Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Dear Friends,

Congratulations for this much-needed initiative, which will enable billons around
the world to get a Digital Identity – billions who have none at present

But at the other end of this IDENTITY SPECTRUM, there are a couple of billions,
who are literally “ drowning “ in hundreds of digital ( and paper ) identities – all
having a lot of common information about them !

These people are fed up of carrying those multiple identities ( paper ones, in
pocket and digital ones on their mobiles ), to be able to show to any person /
agency / authority / goods & service providers , when demanded

They are desperately looking for a solution which can “ merge “ all those
identities into just ONE UNIQUE identity

You might want to examine my following suggestion to give such persons,

Dear PM,
 
You have rightly pointed out that Women are the “ unsung heroines “ of the dairy sector.
 
It is high time we recognize their contribution by giving some National Award to Ramilaben about whom I wrote to you some 10 years ago :

Dear Nitinbhai,

Two days back, in " Aap ki Adalat " , Rajat Sharma charged you for being a DREAM MERCHANT

Apparently, Rajat had in mind : Building Castles in the Air

He never heard :

" It is perfectly OK - even desirable - to build castles in the air , as long as you know, how to build FOUNDATIONS underneath, later on "

In your reply ( not defence ), you proved that you know , not only building castles in air, but also how to build foundations later !

One of those " castles " is ELECTRIC HIGHWAYS

As to the " foundation " , I am sure you have read my following earlier mails :

Dear Shri Rabi Sankarji,

My apologies for paraphrasing “ Et Tu, Brute ( Even You, Brutus ) ? “
And for :
“ Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more “
Do I hear correctly ?
“ Not that I loved Customer Privacy less but that I love DATA MONETIZATION more “

 You are not the first person to stress upon :
Ø  Data is MONEY
Ø  Data has significant value for businesses
Ø  Personal Data  vs  Public Data
Ø  User as the “ Data Owner “
Ø  Customer Privacy  
Ø  Need for user consent
Ø  Data not owned by RBI
 
Nor are you the first to talk about “ Monetization of Personal Data “ of customers

However, you are THE FIRST person to talk about :   “ Community Protection Law “
You have not elaborated on what shape such “ Community Protection Law “ should take
I hope what you have in mind is :
Ø  Monetization of any User’s Personal Data , must include COMPENSATING the user for using his data
Ø  Customer Privacy will mean selling / sharing ONLY “ Aggregated and Anonymized Data “
 
I urge you to consider the following FRAME-WORK for your proposed
 “Community Protection Law “ :
