For how many more years will India plan to remain on 2 mbps speeds? World is moving on to 20 mpbs now. As usual we always play catch up but never catch on.Proper infrastructure overhaul is needed to increase speed capacity along with last mile wiring.

Broadband may soon get cheaper
Broadband may soon get cheaper - The Economic Times
Broadband access and usage may become more affordable as the government is likely to review duties levied on inputs and finished products used in providing broadband and internet services, Modems and routers used for internet and broadband may also become cheaper as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) recommended 100% depreciation in the first year. On Wednesday, Indian telecom regulator issued recommendations on the national broadband plan aiming at inclusive growth, easy access to high speed data and increase broadband penetration in the country. The Indian government would spend around Rs 60,000 crore on setting up the broadband network as a loan to be financed by USO fund. A target of providing 75 million broadband connections has been kept by 2012 and 160 million broadband connections by the year 2014. The optical fibre network would support huge bandwidth requirement for provision of broadband and facilitate broadband growth. TRAI feels this would increase GDP growth as the recommendations quote a study highlighting a 1.38% increase in the per capita GDP growth in developing economies with 10% increase in broadband penetration.

neh. these are real developments that are taking place now. now that they have pretty much sorted out the mobile market, they are targeting the broadband market. 
even though they have left DTH and CAS in a huge mess.

Broadband connection may be defined as
“A data connection using any technology that is able to support interactive services including Internet access and support minimum download speed of 512 Kilo bits per second (Kbps)”. It is to be noted that the upload speed will atleast be half the download speed.

So, from January 1, 2011, none of the providers can call 256 Kbps as broadband. Finally. Still, they could have made it 1 Mbps, that would have brought 2 Mbps plans that go to 1 Mbps after fair usage policy. Guess there is no point in Airtel forcing customers to switch to the impatience 'broadband' plans anymore.
