficial deals). - *most likely
Indian villages need basic infrastructure to support projects like these, which the govt will have to set up first. Moreover people in rural india are way to poor to bu microsoft products so the govt will pay for it. In the end most of these villages will get broadband in due course with or without the microsoft project there. This is just part of the media circus by our new govt.

or its a cheap way for m$ to get realy cheap human workers. english teachers arent that rare in india i guess, and people are more or less used to speak with indians as support.

Microsoft doesnt have to work so hard to get employees in India, what might be cheap labour in the west, is a decent paying job here. And English is a compulsory language in schools.
Although Business Process Outsourcing of customer service and tech support to India is hot topic in the west, in actuality the industry contributes to only 1% of India's GDP, so in macro terms the industry is quite small. What India wants is manufacturing, engineering, software R&D jobs to shift here.

"Make in India" campaign. What an effing irony!
