Jeff Jarvis of <a href="http://www.buzzmachine.com/" target="_blank" title="Buzz Machine">Buzzmachine</a> fame rants about <a href="http://www.buzzmachine.com/2008/01/20/the-metered-internet/" target="_blank" title="Metered Intenet and how it's a bad thing...">metered internet and how it's a bad thing</a>. I guess it's a good thing India really doesn't hold something where in a lot of "liveblogs" or "web-surfing" needs to be done. Unlimited net speed comes at a premium of INR 1000 ($ 25 that is) and 256kbps for unlimited bandwidth. *sigh*P.S. a 6Mbps connection in Germany with unlimited bandwidth costs 50.00 Euros (with a 1 year telephone and data  contract) from T-Com. Consequently, metered internet is undoubtedly a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style:italic;">hotel characteristic</span>. =D<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style:italic;">Hamaara Number Aayega</span> ;-)
