Hi Arun - Are they allowing new entrants to the areas with duopoly / triopoly ? How much foreign ownership is being allowed ? While almost every US government agency has some smart people ( with the possible exceptions of BATF, TSA, and EPA) smarter ones tend to be located in the military or science side : DARPA, Inteligence Agencies, NSF, NIH, NOAA etc. or the economic side that leans toward Wall Street : Treasury, Federal Reserve, OMB (but not FTC, FAA, DOT)

Arun, hiring smart people, then giving them a lobotomy doesn't make a great civil service. <2. Continue to protect the govt. owned company enough so that the two private companies do not destroy it.> Therein lies the problem. Until the government stops trying to run things, it'll be a luke-warm economic success, at best. All governments act as suffocatocracies, including the purportedly "free" USA, which is anything but. But some are less smothering than others. From what I read, India is only fiddling with freedom. Can money swoop in and out without reporting to anybody in a government department? I can click and move money here, in large dollops and tranches [though I'm sure our increasingly suffocating government will cancel that short-lived freedom - introduced in 1984] Mqurice
