India's global position in broadband penetration dropped from 125 in 2013 to 131 in 2014 out of 189 countries, according to the State of Broadband report by the United Nations.

The UN Broadband Commission's report said 57% of the world's people remain offline and unable to take advantage of the enormous economic and social benefits the internetcan offer.

The report was released just ahead of the forthcoming Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit in New York and the parallel meeting of the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development on September 26.

The Broadband Commission comprises more than 50 leaders from across a range of government and industry sectors.

India ranked 80 among 133 developing countries on percentage of households with internet in 2014.

I have send an SMS and even filled a form online for BSNL broadband yesterday and I am yet to receive a call from them for installation. One can tell how bad India is when it comes to internet or broadband penetration from this. Digital India is going nowhere.

Digital India in only on Paper. Yet to become reality and if it continued like this we would be counted in the bottom list.
