Ah, so your concern, Ratnendra, is for the telcos --the oligopolists who
for years tried to peddle us their closed gardens without success. The
onlyhalfway successful innovation they introduced was downloadable
ringtones. I don't lose sleep over protecting their interests. These are
the people responsible for India having a joke of a broadband, among many
sins.

And the analogy is terrible. Interconnect charges are a nonsense the telcos
and their lawyers thought up -- this isn't a real cost.
