Nivio and Airtel Broadband’s Net PC Launch

Today Airtel and Nivio launched their Net PC. They are charging Rs. 7999 for the hardware and there are three broadband plans @ Rs. 699, 899 and 1199 per month for 3 GB per month data transfer limit. This another iteration of the kind of fraudband that is being peddled in this country. Today any customer can go out and buy whitebox CPU+CRT combo for Rs. 10,000 or CPU+LCD combo for Rs. 12,000. Combine that with BSNL’s Rs. 250/month broadband or for higher requirements Rs. 500 unlimited plans. It’s left to one’s imagination which will result into a better offer. This kind of nonsense must not succeed. More details at this link.
