In 2001 an expert declared that Railways will be bankrupt by 2015 unless privatised. It was making huge losses and was expected to make US$15.4 billion loss by 2015. Lalu turned it around in 2-3 years and now its made profit of U$2.47 billion.
Can India’s mobile operators take a lessons from Laloonomics? The 3G & 4G Wireless Blog certainly thinks so and contrasts how the Railways and mobile operators function [hat tip: Twilight Fairy]

Hi
I follow your blog religiously. I owe over 6 blog subscriptions solely to DesiPundit!
Anyway, this was not a good selection by DesiPundit. The author has not done any background research. India has the lowest tarrifs in the world and he speaks of how they are overcharging.
source : http://www.emergic.org/archives/2007/02/06/index.html#tech_talk_3gsm_mumbai_india_mobile_industry
Phrases like “gives them right to charge whatever they wish.” reeks of price control era thoughts.
Anyways, keep up the good work! will keep reading.

Arvind, I do not necessarily agree with all the posts that I link to. If you write a fitting response to the linked post arguing why you disagree, I’ll be glad to link to that as well.

Pat,
I don’t think he as talking about Indian mobile operators. He mentions things like U.K cell phones being charged high amounts while roaming in U.S.
