okay, I am just saying that I do want a company having a niche market, but not just a reseller, Well the thing is, Its more likely that and its a bit of over the line of thinking here but let me put it out, I want Hayai & think of it ( as all the people here in forum think) be a relief from those trynical mofos, But it would be hard for a company, it is resseling the thing Takeing from those people itself,
Hence It would been prudent that a company to be ITSELF specially since it is close to the customers ( with u interacting and all) and not just a small timer who these BIG ones can just ignore ( like they do with nivyah & tikona and all) for this a company needs ITS OWN INFRA ( i dont expect a startup to have a big one unless it is funded by the big one) but atleast have a strong hold before venturing in and only then company can be different otherwise it will be same players game...
so in line with that I am trying to know HAYAI 's own infra may it be CPE, OFC or any other thing, then only it can be a BIT reliable( most belief will come when I have the taste Test of the speed)
so in line with that what can you offer or could you ? I hope I am getting it clear and loud.

The fact that we have to roll-out services the way we are planning to should be a clue: we are building our own infrastructure, not leasing off of anyone else. As such, we're doing it a bit at a time, and in as manageable a fashion as possible.
I'm not sure why
Tata, Reliance and Airtel haven't banded together at least at the level of the last mile - together they could potentially give the government networks a run for their money in most cities as far as coverage is concerned, but as of now they all remain separate, which means that they aren't really competing with each other - because in most cases, only one or the other is available at your address.
For the rest of the ISPs in many cases they either have management arguing among themselves so decisions never get made, or they're just lazy. Or at the distribution level you have to deal with these cablewalas which are super-territorial by nature and unless you've got someone who can get them all to band together to converge for the greater good, you're not going to achieve ubiquitous coverage - instead you spend all your time convincing them not to take 50% of your revenue to supply your services or disrupt your services if they decide one morning that they want a 2% increase in your share of the revenue.
Completely buying out a cablewala isn't an option either - they either want too much money, or they'll sell the network, but build a new one, take all the customers and sabotage the old one (as has happened in Juhu and some other places). We're trying a slightly alternative route which keeps the cablewalas "interests" taken care of permanently so as to hopefully prevent them from sabotaging our (their) network and stealing our (their) customers or build a new network alongside an existing network which they already have a share in because, let's face it, that would be pointless, as they're still getting paid either way.
I don't think Airtel etc really "dismiss" players like Tikona or YOU - these companies suffer from similar problems at a level that would require all-new management with all-new thinking. They're basically companies owned by accountants. Tikona gave away 70% of the company for 700cr of seed capital and YOU is owned by a bank. Nivyah is just... well... all I'll say is that it has an interesting history and leave it at that.
All of this is why I'd so love to see either 1. A new open network built or 2. Existing network(s) opened up and/or shared. Or 3: both of the aforementioned. Then, every ISP has a platform to supply the same level of services, and you'd soon see the worst service providers disappear as customers migrate to better options.
Many houses are already supplied with 2 networks:
[*]One being the existing cable/
TV network, which could supply the super-high-speed broadband over DOCSIS 3.0 up to say 100mbit/s as well as supply the hundreds of TV channels as it does now;
[*]The other being an existing POTS network (usually the government player, at least) which could supply home phone and some form of DSL (
ADSL or VDSL subject to whatever is in the cabinet - potentially IPTV could be delivered over the same but that should only be available where VDSL is installed).
[/list]With this kind of coverage, any appropriately licensed provider should be able to offer their broadband/phone/tv services over the same set of cables, rendering coverage areas a non-issue and causing all players to have to actually compete for customers, as they currently do with DTH and Mobile services.
All this of course would be until an open fiber network replaces the lot with a singular cable and CPE as we are working on - the single cable/CPE can provide triple play services, and the beauty is that they can all be from different providers, so you could have, for example, Hayai Broadband, Airtel TV and Reliance Phone if you wanted, but the best value for money would probably involve taking a triple-play package from a single provider as it does overseas.
As far as international connectivity is concerned, unfortunately there is literally no choice there at this stage. As of now we wouldn't be allowed to build a new international cable, even if we had a spare $300 million. Perhaps later on this will become a possibility, but as of now it's not the case.
Does that answer the question?
