Yes I tried to PM him but its disabled Kya hua usko. A very level headed chap. :blink3: Has a useful blog too.
BTW. The error on the regular MTNL website which said there is a rent of Rs 50/- for self owned modems has been corrected & now displays 'Nil' as before. For those who doubt what I have said about the old display which was visible yesterday. See this https://i.imgur.com/sIQQZ.jpg
Now mercifully both the regular & the Beta site display the correct info.
i really do not remember moderating any of his content in the recent times. he has not communicated to me anything from what i see. i had like to know what actually happened.
Yup, He is a problem solver for sure, unhappy to see him retired. Admin can you bring him back???? Don't know what the prob exactly is

I spoke to him a little while ago. (He is a busy guy) Will speak to him at leisure over the weekend to get him back. I know him well for many years. Infact he recommended this site to me

Good observation. When I spoke to Socrates some time back I came to know that he had sent an email to the ED (Mumbai) regarding this & even got a reply (on a sunday), after which it was rectified today & care seems to have been taken to to update the beta site correctly
Is it. Then we should thank him for his initiative for bringing it to their notice, at the highest level. It did give a jolt when I saw the insanity of charging rent for self owned CPE's. But alas his PM is still disabled. I hope he comes back.
:rofl: Now MTNL goes for the over kill by displaying this on their regular website now (Introduction)
From 01/07/2011MTNL charges Rs. 50 for Monthly Modem rental from all combo andunlimited plan customers who have taken modem from MTNL.No monthly CPE Rental for customers using their own modem..In selected Unlimited Plan MTNL is offeringmore Download Speed duing Night (10:00PM to 08:00 AM) and MTNL is alsooffering additional 25 monthly free calls to DSL_combo_249DSL_combo_500 &DSL_combo-B. New Customer in Unlimited and Combo plan who have notcompleted 6 months will not be charged monthly modem Rental howeverthey will be charged modem rental after completion of 6 months ofservice.
The red has been added by me to highlight it. This is over and above it being displayed below in point 'v' in the charges section on the same page. Looks like somebody got singed by Socrates ka mail to MTNL. Maybe we should call it the 'Socrates Effect' :rofl:
