B'coz their management lives in the ice age Their thinking is frozen :) > Rs.199 for a 400 MB makes Mumbai the only area in town where the > public phone company gives a sub-1GB cap for ~Rs. 200.

MTNL Mumbai is the only ISP that has yet to offer a true unlimited plan for the residential customers. AirTel has unlimited plans but only in parts of the city. MTNL/Delhi (like BSNL across the country) offers 256/256 Kbps unlimited but at a higher tariff compared to BSNL. I asked the Mumbai babus about the differences in Delhi/Mumbai unlimited plans and was told that an unlimited plan, in Mumbai, would be abused! Go figure that one. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
