Google launches Internet Bus in Karnataka

Google India today announced that its ‘Internet Bus' will now be touring Karnataka on a campaign focusing on four themes - information, communication, entertainment and education.

Buoyed by the success of the project in Tamil Nadu, Google has launched the Internet Bus in Karnataka.

The Internet Bus rolled out from Kolar on Monday and is on an ambitious journey into Karnataka.

How to browse the net, search, e-mail, social networking, browse maps or track stock market trends - this is what global web-based search engine Google is going to teach people as its custom-built Internet bus drives through 15 towns of Karnataka to expose the people to the digital world.

The bus, which began its journey Monday, will course through the state for the next 50 days.

Google has also created platforms like the 'Be NetSmart' campaign to educate students, parents and teachers on Internet safety.

After travelling through Karnataka towns, the Internet bus will drive into other states across the country for similar exposure over the ensuing months.
