    The Government should never have been allowed into the internet world. The internet has grown in India because of the intelligence and drive of its people. And BSNL has grown like termites bringing down a giant tree. Pray we keep these vermin out of other spheres of our economy. When our government competes with us and monopolises trade, we have banditry, not democracy. Fire the lot of them, and privatise the business, is what I say.
