still no 2mbps unlimited available-- but Why???

i've been wondering what is the real reason behind the unwillingness of any company offering unlimited 2mbps connections???i personally think it is because of two reasons--1--they do not care enough about domestic consumers as they make plenty of money selling bandwidth to corporates, call centeres etc 2--cuz they are a little scared that if they do giv unlimited 2mbps connections then it will become very easy for smaller players to resell their connections under a lan setup like sify. here the speed will be shared between the users but if they keep 1:8 to 1:10 connection to user ratio they can easily gurantee min 256kbps speeds to all consumers at all times of the day and upto 2mbps!the second theory might seem a little too far fetched but i think charging Rs300 for these connections can be a very successful business model as the demand for such connections is also very much there from less wired segment of the market.(or the 'email readers')as far as mtnl and bsnl go they will upgrade their unlimited accounts to 2mbps the next day after somebody like airtel announces 2mbps unlimited(or alternately if a minister really wants to make a impression.. so i could have expected something like that from maran but not this new mantri)what do u think is the reason?

holy shit!

Yes, I'm sure. If I was tackling piracy, that's what I would do. I would pay ISPs under the table to forego profits and not expand so that the odd torrent savvy person downloading the latest divx release of the season finale of Heroes takes 5 hours instead of 1..... I mean it's not like we have one place which the police can raid where hundreds of scummy shopkeepers sell pirated movies / ps2 games / computer software or anything like that.

I'll go with Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5. Well the thing is the govt. is milking profits from the corporate sector and not from consumer broadband sector... So its least likely they'll take us into consideration.. Secondly I doubt if they (private/govt. ISP's) have enough global bandwidth to cater to the consumer sector.. Maybe you can put it this way.. Do they have enough network infrastructure (Fiber and Copper lines, Servers etc..) ? Thirdly its the small businessmen who start their own ISP business with this plan.. like what a local cablewala in my city does.. He buys Internet connection from TATA Indicom and shares it to the locality charging 50 paise an hour... So these things could hurt the growth of broadband... There is also not much demand for increasing the speeds or the limits apart from downloading demons like us... Many don't even know that movies/mp3 can be downloaded from websites.. So I don't think its wise for the cine industry to tip off the ISP's to stop piracy... 😉 Well if thts the case the ISP would loose a major chunk of his customers.. which will cripple his business... And again be it ISP's or end users they are satisfied with the existing 256kbps connections.. A guy near my house never uses the net during daytime and heez opted for 256kbps unlimited plan... Whts the use? 🙂 PS: Views may differ, all ppl specified here are examples and may be exceptions... I didn't know how to type a disclaimer better than this one.. 😛

i would say, its to protect morals in India from being corrupted by those filthy foreigners 😛
