You could solve this problem if the govt provides more spectrum to the telco companies and in turn ask them to subsidize it to the poor. In this day and age, its not tough to do it. Just because it's tough, you would not want to accept some unfair offering.

So why is it not being done? From my previous life spent in India, government subsidies are guaranteed income for politically connected.
