Read the articles you linked to.

"Keeping up with their promise to make smartphones more root-friendly,"

"They didn't specify which handsets will receive the capability or when we can expect to see it, but the company promises to keep us updated "every few weeks.""

"Motorola said it plans to enable the unlockable/relockable bootloader currently found on Motorola XOOM across its portfolio of devices starting in late 2011, "where carriers and operators will allow it.""

What's funny is you lot sure like to drag out the 'reality distortion field' a lot.

Why was this modded down instead of up?

I never met that guy, but I do have a strong memory of being held captive aboard an alien ship with funky mirrors. When I returned, I told everybody a bout my ordeal. Now I'm living out my days in this damn hospital. Oh well, at least my sister won the swim meet.

From Bhoomi FAQ

Who has designed the Bhoomi software?

The Bhoomi software has been fully designed in house by National Informatics Centre (NIC), Ministry of Information Technology, Government of India.

NIC is doing really good work on behalf of Govt. of India.

They are planning to develop (or help to develop) web sites with useful information for every district in India (Total no. districts = 601, Districts with websites = 399)

I think some kind of XML site feed exposing district related data (e.g : no. schools, hospitals) will help decision makers to understand patterns and take quick actions and plan better.
