If this is true, there is some moron working overtime to kill the fantastic service. If I took an unlimited connection, it doesnt mean that it has to come with caps. Unlimited, for the uninitiated ASSHOLES means that it comes WITHOUT any CAPS on the downloads.
There is a petition against them regarding this “drastic announcement”. So far, the indications are that this doesn’t apply to the NCR region. Yet, it would be a BIG disaster if the policy gets into picture.
What the F*** is TRAI doing? Why are they sitting on their asses and not doing anything about it?
Correction. TRAI has NOT done anything about ANYTHING. I doubt whether the boffins would be “constrained” to act proactively.

I'm completely outraged about this stupid FUP. To show my anger, this is what I've done.
I've sent a mail to the following,
[email protected] (Sunil Mittal, Chairman), [email protected], [email protected] (CEO, Bharti Airtel), [email protected] (CEO, Bharti Telemedia, the subsidiary that offers broadband services)
The content of the mail is here - I blogged about it, so that others may know too.

If someone asks you how this FUP is really affecting anyone, use this example to clear all doubts.

Spread the word - Airtel better not get their success to their heads. Collectively we can bring them down to a level they deserve.
