*telecomtalk.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Corrigendum-for-Internet-Services-Under-Unified-Licence-notified-by-the-DoT.png?027c52
Using the internet may become up to 30 per cent costlier as the Department of Telecom issued corrigendum
to the new telecom licences agreement bringing revenue from these services under its cess net.

As per the initial version of the Unified Licence on August 2,
DoT had exempted internet services revenue from adjusted gross revenue (AGR) --
part of telecom company's earnings on which annual licence fee is levied.

Under the new licences, telecom operators (including Internet Services Providers) will
have to pay uniform licence fee of 8% annually on AGR.
The Internet Service Providers Association of India has warned the step would lead to hike in consumer rates by up to 30%.


Petrol, diesel, gas, gold, house hold items, commodities & now Internet:twisted:

Like its not already expensive.When prices should go down they are going up.Cheap internet access to everyone is a basic human right in some countries.In India even food and water is not considered a basic human right as millions of people have to access to them.**** this all.**** this all.India is done.

The govt. may be doing this to reduce internet penetration to keep information out of peoples hands and to make them keep voting for them and also subsidize bills like FSB.

In the world when Internet is becoming faster,Here In India it stays the same but price increase :|.
God knows which economy law to apply here
All laws will be proved wrong

I call it the Law of TRAI "No matter how much the price increase,the speed and demand will remain the same"

Saudi Arabia. They have the fastest net connection at cheaper rates. Almost 70% of football related videos on youtube are uploaded by them. Perhaps this applies to other categories too.

It's kinda funny that people saying we ll leave country on account of increase in INTERNET pricing.
But when other shortcomings of the govt is exposed, nobody is willing to take action. :D

You guys are sitting on a well connected forum. A community, atleast try to think and make use of it. Turning turncoat will lead you nowhere.

^+1. I can live with GPRS. I only need to stay connected. I certainly want a 2 MBPS unlimited connection, but not a necessity. Do you guys realise fuel prices have increased 8 times since Jan 2013? (It was also cut thrice). Food and other commodities have also increased significantly. I don't think Broadband rates need be a reason to leave our country. I understand you guys are only kidding, but still hurts.

Can't leave India guys.. they asked why need passport, I gave them reason, said.. Passport application denied ;)



Alright.. Jokes apart,
Actually we are the problem, we choose wrong people , give power to wrong people and then suffer. You see , most of so called INFORMED people never vote because they don't find anyone suitable and most of the voters are actually from villages or remote areas and primarily votes on the basis of religion / region .. :(

And when we have wrong people, what we get :
1. Remember Lokpal bill, First Govt. made us fool, then opposition made us fool and in the END.. Babaji ka Ghanta. . If you see all drama made by these politician, its clearly evident, OPPOSITION + GOVT both are united , they only fight for seat but not for Janta.

2. Recently, Govt. reverted HC order where candidate is not allowed to contest election on criminal ground.. Bill was presented and every one noded YES.. be it opposition or one in power.

3. Right to Reject.. : Could have changed India's political scenerio but no one wants it.

Sorry.. not able to recall, but there were many things where actually we are at mistake, even small things, we can change world.. but we never bother .. you know, if at Govt. offices, every one even starts making complaint to right person, things can change a lot.. but hardly less than only one in 1000 do this and that goes waste..

So be it INTERNET or anything, we need to take action..
What do you see.. make a POLITICAL party from TDF members and have representative from each city ..
Lets change the world..

How many are IN ?
