In an interaction with the media, Maran said that free broadband service - even zero rental telephone lines - might be a reality in India. And this is possible in two years, according to him.

Interesting, its will be a good investment by India I think just like public education is. But, I think its not viable. Perhaps for research, educational, and other such facilities it may not be so far fetched, but for all consumers it's never going to happen.
