Subject: [For IP] Invasive Wireless bill collection practices in India

Dave,

Miss a payment and wireless phone companies in India will call the most frequently called numbers on your phone to complain that you haven't paid your bill.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/mannu/225461.html is a blogger narrating his run-in with Hutch India[1], which BTW is the Indian roaming partner for T-Mobile.

India's lack of effective privacy laws is scary. The story you carried on source code theft in India a couple of days back is another incident where the legal system remains highly deficient.
