United Villages, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company formed by Amir Alexander Hasson, a graduate of MIT's Sloan School of Management, is working... to network 50 villages in Orissa's Cuttack district, where bus-powered Wi-Fi service begins this month... UV will sell pre-paid cards, with phone number and email address assigned to them, in different denominations (up to 100 rupees, roughly $2.20). "One line gets shared by several thousand people," Mr. Hasson says, adding that a few transactions by individuals a month would make the service profitable for UV's Indian subsidiary.... "Drishtee pays UV as their ISP, and the kiosk operator pays UV 95 cents per card sold. We plan to network 220,000 villages. That adds up to a lot of money."
