[governance] Question on Ways of making Internet easier and richer for the End User in India

[Sivasubramanian M]

Hello,

The following article appeared in Economic Times. Posting it here for
discussion.

http://www.techgig.com/tech-news/editors-pick/What-stops-internet-access-from-being-cheaper-14403

The more fortunate among India's Internet Users have a 2 Mbps connection
with actual speeds averaging 512 Mbps with an average bandwidth cap  (in
gross, un-researched estimates) of about 5 Gb by wire or about 500 Mb
mobile.

As an end user, If I have to ask our phone companies to catch up with
Google fiber's 1 GIGAbps bandwidth with no caps at $ 70 per month, how
would I, as an end user, argue that such bandwidth plans would be viable
and more profitable?
