Now launched: Andhra Pradesh Govt plans 15 Mbps broadband service at Rs 150/month

To be critically correct, Mr. Naidu is copying lot of already announced schemes of TS government and central government and creating huf puf air that those are his initiatives. We'll see in future, who does what and how the words will be converted to reality.
Yeah, Naidu copied everything. He's useless guy, He's Incompetent and TS has developed a lot in last 8 months which took narendra modi 12 years in Gujrat & Babu's 9 years.. TS will now get 10mbps for free and 100mbps for 100Rupees & 1Gbps for Rs.1000. Array full bottle leke aa re farm house ku. Tomorrow new day dream again.

doesnt really matter as long as people are profited. its a healthy competition is a good thing. In fact every other state should copy these things.
 
I dont understand why govt doesnt simply pump in some money and increase the capacity 10x to major cities and internationally and let private players do the last mile connectivity. I mean, it will only increase the pace of technology sector and inturn get more revenue. Its like electricity, if you have restricted supply, shops will be limited and then you wont have sales which will reduce taxes and same cycle repeats.
 
He is just a gimmick guy, just uses everything for his PR facade. Never believe him

He is probably the only politician that I know in India who has completed or at least put his best efforts to the extent of his ability and power in order to deliver on whatever he promised. Hyderabad would still be piss hole of a place still struck in the 1950's if not for this guy. People probably would not even have decent internet access leave alone any IT companies. Back in the late 90's, even places like Guntur had broadband connections before Hyderabad had any semblance of getting decent dial up internet options. Hyderabad was developed thanks to the efforts of CBN. Also, most of Modi's ideas for Gujarat when he was CM were based on CBN's ideas the same holds now as well.

The only reason KCR is even visible to people in TS today is because CBN is in power in AP. He really hoped that Jagan would win and that they can loot their respective states. Since CBN came into power, KCR has to be on his toes at least for show, otherwise comparisons would be made and KCR would risk loosing his chair. KCR was simply an opportunist who saw how Hyderabad was being developed and decided to claim it for himself by dividing people and inciting trouble.

Since the project is actually under the control of the Central Govt, the chances of Proper utilization of the project is very Good.
I am sure even TN would go for the same model, connect it to the existing Arasu network?
 
I said that coz I personally know atleast 2 public representatives of his core team
Let me say that as a student of the first batch of IIIT-H, I once had the pleasure of meeting and talking to him in first person. He appeared to be a cogent, intelligent and nice man from the little interaction we students had. Let me also say that IIIT-H wouldn't exist if not for him.
He is probably one of the handful of politicians I respect.
 
I remember back in 2000s or late 90s ,it was Hyderbad vs bangalore in development or Chandra Babu Naidu vs S.M krishna.The media and the magazines used to call CBN as the number 1 chief minister.

The Jagan mohan reddy and the reddy brothers and their family just looted both karnataka and A.P.
 
To be honest, we need more peering, and data centres in India. What most people dont realize is that they can get 1 Gbps speeds here with regional data centres and high speed peering.

As for the guy who is criticizing CBN, go ahead. Each one to his own. But I feel that he has done way better stuff than his peers in I.T.
 
I am greatly offended by your remarks on Hyderabad, fu_k kcr fu_k cbn, mind your language before bull shitting. Don't start a war over here

I don't really care what you think. Delusional people always find some excuse to get offended when they come face to face with the truth. If truth makes you uncomfortable, shut off your ears with wax go back and hide under the rock or in the well where you came from for all I care.

Anybody who has been in or seen Hyderabad like me for last 15 years knows very well how there was nothing here to show as a city except for empty barren lands, rocks and aged buildings. It was as if time stopped for the city and it remained in the 50's or 60's.

Back in 1997/98, when smaller secondary cities like Guntur had telephone connections being provided in 24 hours and dial up internet connections available for many and 3 or 4 cyber cafes in every street, Hyderabad literally had nothing. By 2000, Fiber optic broadband connections started becoming available for home use in Guntur. My friend actually had subscribed to a broadband connection (1 Mbps peak) there. Even the cost of real estate was dirt cheap in Hyderabad since the land was mostly useless for any purpose (It is still to this very day way cheaper than many cities and towns in AP and in some cases even TS). In fact except for the fact that land was cheap, Hyderabad had nothing going for it for the development of IT. Guntur/Vijayawada belt was already 6 years ahead in IT and Telecom Infrastructure as well as had some of the best private Engineering colleges.

It was thanks to CBN that he choose to develop Hyderabad for IT and encouraged Andhra people and others alike to invest in Hyderabad. He even coerced investors who wanted to go to various other places in AP to instead invest in Hyderabad. It is because of this fact that Hyderabad transformed from the piss hole that it was 15 years ago to what you see today. Even 10 years back, the area where I live was like it was in the middle of no where. Now it is a concrete jungle buzzing with people and vehicles.

