On behalf of the Centre for Internet and Society, I must commend the Department of Telecom Panel on its report.  Overall, it displays a far better understanding of the underlying issues than the TRAI consultation paper did, and is overall a good effort at balancing the different sides.  However, some of its most important recommendations are completely off-mark and would be disastrous if accepted by the government.
