Special Mention to former CMs @EPSTamilNadu and @mkstalin for continuing to pursue the Chennai Metro Ph-2 amid covid and funding delays. Executed at a very good pace...🙌🙏
Peak example is Sachin Tendulkar in his book gleefully flexing how when he played for Yorkshire, he'd use lettuce to make the salad bowl at Pizza Hut taller so he could get twice as much without paying more. He was already wealthy by then. But this still made him proud.
You can mock Elon Musk and America.
But if there were no American companies in India, we would be working as slaves to Indian boomer capitalists.
They would exploit you to the core.
America is giving a better life to many Indians. Remember that.
Satellite connectivity is inevitable and nothing is going to beat the @Starlink constellation atleast for the near future.
In India, even an advanced state like #TamilNadu has connectivity gaps in difficult terrain, especially across the Western and Eastern Ghats. Fibre and towers can't solve every geographical problem.
Yes, data security, sovereignty and privacy MUST BE protected, BUT, surely India is capable of regulating transformative technology without simply resisting it completely!
The opportunity is enormous: remote healthcare, quality education for all, disaster management, island/rural/tribal connectivity, ensuring truly seamless access in places terrestrial networks struggle to reach.
If pricing, privacy and India-specific safeguards are concerns, negotiate them firmly and PUT IN PROPER GUARDRAILS !
OR EVEN BETTER CREATE OUR OWN ASSET ! We as a Country NEED satellite based data/communications ASAP.
Don’t just block breakthrough technology to preserve old market structures. USE IT. Learn from it and CREATE OUR OWN ASSET asap.
I do agree, especially on the back of the US Govt's aggressive moves like the latest H1B issues and other curbs that the US is bringing on Indian Cos, one does need to think deeper before giving free access to large US firms in India.
One thing is CLEAR. GOI MUST***INVEST IN R&D***for such crucial tech and shape it to India’s interest.
That is how we can truly ensure high Quality #ConnectivityForAll in India.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
Tamizh samoogam should stop using art criticism as an avenue to virtually signal their political correctness.
First check whether your political correctness is internally consistent and pragmatic then let's start applying to criticise art.
John Steinbeck did not say 'And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good' in East of Eden for y'all to be judging Dorothy this harshly. It has its problems, but ultimately it's been made with love and giving LGBTQ+ people a respect hitherto unseen in Tamil cinema.
