I wonder who in their right minds would be drawing a salary at Airtel to spend time conjuring such thoughts. Its like paying someone to clean your house then getting advise that your neighbours house should be muddied a bit to reflect the general demeanour of the neighbourhood.

Anyone who thinks about breaking up a progressive company unfortunately is living in the past.
1. AT&T was broken up but bounced back. 2. Microsoft was threatened with break up but market forces did what the regulators couldn't do. 3.
