I have a feeling that high speed broadband is being deliberately kept expensive in India to keep the monopoly of the big conventional media players. Even HD video conferencing is not possible at current speeds. However nowadays many websites are offering live TV of Indian channels in free as well as paid format, depending on the type of channel. I use different apps. on my N8 to watch live TV channels through 3G (for a short time) or WiFi. A lot of news and some entertainment and movie channels are available for free. However picture quality is so-so 320x240. -- Freedom is a shared resource. Take some, leave the rest for others. Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists.
