Personal Rants on Broadband Blog?

I was wondering whether these blog entries have gone personal. I mean, there is much more reference to the word “I” all along the entries so far.

Yet, I feel that I write from a user’s perspective. That is an Eternal Wait for Decent Telecom in India

On a personal note, the blog may take time to get updated. I found a job in a nearby place and plan to relocate. It makes a good career move. I should be online as soon as possible, courtesy BSNL ; if and when they shift my telephone line. Infact, I was in a fix whether or not to take their broadband services. The stupid 1 Gig limit gets me square. As usual, I hope that the planned tarriff revision this weekend would go underway and we could see some real changes. The international leased line prices have been deferred till the 1st of May. In all, this remains a big muddle.

Till then, I hope that Sushubh would take over.

More on VSNL

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.
