Broadband players need to come forward

Hello friends I am again back to post a comment after a gap of nearly 1 year…I feel in order to really see the Broadband grow exponentially all the Broadband players need to come forward and form a consortium so that the common man is really benefited. In a country like China, everyone has an internet access by way of inexpensive means viz. Dial up/Cable Broadband but when we still look at India we are far away from those numbers why is it so??? All the vendors who offer CPE’s (Customer Premise Equipments) for this kind of services need to lower down their entry costs which would in turn be a direct benefit to the end user.

Also its high time that other means for Broadband access should be explored viz. PLC communications, Wireless etc which should be more affordable in real sense. Now also these kind of technologies are just limited to Urban/Metro areas and people in Villages who still struggle hard for Food/Shelter/Clothing are deprived of these benefits…

More and more user friendly schemes have to be planned particularly targeted at Village areas; may be any Broadband player can come forward and bundle the entire hardware along with their services so that in real sense Broadband policy could be seen benefiting the masses. In a nutshell its would be a joint effort from all the Telecom players as well as all the Telecom Equipment Manufacturers who can jointly come forward to make a mark like when they previously exploited the Analog/Digital voice and access requirements and with this all the villages saw a huge penetration of phones may it be Wireline or wireless..

Come-on operators come forward and do something it hightime to show the world that we too can do it.
