Q. We would like to have had an opinion poll comparing the services of the main Cable TV service providers in Vizag - Cable Vision, Siti Cable & (to a small extent) Excel Media. Such a poll would have been meaningless though, as these operators seem to have formed a cartel and have divided up the city amongst themselves. Now you do not have a choice - your location decides who your cable operator will be. As with any cartel, pricing & quality of service are not based on any demand/supply equation or your feedback. It is pay up or else...

Q. After a recent visit to the Far East, the Municipal
Commissioner Mr.Sanjay Jaju spoke of his plans to turn Visakhapatnam into another
Singapore. While these grandiose plans seem highly improbable at this stage given the sad
state of cleanliness and poor civic sense, do you think that the Corporation can turn
Vizag into a Visakhapore or a Singapatnam? |
