Hi all, If it is true (which i hope not), then i was just wondering where are the ministries registered in India? And hope that I&B is registered too and that it has served the community for past 3 years and so forth.
If there is license sharing possibility, then we are not aware of and if that is possible, why is it not included in the guidelines and made public? Sajan you can make us understand the situation clearly I guess. regards, mahesh On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 2:19 PM, Vickram Crishna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Just a spot of interesting deconstruction of the Press Release itself (not > that this will get any traction in the kind of media that reaches ordinary > people today): > > "This has become possible after the Ministry's permission to Society for > Development Alternatives to establish, maintain and operate a community > radio.
