Mr. VM,

Just to bring you back to India. If I were an auto-wala I wouldn't be seen
dead with a transistor (akin to: India would never like to be seen without
the
Nukes). Private FM radios are successful only in the metros where they dish
out India Pop to swanky cars doing the downtown rush hour drive.
(Advertising spend is correlated to customer profiles)
Villagers who have electricity have TV sets. Villagers without
don't have the money for an FM radio in anycase. Except ....

Regards
AG

PS Perhaps we should ask Verappan his views
