It is really possible I'm afraid. We have a big population and that's = big money. Not hard to convince our political class I feel. But I really do not know, with mp3 CDs being sold in the open, how much impact will traffic shaping or other filtering have. The roadside fellow's pirated mp3 business will increase , just like its happening for novels.
I don't listen to much music, so it won't affect me. As long as they don't clamp down on downloading Linux distros I'm cool.

ya may be true that they could buy politicians.. but ISP`s wont take the bait... controlling indian internet( young individuals mostly) would be a disaster...
i dont think they will risk this kinda thing..
control todays internet in india = disaster waiting
many will simply switch isp or turn the old age black market to ge wht they want...

There is a strong possibility of this happening in India also because we ape british and US systems the most.
