Oh, bandwidth prices are fairly low. They just don't want to provide end users with low cost bandwidth, because a lot of people would move away from dedicated circuits (or would demand and enforce SLAs at the same price).
Feel free to get a few hundred/thousand of your neighbours together and start off a community ISP.
Alternatively, lobby the government to split the telcos into connectivity providers and service providers and allow equal access to the wires to all those who want it.
One good development will be taking happenning in India and thats WIMAX. Its meant to overcome the difficulties of last mile connectivity problems in developing countries and provide broadband services. They alreay tried it out in Himachal Pradesh.
