Since india-gii discusses pretty much the same thing, please go to https://ssl.cpsr.org/mailman/listinfo/india-gii to subscribe there... This list discusses and proposes to the Indian government changes in policy relating to electronic communications. Current concerns:



1) Ban on Internet telephony and blocking of related sites (see http://members.tripod.com/~india_gii/statusof.htm)



2) Proposal to the spectrum management authority for a band for spread-spectrum community networking, which could be used (for instance) by schools to connect to the Internet.



And whatever other ideas the list members have.



Decisions on what to publish as a formal document of FREE are taken on the list by consensus, failing which, by 2/3rds majority.
