What happened to TRAI's national broadband plan?

[sTrOnTiaBOnd]

They were supposed to redefine bb as 512k speeds.Next year i think that the min speeds would be 2mbps.,yeah right. :Olympic:
ps:admin i wanted to post this in the india bb forums but that forum does not exist

fuck dude i don't see it happening anytime soon you know how sarkari stuff works in our country bt ppl get lucky in some cases..
in some places private companies are asking for 1500 for 2mbps connection and it has a fucking FUP on it..
u need to get your connection disconnected AND switch to reliance wireline if it's avail in ur area..

lol. 2mbps i believe has to be implemented before 2015. we can only hope that they implement 512kbps by then.

Post FUP speed should be 4 mbps minimum, that too is slow compared to other countries

 

[Sushubh]

What countries? How many countries have you studied? Or are you just focused on the few countries which have actually got their shit right? Most countries have terrible speeds. Even the developed ones.

They are still TRAIing :laugh:

If TRAI goes as per its promise, and increases post FUP speed to 2 mbps, then it would surely have a positive effect on broadband pricing in India. Broadband plans would become much cheaper

We need to understand difference between Guideline/Recommendation and Mandate/Circular.
Authority like TRAI hardly make any mandate with exceptions such as banning certain operator in circle or cancelling license. The reason is they get hell lot of money out of this.
Guideline is something that should be done, like 3G/4G implementation based on feasibility. This hardly earns any money for them.
As per this http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/Recommendation/Documents/Rcommendation81210.pdf document National Internet Plan is 'Recommendation' so just wait for it as everything takes its own course of time in India to get certain recommendation implement. Few years back we were having 128-256 kbps as broadband and now things are improving slowly.
I went to the whole document which says about speed, coverage and quality; nothing about Fair Usage or Bandwidth per user which is more important. There are 3G/Fiber plans with good speed but either they are expensive for high volume of data or got damn FUP with critically low data usage.

512 kbps - feasible. The problem here is that NTP 2012 recommendations club both wired broadband and mobile together. Although the recommendations for wired can be easily implemented they are tied down by all the disagreements in recommendations in mobile domain. Also 2g scam did not help. As far as 2 mbps as BB definition is concerned I think all the unlimited plans would go away or the 256 kbps fup would remain and broadband plans would drop the word "broadband" from them.

Hope this 2 mbps post fup thing comes ASAP because I'm tired of using smartbytes and SOD after I cross my FUP.
