Raja keeps on playing a different tune every time he gets in a hissy fit and throws up. He has changed over the existing guidelines for 3G licences and instead of expected 5-10 different operators in each circle, we would be seeing the same old faces. Though, the licences would be bid sky high and the initial prices would be through the roof.

3G is expected because of the “faster speeds” to access online. The current crop of GPRS providers sucks like a fly sitting on a pile of shit. Most of the operators are milking it to the hilt because there are no “established standards”.

Madmoron and his team have no control over the rampaging idiot called as Raja; the public exchequer has already borne the brunt of his mad policies while his swiss bank accounts would have multiplied manifold.

I rarely make any political statements from this “telecom oriented” blog. But what we have seen unfold in front of us has been unimaginable. It seems that we would be forced to live with this assinine crap for the time till the Congress is in power.

It was during the BJP rule that the muslim terrorists sleeper cells were smashed and the SIMI assholes were forced to go underground. Their rule was marked by stabilisation of the prices and growth in stature of India on the world stage. I remember distinctly, after the attack on Parliament, BJP crushed the “movement” with an iron hand. I strongly believe that they should have shot down the frigging fornicating idiots populating India every second despite the stiff opposition from the breast beating secularists.

Nothing could be more worrisome than the attack by sea revealing our vulnerability. There is something really fishy about the fact that the intelligence inputs concerning an attack of such magnitude was under wraps for such a long time. It would have taken months to plan and execute with the active involvement of the locals. All it takes is the iron hand of the rulers to crush down the anti nationals (and anti Hindus) to bring about some semblance of peace.

Given the current scenario, I am actually looking forward for a change of the government; evicting out the likes of Madmoron and his protege’ Maino who is wreaking havoc on this nation. Sadly, the leftist media is actively assisting the powers that be in their nefarious designs.

My heart goes out to the brave NSG commandos who were matyred in the action against the frigging f***ing unwanted bastards who dared raise their ugly head against this nation. Interestingly, the likes of Raj Thackeray were left whimpering in some dark alley or corner without coming out in the open to take on the ones who had come to “his little fiefdom”.

I hope that one day it would be the victory of truth alone.

Satyameva Jayate.

I was never impressed by American democracy; although it remains a land of milk gold and honey (and for some oversexed women), I disgress. In the same vein, it wasn’t a tectonic shift when the first African American (with a muslim middle name) got elected to their presidency. Atleast for me. It only goes to prove the truth about packaging. If you buy the well sold package, you’d end up in a honey trap.

In the same vein, all eyes are on the announcement for the new FCC chairperson. Why should that matter? For more than one reason, the Broadband scence in US is almost similar to India. We have telcos who are full of sloth, greedy and have a pathetic service to boot. Although, the customers get Mbps speeds, they are constrained by the download limits and the services are damned expensive.

Companies like Google are betting up on opening up the airwaves; they bought huge swathes of spectrum recently in order to run free Wifi services. There is a lot of advocacy for the “community groups”- the traditional conservative middle America full of gun totting rednecks who have never been exposed to the outside world throughout their lives. There is a strong grassroots movement to fund the opening up of the “last mile” access and literally open up the world for them.

I cannot fathom the same movement to open up the airwaves here. Neither I see any degree of urgency here. Despite the headquarters of the telecom exchanges here, we are still to see a large part of Delhi getting lit up by optic fibre reaching the customers.

It would be interesting to catch up with the “american model” of broadband access for Indian scenario. Although, the customers there in US are very vocal about the quality of services that they get here, most of the people would rather accept the status quo and let the telecom companies and the cable providers to screw them royally. Much of the times, the customer are without any choice.

I would be all out for a dedicated free service like WiMax which is community funded. It would be impossible to shut out the freeloaders who would switch on their torrents to dowload porn but in a given society, there are enough rotten apples. But then, this should not deter us from accepting the reality and not do anything about it.

It also means the change in computing habits; to invest for WiMax recievers and wiring the whole thing to make it work for the populace. It’s about change and till the time we dont realise the gravity of situaton to be in the “dark”, we’d be doomed for the demands of knowledge based economy.

I am seriously hoping for a change in the Government and appointment of someone who realises the importance of free and fair Internet access.
