Reliance Jio Infocomm could become the first telecom operator in the country to lease fibre being laid by the government under the BharatNet initiative.
The government’s BharatNet programme, under which 250,000 gram panchayats are to be connected by broadband by end of 2018, has not evoked interest on expected lines.
A top government official said the Mukesh Ambani-owned company is in talks with the Department of Telecommunications ( DoT ) to lease dark, or unused, optic fibre and is studying business prospects to use it in the states of Haryana and Karnataka.
