Our communicantions minsiter hallucinates a bit and the media hails him as the next best thing to have happened to telecom. Throw in around another jokers in the pack( read TRAI ) and this buffonery is for everyone to see and perhaps comment on.
TRAI welcomes the “One India” idea proposed by Maran. Maran wants to see a single tarriff structure for telephones across India. Little realising the fact that differential calling rates suffice for the users depending on the uage patterns. Mobile operators announce the “schemes” taking in view the market feedback and user needs.
For someone who wishes to keep the mobile phone only to recieve the incoming calls, he/she may not be interested in the uniforma calling rates for that matter. Maran needs to realise simple facts. First, clear up the mess in the Broadband sector, spur on BSNL to leave it’s monopolsitic attitude and work for improving the quality of infrastructure. Making tall claims from pulpits is easy but difficult to implement in reality.
That reminds me about Reliance. Does anyone know that Rs 700( less that $14 per month) is enough to make Reliance to Reliance unlimted calls across the length and breadth of country? Well, it is enough for people who worry about Subscriber Trunk Dialling bills. Unlimited for any length of time. Thats the real power of owning your own network. Kudos Reliance.
Mr Maran, thats ONE INDIA for you.
P.S. Subsequently, Operators differ on the implementation of “One India”.That’s Indian Telecom market for you.
