<b>Myopia over Radio</b>

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Governments can be an unthinking barrier to the productive (and imaginative) use of communication resources. Radio frequencies exist, but the government decides to regulate their use. Fair enough, except that in India it has meant that the government simply bans their use. For more than six decades it has been illegal to utilise these frequencies because of a pre-independence law that is yet to be scrapped.
