Feel bad that I can upvote you only once.

With India's definition of broadband still at 256kbps and they are 'aiming' to increase it to 2mbps by 2015, I would say the govt already has a lot on it's plate. More than it can deal with. They should just let someone else care about this kind of problems.

I is simply not true. 2 MBPS is _easily_ available for home connections from all the vendors, and is pretty popular plan.
You seem to have misunderstood. I did not mean the availability of speeds. I meant the definition as per TRAI. As per what I checked just now, TRAI's definition of "broadband" in India has been updated to 512kbps since Jan-2011.

According to Google, the page here http://www.trai.gov.in/broadbandpolicy.asp was updated/cached last in 2006 so maybe thats why it still says 256kbps
