pb,
yes, he is full of ideas.But in india you have to over come 100 hurdles to get an idea implemented, that is where you will be tested.let's c how he fares.
 
>> Karnataka is implementing the panchayat raj

i am hearing the same story for long time. I will be happy if they implement it. But I doubt that.

>>a flat rate for STD and local calls

already the time for a local call has been reduced from 180 secs to 90 secs. In the name of flat rate they will increase the local call charges. i beleive lot of ppl in india use local calls than STD calls. i think its better to reduce the local rates or make unlimited local calling.

From the article,
>> Recently, the department of telecommunications (DOT) announced that intra-state calls in four states—Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh—would be treated as local calls.
This is only for mobile phones not landlines. it is implementation in the other circles. Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh had multiple telecom circles for mobile phones. they made a rule that intra state mobile calls are local not the actual landline phones.

Maran performing minister - what a joke. only hype nothing in substance. He is directly opposite to his low profile father murasoli maran. what he has done afer he become a communications minister to call him as performing minister ?
