Dear Vickram, A group from one of the ubiquitous bastis of Delhi (one of those -- to Sheila Dikshit's refined gaze -- unsightly settlements that were hidden behind large billboards during the Commonwealth Games) met me today and asked for a broadcast solution in their cramped basti: about 20,000 people living in a couple of sq kms.
Since all the 'available' CR frequencies in Delhi have been handed over to media & management schools and other deserving communities, I told them that getting another CR license in Delhi would be next to impossible, and that we need to look for other solutions. Do you think a leaky feeder could be the answer? I think 1400 dwellings were mentioned, but I don't think that translates into more than a dozen very narrow alleys. Any other solutions you could suggest?
