B/c Brahmins/their Slaves -- Don't Even Consider OBC/SC/ST/ REST INDIANS - Humans !So ------:---<BR/><BR/>The Permanent Solution I Think Is that :- Divide India Into Small Nations On Caste Lines, E.g. One Country For Brahmins, One for Upper Castes, One for OBC/SC/ST/ Rest -- On the Basis of Population of the Caste. Every Caste Will Have 100% Reservation In their Respective Country -- So No Fighting Any More & All Will Develop. A Non Indian Commission of United Nations should be Formed Under ChairManShip of It's Chief Koffi Anan --- to Divid India, to Maintain Impartiality, In Light of Historical Facts of Over 3000yrs, With No India In High Power Commission to Avoid Partiality. B/c In Present India Brahmins & Upper Castes Manage to Corners All Resources Meant for All Indians (OBC/SC/ST/REST INDIANS)- that's Why Brahmins/Upper Castes are Happy In Present India. OBC/SC/ST/Rest are Not Socially & Educationally Backward By - Choice - BUT - B/c Brahmins & their Slaves In Power have Kept them So - By Force & Conspiracy Since Over 3000yrs Particularly 1947 Onwards !<BR/><BR/>----- Let's Face the India's Ground Level Realities/Truths the Way they Are & Go For the Final Solution that Is Once & For All !!!<BR/><BR/>--- So Rashmi Bansal What's Your Is ???<BR/><BR/>--- Non-Brahman Hindu !

The aged ones always like to listen to the older songs.. I dont think one shud say that its just like "andheri nagri mein kana raja" or anything of that sort.

The competition pushed that Rs 30+ Crores. It is completely free market at play.<BR/><BR/>Then, spectrum is a limited resource. If telcos are paying a small fortune for using it, so should everybody else. Also, some spectrum will go for free to non-commercial ventures. e.g. Universities are allowed to setup their own FM channels. And Govt doesn't charge.<BR/><BR/>You can allow only a certain number of players in the market. As Govt makes a cut with revenue sharing, it is best to have only a few medium-to-large players instead of tons of small players.<BR/><BR/>To sum up, Govt has acted smart and not greedy.Shashikant Korehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867331057985056674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1149833616696026762006-06-09T11:43:00.000+05:302006-06-09T11:43:00.000+05:30a well written article as usual :) yes, the huge l...a well written article as usual :) yes, the huge license fees the radio companies have to pay end up being both entry and exit barries to the players in this industry. on top of that the radio software / towers are a huge cost in addition to the fees that they have to pay artists' association. Most of the radio stations in India are still in the red and have yet to break even. even Mirchi i think.<BR/>Radio Mirchi has launched in bangalore and they're duplicating their localized strategy here too. the RJs speak a weird mix of Kannada and English but play mostly hindi songs. I think this alienates the non-kannada audience, but i guess their TA is the kannada speaking populace. So i don't think Radio City has taken a hit in listership as of now. Ofcourse 'the mirchification' of Radio city in blore is happenly slowly, with popular RJs struggling to pepper their lines with kananda sentences. i think they should continue what they were doing before mirchi came on the scene. else city will become just another "me too" product, or is it "me mirchi too" product :)Aquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884584874282115926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1149796853097195592006-06-09T01:30:00.000+05:302006-06-09T01:30:00.000+05:30"If the government were to be less greedy, we'd se..."If the government were to be less greedy, we'd see more stations with more diversity but hey, that ain't gonna happen anytime soon."<BR/><BR/>You want Go 92.5 FM and JAM to think of economics, and expect charity from Govt?
