Hi Guys (Moderators)
I know Google Groups 2 is in beta right now... but would you guys (moderators) consider moving this ILUG Mailing list from your site to Google Groups when it is officially release it bug free?
I know that my reason is not practical, but on paper this stays true. """"Why should all of us user servers located in US to send and receive mails? If we have a mailing list mail server located in India, we live in India, and our personal mail servers (hopefully) are in India. Why should we waste international bandwidth on this?"""
ha ! Here is the catch and joke.
First indian servers are expensive. Due to high local bandwidth costs, servers in india cost 3 times of that in USA.
More important, even if you have indian servers and an indian ISP, you use international bandwidth. Last I checked a month ago, no ISP in india provided interconnect to each other. So, you use siffy at home to connect to vsnl email accounts at bom4 server in mumbai, your data goes through some gateway in USA bcause vsnl and siffy refuse to interconnect.
I don't know whose fault it is, but I have been told govt is planning to force large ISPs to interconnect here.

About Economy, i would say the US economist are the best, the Idea of BPO is a win win for them, when u out source , u buy lot of data centre, capable servers and hardware from US, thus fuelling their own home grown economy, and u buy their bandwidth as well. Not mentioning the other benifits for their other companies willing to outsource. So BPO is to stay for longer.

Ill have to check on that, for many a times during latency or other problems faced by ISPs, Indian specific sites like google.co.in yahoo.co.in bazee.com etc are available but the international websites aren't accessible. may be they are in some point interconnected. And some few years before sify had their major bandwidth coming from VSNL, aren't they interconnected then??
