For those of you who live in small towns where BSNL is the only broadband service provider. Were you also appalled by Preity Zinta endorsing BSNL landlines while 4.4 million of those have been surrendered by un-happy users in past 2 years.

According to me BSNL is a not so pretty(pun intended) speed bump on the road to information Super Highway in India. I agree with Atanu's advice to BSNL

* get rid of all restrictions on Internet telephony, the killer app for the illiterate and poor.
* stop censoring the Internet, and restricting the use of technologies such as encryption
* take action against those sending spam from India
* allow the nation to have a truly independent regulator, with genuine teeth
