A newspaper article mentions availability of online RTI filing at http://www.rtination.com/. Just FYI for those who may not be aware. Haven't researched yet to see if it is applicable in all states nor know how effective it is.

Unique ID for telephone number?

24 August 2009 - 10:27pm — n

http://www.deccanherald.c... provides an article about a proposal to use the UID for telephone numbers. This is not a good idea and I emailed Mr. Acharya (the person quoted in the article; contact information at http://www.cdot.com/about...) pointing out issues and proposing alternate solution. He appears to be based in Bengaluru - can anyone local contact him and/or C-DOT and dissuade him/them against the idea?
