india is a weird place

One of their biggest industries is offshore back office and callc entre functions. they spend alot of time and money promoting this.

On the other hand these functions need connection by subsea fibre optics to the rest of the world . If one of these cable fails the Indian Government need a visa for all the repair ships crew and that cannot be done on the high seas and like this trip is complicated so it typically takes 6 weeks just to get the ship 'into India' ie their waters . So one hand promotes something the other hand makes it very difficult to provide the tools for it. bit of a shambles all round still in my experience
