I actually read up the Whole National Broadband policy doc and also the consultation replies to TRAI given by various operators and there are to many probs. in that.
:notallowed:Firstly by reading the text u will find that they have over emphasized on providing Broadband to Village people. Some 50,000 cr. of 60k is to be spent on that alone. I dont really think that such a thing would be feasible. I cannot expect a company like Reliance or airtel to provide BB to a large village with 10k people at least in the next 5 years. If USA is grappling with this problem(poor connectivity to villages) India should even not think of it. Just the poor state of BB in tier 2-3 cities is enough to tell the story. Still people in villages have no access to basic things like Electricity, leave alone a PC or even a cyber cafe. I think the govt. is rather interested in setting up its administrative machinery with this network, though commendable can be more easily done with wireless techs.:thumb:the good part is that it recommends setting up of an national optic fiber company which everyone can lease. If you read the consulation paper replies by Tata and reliance they have opposes this ( clearly bcoz it will make their existing OFC non competitive).
It has particularly remained silent on Intl BW. Again if u read consultation papers of Tata and bharti they have said to even the extent that intl BW prices are very cheap in India compared o Japan(which ironically has the cheapest per Mbps PPP rate) , they have even written that USA-Europe should not be considered bcoz of diff. characteristics (huge no. of players not to mention). It clearly states that they want their monopoly over this intl. traffic business. New entrants have been rather slow and this three want to completely utilize this situation.:thumb:Again the good Local loop Bundling will take perhaps this time unlike 2004 BB policy. Finally we can expect Tata internet on BSNL's copper line. Bsnl off course said that our loops are fully utilized,poor quality blah blah. Hope Govt. does not listens to them.:clap:One major change is perhaps the uni vocal demand for local content. everyone has said we need to have more Data servers thus local content and no need for intl. submarine lines.
