arun/slacker,

Even at 2.40 rupees for a 3 minute call, the per minute price would still be 60% less than a cellular call at 2 rupees per minute.

Any idea how long a decision of an appeal to the Supreme Court would take the cellular operators?

The longer the better as far as I'm concerned since WLL will continue to be rolled out

A penny a minute + Rs 500 ($10)/month phone rental. And the subscriber puts up about Rs 5000 in deposit before getting the phone. That's the typical arrangement.

I'm just kind of looking at the penny a minute. Let's say they break-even at that price in terms of service.....wouldnt this put the operator in the odd position of NOT wanting to encourage usage?
