Nowadays even beggars don't even accept 0.50 ps if offered, they throw it on the face of the offeror. But, our telecom industry battle has reached its feverish pitch. Now, an indian in Kanyakumari can speak to his fellow Indian in Kahmir at the rate of 0.01 ps per second Unbeleivable isn't it? This is another branch of our ever growing India story.
To make the battle fiercer TRAI has recommended slashing down SMS tariff bringing more heartburns to the giants in the industry. Already most of the telcos stock have plummeted in the stock market fearing a dip in the profits. Slashing down SMS tariff would come as a last straw on the camel's back.
Consumerism, atleast for the namesake is alive in this industry. Come january 1, 2010 Indian consumer is going to benefit by way of mobile number portability(MNP) one thing for sure the telecom market is definetely going to witness a shakeout . The new operators are the first beneficiaries.
Hey! someone is crooning the song 'WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE" Helo anybody there.
