There seems to be a tremendous effort by the imho scam spotter to bloviate daily on the MTNL "sign on" issue in either an attempt to distort or yet another indication of being a few fries short of a happy meal. Judging from history, I'd say it's both.
The gibberish is in who launched what & when and how the low "sign on" #s, that will be reported Q3, is yet another indicator of the scam collaboration between OVOE & MTNL, etc, blah, etc,.
The fact that the available services would not be known by 99.9% of the customers until the marketing launch, that began on 7/31/09, is not an issue to the imho scam spotter.
The fact that MTNL expects 300k to sign on in its first YEAR & gave no indication (& why would they) what the expectation would be after 2 months, is not an issue to the imho scam spotter.
Always check for accuracy what you read on message boards.
And remember that MTNL was only the 1st of 3 "anticipated" launches to occur in '09.
Telmex did not allow Telnor to die a slow death. Telmex decided to go with the whole OVOE enchilada instead of email read only. It is anticipated to RE-launch in '09.
A large US company is the other.
Place your bets.
