Airtel Marketing has some really cheap and nasty tricks up their sleeve …
Here are a few I have been targeted with recently:
1) They call you from an out-of-town landline number specifically when you are travelling and paying roaming charges per minute for incoming.
They make this call specifically to Airtel mobile customers only as they know […]

So, I got back to BLR airport last evening, and the moment you get out of baggage collection, you are flooded with large banners advertising Tata’s new GSM service in partnership with Japan’s NTT DoCoMo.

So I am at the Dubai airport and surfing around (on their free wifi, Thanks guys!)
However, I just decided to check up on something I’ve only read online … what kind of websites are good (or bad) enough to be blocked.

Political dumbness at its usual.
Some dumb political worker thinks hiding an important road sign at a busy crossing on Tumkur Road, Bangalore will help things improve!

There is this entire world beyond the small number of sites that talk about Web 2.0 and cheer each other over minor victories and launches of website betas.
