quote from the article
The reason high Internet prices coexist alongside an oversupply of international bandwidth in India is that just three companies control the infrastructure to sell it
--VSNL (owned by the Tata Group), Bharti Airtel and Reliance Globalcom.
These three companies are the only ones that operate \\"landing stations\\" (state-owned BSNL operates one, too, but for a cable connecting India to Sri-Lanka alone)
Even though Supply of bandwidth is lot more than the demand, these 3 big bullies are controlling the prices.
Another quite from the article
The reason bandwidth prices will come down, feels Bedi, is the entry of global telecom players like AT&T, Cable & Wireless and BT into the bandwidth resale market in India. But the very same companies were also reported to be complaining about high wholesale bandwidth prices to TRAI in December 2009, asking for some form of price regulation.
Wish Trai acts on this fast :wall:
