It is heartening to note that the government is initiationg next round of telcom reforms.The government will get Rs40000crores by auctioning 3G spectrum.It was the vision late Rajiv Gandhi to bring about tecom and IT revolution in India.At that time all criticised him and leaders in opposition like advani sad at that time that it was not beneficial to India.Similarly now when Dr.Manamohan Singh is trying to achieve energy security and all opposition leaders like advanis,karats,swarajs are oppsing nuke deal.Only great visinaries can have lofty vision and not poor minds.
