last time i heard vsnl was not owned by the government. and i doubt you can sue private companies for following anything unless they are a monopoly.

Hmm? Companies can be prosecuted for monopolising the market and following unfair trade practices. Thats just what VSNL is doing by keeping the prices higher for others while offering equivalent services at a lower cost but at a higher profit margin 😕

i mentioned the monopoly part. and VSNL is not a monopoly. i believe both bharti and reliance have their internatioal gateways.

They don't own gateways. They hae to buy connectivity from VSNL / Reliance.

eh? Are you delusional? Internationally the "data transfer" doesnt cost. You are charged by speed and _not_ volume...

maybe he is from the old society... they are still happy with dialup.

 

[kingkrool]

Well that all had to do with a business model... basically they save costs on billing, logistics and planning by assuming (and charging) a fixed cost for each user.

Indian economy better then USA??

It will have to keep growing at 8% for 30 more years to do that in terms of GDP. Assuming that USA grows at just 2% per year.

And the history so far...



http://www.rediff.com/money/2003/oct/13shyam.htm

Doing better in what terms? GDP, Money spent on Primary Educational, Trade Balance, Money spent on social security

Or lets see it from a comman man's point of view.

Lets assume an average employee in India earns 20k per month (and that's way too generous then actual figure). And lets assume average employee in US makes $ 2k per month (actual figure is $37k per annum).

In India it will take 6 years for to buy a Toyota Corolla (Manufactured in India), In US it will take 1 Year (Imported from elsewhere).

Based on that calculate, how much education a normal person can afford, how much fuel a normal person can afford, how much food a normal person can afford and so on.....

Being Indian, none of these things are pleasent to think or talk about, but saying otherwise will be lying.

 

[Sushubh]

well the way things are right now, it gives me more security being an indian than an american.

 

[netfreak]

We are talking about economy here. Not about security.....

 

[Sushubh]

i am talking about financial security. not the kind of security which relates to khoon kharaba.
