I think it's not so much compare to the importance of high speed internet. I live in Russia and our government doesn't try much to provide broadband internet. Although it gave 3G frequencies 1 year ago to 3 biggest mobile operators for free. Operators began to build the infrastructure. Completed it in some cities, but the crisis has come. Besides militaries dont give frequencies in Moscow :)). Some companies are trying implement 4G, wimax. The broadband penetration (1mb/s+) in Moscow - 80 percent. In other big sities - 25-40 percent, small towns 10-40. Cost - 20-40$ per month. After all the penetration level basically depends of personal income. The best thing our governments can do (especially in emerging markets, considering the inefficiency of public sector. I mean bureaucracy) is to release internet providers from taxes. And prevent monopoly (it's much more difficultly you know). Is the situation in India similar or it's differs much? p.s. Sorry for my english. 6 billion$.
