WiFi Stupidity in India

So the imbeclies running the show in India want to outlaw open Wi-Fi. This ignores the view that open WiFi may be a good way to get internet access to a large number of people in a poor country. And why should every user get his own DSL line? It's just a waste of resources.
Not to mention that this does nothing to stop terrorist attacks. Meanwhile, the terrorists will just use a phone booth or a postal mailbox. Why is it that every political system seems to be controlled by jackasses?
