Yea yea yea...our government sucks big time. Blame the government for overly priced leased lines. Talk about commonsense...our government has NONE. Heh... Well, the real problem still is the last mile. Till the government opens up the local loop to competition, we will still see the same conditions prevailing everywhere in India despite all regulatory reforms :P The small players can't get in cuz of prohibitively high costs of building your own local loop and the biggies wont give out affordable connections due to the same reasons :P 2Mbps @ 20,000INR a month with a download cap of 2GB heh...load of crap!! :P -- Regards, Dinesh A.
