Maran says he wants to give away broadband connections away for free. 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.
The government proposes to offer free, high-speed broadband connectivity to all Indians by 2009, through state-owned telecom service providers BSNL and MTNL.
Today, internet has become an integral part of people's daily life, and to prove this point, Finland government has gone one step ahead and made accessing internet a legal right for its citizens.
To access internet has become a right for every Finnish citizen. Yes, Finland has just passed a law that makes access to broadband a legal right for its citizens. From July 2010, every person in Finland, which has a population of around 5.3 million, will have the guaranteed right to a one-megabit broadband connection.

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.
