Like 5 days before, the same Kerala Govt has given permission to lay underground fiber cable for Bharti Airtel through out Kerala except 2 districts. Don't remember the charge exactly.
Another Condition is that it should provide free fiber connection to all Govt Institutions and schools with a minimum speed of 10Mbps

As am from Kerala, don't even think this K-FON project will start in few days or months. It may take Years. May be the project will get cancelled.
That's how we deal things here..

To bridge the digital divide by providing high-speed, affordable internet connectivity to every household, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday launched the KFON (Kerala Fibre Optic Network) in the state.

Speaking at the launch event, the Chief Minister said that KFON will revolutionise the digital space.

'With KFON, free internet connectivity will be provided to 20 lakh BPL families. It will also cover villages in all 14 districts. Earlier only 10% of government offices had high-speed Internet, with the launch of KFON, 30,000 government institutions will have high brand width connectivity,' said the Chief Minister.
