Why people still think that there is something good about being undersupplied by local inept monopolies versus getting good service from decent companies is a mystery. But I guess this kind of thinking is the reason South Asia remains the sick man of the world.

Hi,
I am a bit confused with your remark. I never undermined FDI rather welcomed the competitions which will lower down the call rates. The whole issue was that Indian border region is using Bangladesh network and Bangladesh getting the revenue.
While Diganta, who is an Indian, is a supporter of indegeneous companies.
So I am a bit confused whose thinking is sick and who is complaining?
