Soon Reliance and others will be forced to improve their service if they want
to survive and prosper.
But they have achieved to provide at least rudimentary service in 5/6 years
of operation (in cell phones) which government failed to provide for (take
electricity) in last 60 years.
My village in Dhubri district does not yet have regular electricity, paved
roads and clean water supply (we rely on wells) after 60 years but does receive
NextTel cell phone signals.
People who never had land phone lines had cell phones as the first phone.

Currently there is something bigger happening-all Hush Hush:
Reliance trying to corner huge Spectrum(allowed to be a cOuntry's right by ITU
rules)and all the other players crying out loud"You cannot do that".
So they can Cheat the Economy as they like--Licensed to Kill.

Customs"Where is it written--the address of the Party to be Notified?"And of
course I have to be penalized for Demurrage that longer.As per Rules.

As an addendum to my previous response on the matter of the quality of private
services as in cell-phone, I would be remiss if I did not share what I heard
during my recent trip to Assam:
*** That service is uniformly bad thruout Assam. And the worst is the
darling of the private enterprise
advocates: Reliance; so much so that there was some kind of a 'Bandh' against
purported Reliance deceit of consumers.
I was loaned a cellphone from a new service provider by a relative, which,
amazingly worked from my native village at remote Namti, but would not work
from some of Guahati's most important localities such as Beltola and Rajgarh.
*** Most surprisingly the cell phone service that generally is acknowledged
to be the most reliable across Assam is that provided by the Indian Govt.
operated BSNL, but at a cost. Apparently it is the most expensive of cell phone
services.
So much for the conventional wisdom about public vs. private enterprise in
India, specifically as it relates to cell phone service in Assam.

Cell phone services are available all over India at a very reasonable rate
with excellent service, however electricity is not.
This is because cell phone was considered a luxury and hence left to the market
forces whereas electricity was considered essential and left for the government
to provide.
Government always messes up whereas fair market dynamics does not.
