Today, Google launched an initiative called the Internet Bus Project, designed to show off all the Internet has to offer to cities in Tamil Nadu, India. The purpose is to introduce people that are not familiar with the Internet to the education, information, communication, and entertainment it has to offer.

The bus will be ready to go with plenty of useful content in both English and Tamil. “We’ll showcase how the Internet can make everyday life simple through services like search, email, social networking, maps and others.”
