More on Mr Maran's delusion.

I wonder whether the Minister knows that Korea Telecom charges 30,000 Won (Rs 1,310) for a 4Mbps ADSL connection if there is no long-term contract. For a 3-year contract, the cost drops to 25,500 Won (Rs 1,112). There are no download caps, at least on the KT site.

What does MTNL give us for Rs 1,199? Let's see...oh great! 256Kbps and a data transfer cap of 1.25GB. What about BSNL? Okay, you get a 384Kbps connection with a 2GB data cap for Rs 1,000. Sound better than MTNL, at least!

We have a long way to go before we can even consider the possibility of catching up. Ever.
