If you want to see any real improvements, you will have to bypass the telecom operators.
Whys that? How are the telcos hurdles in this? What about providers like 7star / Reliance Powersurfer which have ethernet networks?
Oh, bandwidth prices are fairly low. They just don't want to provide end users with low cost bandwidth, because a lot of people would move away from dedicated circuits (or would demand and enforce SLAs at the same price).
Exactly how low are they? Where will I get more info on how an ISP operates? Are the prices of international bandwidth available freely over the internet?? Google didn't help much.
