What would reasonable people do, dump cleaner chemicals, or avoid dumping chemicals at all (within reason, being reasonable people)? Having said which, yes, it is true that costs are much lower nowadays, and less infrastructure is needed as well. These are good points to consider when devising more effective tactics for local infrastructure developers/development, which is, imho, the only valuable way to ensure local buy-in and widespread dissemination of the benefits, which build on information sharing. The IL&FS plan banks upon future money savings from the use of government 'services' by end-users, which is not far from the kind of philosophy that argues that 'piracy' destroys future revenue flows, and then enumerates those mythical flows. It doesn't take higher education to see the flaw in that argument. -- Vickram http://communicall.wordpress.com
