I was reading a this thread about a petition against FUP but in my views, it is useless, we first need to find root cause and then work on it strategically (if its helps)..
We must need to find out what are the causes of high charges of internet bandwidth in India ..
(so without any research and just using my limited GK, I can think of following)
1. Limited International Bandwidth
Is it that ISPs in India are paying a lot for international backbone, because internet is all about connectivity, if we dont' have required bandwidth on international network, then we don't have internet. Do you know, Reliance Gio has laid its own international backbone to support is upcoming network.
2. Taxes, duties and fees :
Is that Govt. is indirectly causing all this pain in our @$$, just like Petrol price.. so much taxes and duties. It all over news that due to high spectrum prices, telecom company will increase charges..
3. Un-fair policies thus lesser competitions
Again its Govt. with their stupid policies, we are one of the hardest company in the world to do business.. foreign telecom players can't easily enter because of norms.. (remember MTS, they faced lots of trouble and they made 3G for dongle quite cheaper in India)..
4. Public Money Miss-use
Again this goes to Govt. , I am sure that planners and policy deciders at MTNL, BSNL those are funded by public money even when are in loss has nothing to do with profitability and hence they don't give damn to service, plans.. I see BSNL has everything yet nothing.. Plans are super stupid, they are always presented as if I am reading a periodic table and grouping elements (Plans) on their properties..
5. End of Monopolies
And why the hell in India we don't have multiple ADSL providers on same copper lines as we see in developed companies, just think if BSNL can allow to provide broadband over telephone line to N numbers of player, we will automatically get cheaper BB.. but no they wont. Airtel laid their own lines but only in few cities.
So, my opinion is that instead of blaming private players (those are here to do business and not charity) we should ask our Govt. for all this menace.. Still most of the bureaucrats in India can not do more than making and receiving calls from their phone, I see many those can't use phonebook yet sitting on high designation.
