what do make of a recent announcement

Hey Abhishek, what do make of a recent announcement in Chennai by Minister Maran that broadband now, i.e., from January 2007 will be truly fast and we should now say goodbye to speeds of 256 kbps and look forward to 512 kbps and more. Nothing in life is ever going to be free, but as a consumer i would say as long as the service is good and reliable and the charges reasonable(who decides that???) we should not be too pessimistic about the issue. You never know you might get someone a la what Laloo has done with the Railways.
Just a thought.
