well the point is... what do you expect them to do next? you expect them to be able to provide local services for india? where we do not even have a decent yellow pages services?for them to offer local service in india, they would have to find a database... and updated database of all the businesses in india. and that is a complicated task with such an unorganised industry like ours. for maps, they again have to rely upon third party satellite information for countries which they can showcase in details. they can only use information which is accessible and which exists. 🙂 when it comes to india, even the government would be clueless about our country's most extensive databases of information and map data 😉
