• X paired up with Tata Trusts to launch an initiative to provide rural
women in India with internet literacy. Named “Y,” the initiative will use
bicycles to reach rural villages and educate women on the basic
benefits of using the internet.
• On the back of each bicycle is a cart that carries resources needed
to educate the women. For a minimum of two days a week for four to
six months, local women will be able to learn for free from the
bicyclist, or “Y.” In order to ensure efficient communication, the
bicyclist will be a trainer sourced from a local NGO or community
group. Bikes will work in clusters of three villages at a time. After
making sure that the women are able to use internet devices
independently, the cycle carts will move on to the next cluster.

The 11th report of the Second Administrative Reforms
Commission, titled "Promoting e-Governance - The Smart Way
Forward", established the government's position that an expansion
in e-Government was necessary in India. The ARC report was
submitted to the Government of India on 20 December 2008.[3]
The
report cited several prior initiatives as sources of inspiration,
including references to the Singapore ONE programme. To pursue
this goal, the X was formulated by the Department of Information
Technology (DIT) and Department of Administrative Reforms &
Public Grievances (DAR&PG). The program required the
development of new applications to allow citizen access to
government services through Common Service Centers; it aimed
to both reduce government costs and improve access to services.

A X building is one that relies on renewable sources to produce as
much energy as it uses, usually as measured over the course of a
year.
X buildings start with energy-conscious design. Many features work
without an energy source. For example, in cold climates, south-facing
buildings with large expanses of windows on that side can produce
well over 50% of their heat through passive solar gain. On the cold
north side of the building, smaller windows can angle to wider
openings, permitting more light while limiting heat loss. In warmer
seasons, passive ventilation systems can pull cool air up from the
lower levels and vent it through the building's highest point. Rooftop
systems can collect rainwater to reduce usage of treated water. Solar
panels, heat recovery systems, geothermal heating and wind turbines
are among the other technologies used to achieve X status.

X’s tech uses the unused buffer frequencies — “Y” —
between TV channels to carry data. In India, these spaces
end up being available in the 200-300 MHz spectrum band,
although there are chunks of unused spectrum available in
India up to 700 MHz. Currently, that spectrum belongs to a
national broadcaster in India, Doordarshan. Y signals can
travel up to 10 kilometers, which makes the technology
perfect for connecting rural or expensive-to-wire areas. For
participating regions, a $20,000 Y router in a town center
would receive the white space signals and then provide free
Wi-Fi access to the town’s citizens.

X was established on February 20, 1997 by an Act of Parliament to regulate telecom
services and tariffs in India. Earlier regulation of telecom services and tariffs was
overseen by the Central Government.
X’s mission is to create and nurture conditions for growth of telecommunications in
India to enable the country to have a leading role in the emerging global information
society.
One of its main objectives is to provide a fair and transparent environment that
promotes a level playing field and facilitates fair competition in the market. X
regularly issues orders and directions on various subjects such as tariffs,
interconnections, quality of service, Direct To Home (DTH) services and mobile
number portability.
In January 2000, X was amended to establish the Telecom Disputes Settlement
Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) to take over the adjudicatory functions of the X. The
TDSAT was set up to resolve any dispute between a licencor and a licensee,
between two or more service providers, between a service provider and a group of
consumers. In addition, any direction, Xx orders or decisions can be challenged by
appealing to TDSAT.
