I came across a website which details the ways and means to set up a private ISP in India given the fact that there is no licence fees.
Since it is copyrighted, I cannot copy and paste. But head over there and you would realise as to how VSNL under it’s new bosses is abusing it’s monopoly.

Of interest is the way DoT and VSNL change the policies to suit themselves.

What gives the right to act in this partisan manner? This white paper came way back about 5 years back. However, it remains valid to date.

They need to be exposed.
