So India is out of the cricket World Cup. Sony which is televising the matches stands to lose a lot of money as rates of commercials come sharply down. Criminals based in Pakistan and the Middle East will also lose a lot of money as few bets will be placed on the remaining matches from the subcontinent. Thankfully DoorDarshan will not be able to make money by robbing Sony and broadcasting Indian matches live without having paid for the rights. This was made possible by a court decision saying that this was in public interest. How a cricket match can be in public interest is hard to imagine but with India losing out such a crime has been averted. Public sector companies such as Door Darshan, BSNL ( telephone ) and MTNL ( telephone in Delhi and Bombay ) have looted the public for years. Until 15 years ago these were monopolies and charged huge amounts for rude and rubbishy service. Door Darshan had only two channels and showed how to use manure in farming during prime time. After Star started transmission it has more than a dozen channels but mostly still showing rubbish. There used to be a waiting list of at least four years to get a phone but now we can get one in a day because of competition by private players. Government companies should have given us the best service but they looted us for years. It is time that Indians booted these fellows out.
