Respected Sir,
This is in reference to your announcement made on Dec.14th 2006 directing Govt Telecom Players MTNL and BSNL to Offer 2 MBPS to all their customers.
I am a MTNL customer from Mumbai having 590NU Plan which covers Night Unlimited Usage.
The Announcement from MTNL directed only the fixed usage members with the increase in bandwith and the Actual Users Like myself under the Unlimited Plan are barred from this Offer.
It must also be noted There is a total Unlimited Plan for both BSNL and Delhi MTNL Custumers but surprisingly MUMBAI MTNL is barred from this plan too.
I have asked for assistance to provide this plan to MTNL Authorities but this has fallen on Deaf Ears.
I have also posted an open Letter to MTNL Authorities regarding the same here : http://www.indiabroadband.net/mtnl-b…thorities.html (Open Letter To MTNL Authorities)

but still no reply or explanation has been provided till yet.
Looking at the services offered at other countries even 2 MBPS is quite low but it still raises hope among us for bright future.
I request you to kindly look under this matter and provide a proper solution to this problem.

Thank You.

Can one imagine a world without sound? A child grows up learning about sound. Why, it starts hearing before it is born. It responds to sound even in the mother’s womb. As it grows, it learns to recognise its mother’s voice. It associates sound with different articles: when the phone rings, it looks at the telephone instrument, an association of ideas is formed!

Sign language, the deaf-mute vocabulary, is a vibrant, expressive form of communication. In fact, in many ways it is more intimate and wholesome than the spoken word - it is three-dimensional, has a certain beauty and grace and, contrary to popular belief, it involves not just the hands, but also body language and facial expressions.

Not many people know that sign language is also learnt by those who can speak and hear - like firemen, who use it to communicate in smoky and noisy conditions, and scuba divers, who need to ‘talk’ to each other under water. Often, police officers use it to communicate in volatile situations where silence and secrecy are vital.

About three percent of the general population has a permanent hearing loss that cannot be medically treated. Technologically advanced digital and programmable hearing aids that are currently available in the market make speech understanding easy.

Learning finger spelling or sign language goes a long way in bridging the communication gap between the hearing and those who have not acquired speech as a consequence of profound hearing loss.
