Broadband to go free in 2 yrs

Re: Broadband to go free in 2 yrs
I have a question. BSNL has the worst support in broadband providers. Just wonder how it will be if they give broadband for free. I would stick to airtel/sify though BSNL give it for free at my house

Me too, I have lost faith in BSNL.   Airtel/Tata Indicom is much better.

Re: Broadband to go free in 2 yrs
Looks like another Joke from Indian Govt on Broadband. Will they please stop fooling around and be serious towards growing Broadband demands in India?

Re: Broadband to go free in 2 yrs
I guess he thinks the free connection might be sponsored by ads. tell you guyz no need being super happy, free does not mean unltd. We also get free calls on basic phones, do we not.

Re: Broadband to go free in 2 yrs
i think they will apply quota with connection!
minority 10%
backward cast 30%
very very back war cast 50%
remaining for politicians!
if any thing left than it would be for general
