'internet services' becomes costly for consumers ::

In its internet service policy unveiled on Saturday, it also introduced a higher entry fee of Rs 20 lakh for category A (national-level) licence and Rs 10 lakh for Category B (state-level) licence, against a flat fee of Re 1 earlier. It has done away with the Category C (local-level) licence altogether.
