hi,

I recently came across a small piece of news which i wish to share with
you all.
This news came in a daily in Mumbai.

BSNL is planning to withdraw facility of telegram in almost all centers
across Himachal Pradesh, and the reason cited was that due to new
technologies like email and mobile phones; telegram is no longer needed.
I wonder have Himachal Pradesh such a high density of mobile users or
net users that it prompted BSNL to withdraw such a grass route service.
Frankly i personally have never used telegram facility, but has it
become so outdated of we have many internet connections.Fews days back
when shimla experienced Snowfall, i recived few pics from my friends
back in town, two of them usign broadband connections. However i still
think that net penentration is not as much and not to that level to
prompt such an act on the part of BSNL.

Feel free to comment, thats what this group is all about ;)
