Rony...why do you think they are not giving good data services? This is what they are afraid of and its not that their broadband services will compromise their national traffic. More importantly their international traffic will drop drastically. Hence their major revenue source will be destroyed. Thus we need a pure ISP and not a telco doubling up as an ISP. -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
