Govt tells BSNL to look at options, including closure

[vishalrao]

BSNL is the only ISP option in my area providing FTTH connections. If they close then no internet for me but still good. I hope someone like Airtel or Jio can provide me connections in my area after taking up the infrastructure of BSNL

BSNL should be converted as private and government collaboration. Then only BSNL employees will doing the job.

It's already private and govt collaboration only.60 percent of govt and 40 percent of private.it should be converted to private then only they will work

Atleast in my district LCO's provide FTTH to even the most remotest parts. BSNL is pretty much dead here either way since their daily fup plans are not going to make anyone run to get their connection. I was expecting BSNL to do good things now that Bharat Fiber is available in most villages and they no longer need to give reasons of less number of interested peoole etc. What do they do instead? Introduce daily FUP plans on a wired broadband. If anything FUP should not even exist in the coming years but BSNL is going backwards.

I love that . If people can guy phones worth 30-40k. 4.5k for Giga Fiber doesn't seems like a big deal to them.

Not all buying 30k to 40k.

According to quora in my city BSNL charges same as other operators. But has below average speed.

They could only sit and watch with Telecom. Need to see what they will have up their sleeves with broadband. BTW, I didn't know that Vodafone-Idea broadband is used by many!!

Used by many?

It's like making good startup & sold out to investing fund.

So Reliance Jio is already number 1. Nothing to run away with then. And 7 lac subscribers isn't much, though they are at 9th place! Also, Vodafone-Idea seems to be in 2nd place already in terms of broadband subscribers. So they do have big base.
