More undersea cable wars brewing in India

international cable companies are basically cartels --
leaking bandwidth into the market at a rate sufficient
enough to keep prices artificially high enough to (at
the very least) sustain fiscal margins.

This has been going on for years.

What will they do then? Lay more fibre next year? :)
