I was a Vodaphone subscriber for more than 10 years. The service deteriorated. Two years back I changed to Jeo. Extremely happy, not only about the charges but also about the reception everywhere and very low International Roaming Charges of Rs. 2 per minute. I am in USA for past 5 months and my monthly bill is in the range of Rs. 250-300.
The point is "customer is King and the efficient Companies will always be the King" whatever be the Competition.
It is the same case of MTNL Internet Service. EExcept for feeding their employees what other purpose they are serving?
My reference to Vodafone Idea was only to illustrate that there has to be a reasonable number of players in any market/industry which will promote fair competition while still not creating any monopoly leading to unfair and restrictive practices.
What GoI did is a different matter out of context for this blogpost - the reference was only to highlight, as rightly said by you, that customer is king and there has to be a fair competition in the industry/market place.
I hope author and other writers recall the plea of Vodafone Idea with the GoI that this country must have three large telecom players, apart from a government owned fourth one, so that there can be a level playing field and competition among the service providers.
I wish there are more Amazons irrespective of Ms. Khan.
