A user’s opinion on MTNL Mumbai IPTV
We have not received much from users of the IPTV service recently launched by the MTNL (MAHANAGAR TELEPHONE NIGAM LIMITED).
But, a user on the India Broadband Forum posted a sort of a review on this service in Mumbai. One of the primary reasons the user went for the MTNL [...]
BSNL: Is it monopolised as per law?
I am seriously thinking of taking my complaint to Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commision. I am sick and tired of “representations”, mailing and “prostrating” before these bloody new age demi Gods, who feel that they have the divine right to hoard up bandwidth and give us such a [...]
Reliance Broadband: More delays
Ho hum. We all know about it right?
Well, it seems that Reliance is extending its launch date by another 3 months. They do have commercial services in couple of cities but that too in isolated pockets and in “test phaseâ€.
Initially, they are launching/planning to launch Pre Paid landlines. To me, this [...]

In a way, I have been wondering [...]
Mobile phone mania in India
Mobiles were initially started off as a lifestyle statement; with over priced calls and then the whole mobile landscape changed with the introduction of Calling Party Pays regime. With the entry of Reliance (and Tata’s), the mobile market has notched up significant gains. I would not call it as the “fastest [...]
BSNL- Highhandedness
It has been extremely unfortunate that BSNL is acting in a highhanded manner. Little realizing that its actions are causing enough headache and delay at the consumer end.
My fight has been to highlight BSNL’s monopolistic policies- either here on this website or in the Government circles.

Using ‘Broadband’ in India
Over the past few weeks, my life has been kind of topsy-turvy. I have always been the proverbial night owl; never seen the rising sun in ages. However, BSNL has changed my life to an extent. I wake up early mornings to be able to catch the “free timeâ€. Jokes apart, the [...]
