They make obscene profits and the all the while claim that they pay the highest taxes in the world. If the market conditions were so difficult, who has forced them the stay out around here and sell their pathetic services? A fair weather indication of their turnover is the news that the mobile tarrifs have increased to over 1.30 lakh crore. If the estimated numbers of millions of Indians joining the mobile bandwagon is true, this is a serious party and money. I would still need a confirmation and no one knows the real picture barring perhaps the telecom operators themselves.
They have fudged the numbers, dodged the taxes and take all of us a big ride. Thats the reality of big businesses all over the world.
