DoT's changing attitude has a positive impact on all stake holders in communications. The Department is a multi-functional body with multiple facets to it. While the DoT still has that envied role of being both a referee and a player at the same time, competition is doing it a world of good.
Attitude change is one aspect which DoT is trying to come to terms with.
Having operated with a free-hand for more than half a century now, it has habits, which are difficult to get rid of. The positive thing is that it is finally trying. It is more conscious of itself. With competition coming in, strengths and weakness are coming out in the open. There seems to be a sense of ownership now.