Can u provide your source of information? If no stfu. I am staying in Hyderabad from my birth and so did father and his father... We had telephone connection when I was 5 and we are not rich. Hyderabad had strom water drain and exclusive power plant (just for example) before India got independence. You want source I will give you, can u give source of your information. You lived in hyderabad from last 15 years and your guntur was better than it, so why did stay back, because there were things which your guntur didn't have - INFRASTRUCTURE.
 
^^LOL.. The longer people like you talk with your head deep up your behind, the longer you publicize your ignorance and idiocy to the entire world.

All right, if you are so keen on showing proof to contract me, show me proof that that you or any body else that you know got your phone connection from DOT (now known as BSNL) within 24 Hours after applying it in any year prior to 2000. Show me proof that you had internet connectivity and access to multiple ISPs like VSNL, Sify, Netlinx etc.

If you show your proof, I will post details of my DOT land line connection which I got within 24 hours of applying and also VSNL Internet connection from when I was living in Guntur while doing my Engg. I also have the receipt for the modem lying around somewhere.

I don't remember talking about storm drain anywhere in my post so, explain to me again how its related to Telecom and IT infrastructure.

Hyderabad didn't have decent IT and Telecom infrastructure even 10 years back. It was only after Hi-tech city was built and completed that Hyderabad really began to develop.

If Hyderabad had such great infrastructure, explain to me why real estate is so dirt cheap in and around Hyderabad even to this day. For instance, Bangalore which had great IT and Telecom Infrastructure and developed as an IT hub is so costly. In fact, It is actually cheaper to buy land in Hyderabad than some in AP region or Rest of India.

Lastly, I can choose to live where ever I want in this country and for whatever reason. My tax money is used to develop cities like Hyderabad. So, it is none of your damned business to question where I choose to live.
 
Looks like the dude is going back everytime listening to speeches of KCR and Posting here. "We had Nizam here who had all the infrastructure setup before Naidu." Lol :hilarious:

Hopefully Andhra should force all states to start similar kind of High Speed Internet operations, @Lord Nemesis Lets end the political discussion here and Wait for more 18 months for AP to do what they are promising by then TS will start acting with already built infrastructure in Cities like Hyderabad, Sangareddy,Warangal, Nizambad and Karimnagar

Problem is similar promises have been made in the past (though not by CBN). Remember Vajpayee's national broadband plan. And, the even grander AP Broadband plan with Dr. Raja Reddy as one of the promoters, when Rajasekhar Reddy was CM; the promise at that time was 100Mbps at 100Rs a month. It makes me smile when I recall my first reaction to that news - it was that "I need more storage"!
Let's hope things will be moving on the ground this time!

peering what?illegal movies ,tv shows and games from torrent websites and HD porn?
I doubt govt will support that....:D
90% of bandwidth consumed by us(read:me) is on this and youtube...

Peering not only for torrents, but development of regional data centres as well. Right now, if I get any content, it goes to US mostly, because its cheaper and much reliable for hosting. We need similar stuff here. And they should be connected to NIXI

From the ISP end, its a bit technical - each of the ISPs needs to maintain separate routes for India specific ASNs so they can route traffic with higher speeds - increased complexity. Another problem is that the ISP has to upgrade his infrastructure for the same - as an example, my cablewallah ISP uses 10/100 Mbps switches, while Fivenet uses 10/100/1000 ie Gigabit ones, plus would need better routing equipment.

For the consumer, imagine that you get high speeds on torrents - now imagine the same for websites, tv on demand, movies on demand, music on demand - it is an ecosystem that content providers could use [Google already does this, at least for me, I get speeds upto 1 MBps]. Of course, it goes without saying that costs (movies/music) too should be VFM & timely so people do not resort to piracy.

Also, one must not confuse this with net neutrality unless the routing equipment is specifically prioritizing commercial traffic & charging on content basis.

Airtel and Tata could stand to lose some money, but in the long term, it should not affect them too much, since peering requires you to have a cache here for global services.

As this is going OT - I would refrain from posting any more on this. If mods want, please split off this into a new topic.
 
@vivek.krishnan Your Reply is relevant to this topic to achieve affordable fast internet. I completely agree with you, We need More peering centers in each city so that one can connect to each other physically and start peering without inflating their bills.

Peering shouldn't be like Nixi, Charge per port speed flat rate they should follow. By the way Nixi is a big joke.

I would imagine it to be very expensive due to limited range of cat5 cable 100m .so will need ofc to connecct 2 distant regional peering centres to get hhigh speed

ISP needs to connect to the Internet Exchange (IX) through OFC in order to start peering. What ISP usually does is lease a underground ofc that is already laid in order to avoid headaches.

I am still clueless as to how these ISP's like Beam are still avoiding Nixi.
