Internet access has allowed businesses providing useful services to the rural and urban poor in India, set up IN rural India to flourish. For example, a banking service which uses mobile internet, which allows rural to urban migrants to send money back from the city to their families.

What matters is giving these people money to spend, not mediums through which to funnel cash they don't always have.
