But I wont. Bravo ECI and the people behind it. Keep the good work on.
But before I leave the scene, let me record some more facts.
1. NDA govt implements privatisation (initiated by Congress regime in 90s) of Navaratna VSNL - UPA/Left are in opposition 2. VSNL gets a new private MD in the form of Ratan Tata 2002-2005. 3. Ratan Tata is a governing member of board of trustee in RAND - research and analysis think tank for US Armed Forces. 4. Ratan Tata is also on programme board of Bill Gates and Melida Gates Foundation. 5. Reliance, which owns FLAG, is already a close partner of Microsoft. 6. Microsoft thus gains strategic and vantage points at VSNL and other important landing stations of undersea bandwidth cables. 7. US had by now announced successful Cyber warfare NSPD 16 through a Presidential Directive, whereby any remote digital networks could be crippled. 8. Somewhere in between in a US court, Microsoft informs that it cannot continue revealing further information to the judge, as the information is closely related to US national security.
That was all what I could gather. So the continent is now prone to cyber attack. And look who's celebrating - with Ratan Tata. If Tagore were alive now, he would have slapped someone in W Bengal, at least I am sure.
That leaves me to announce my retirement from FSF list. Bye. CK Raju
