Its much easier to compare ourselves with the down trodden. Makes reality easier to bear, doesn't it? Well that just doesn't help us move forward.
We have come all the way from being like an African nation to what we are now in just over 50 years. That's a really big achievement.
And now sverving on topic again...
If piracy (software/mp3/movies) is minimized, I think bandwidth usage will fall dramatically in India. Almost everyone I know uses P2P to download MP3s and movies. The only thing that will rule then is pr0n. Then again, even pr0n is illegal in India ;)
We'll never be satisfied with what we have. Once you use 64kbps, dialup seems slow. After 128 kbps, 64kbps will seem slow. A friend who came back from the US finds his 512 kbps TriBand package as "meh... I've gotta adjust I guess" after surfing on T1/DSL lines there.
For all _legal_ purposes what we have right now (256kbps max) is good enough. I can wait for a day for my ISO today. Some day in the future I may find it hard to wait for an hour ;)
DAMN THIS 128 GBPS LINE!!! IT'S TOO SLOWWW!!!!!!1111
