There have been readers over here claiming that the much advertised and it’s ilk with Incorporated doesn’t offer the “same speed” as promised.

One has to be completely naive to believe it. Truly. There are enough pussies who believe the dished out crap and once they realize that they have been “shortchanged”, these whine on these columns. I have to delete tonnes of crap piling up because of my prolonged absence from here.

I have been pushing for a community which is freely accessible. Yet, in the scheme of things, everything needs to be rationed. The only thing which is not is mercifully condoms which I believe, finds a lot of “reluctance” with the populace and explains the burgeoning population in the land.

A free community Wifi would definitely ease up the access. It would lead to content generation and perhaps new ideas. There can be ideas explored to fund it publicly or some driven model. has shown some way. Optic fiber is cheap. But there is institutional lethargy to implement new ideas. The existing apple cart would be sorely upset because the services are nationalized. But then, as I have repeatedly pointed out earlier, public money ought not to be spent on black holes like Employment Guarantee (NREGA) but where it matters the most.

It is a pathetic waste of for . The existing players have gobbled up, no new players have come in the market and there is a whiff of a huge telecom . Much larger in scope and extent than the current IPL hoopla.

We are like this only.
