Airtel must bring competition by bringing 100Mbps tariffs to 199. How about that? @Koji @Phoenix96

Sunil mittal would get a nightmare seeing that kind of tarriffs

This will never get implemented. Broadband in Chennai and other areas are owned TCCL and SCV. they'll never let this happen.

This scheme will benefit villages and local cable operators would involve in this process. This is similar to how BSNL is offering connections in villages. Meanwhile Airtel and Jio have already started offering Airfibre in villages. Airtel and Jio may not invest in FTTH technologies for villages

This is not a brand new scheme if you (TN) guys remember. This was originally announced in 2016 during Amma's reign, along with the "Amma Wifi Zone" scheme. TACTV also received a ISP Class B license at that time, from the Telecom ministry. It was only on paper since then.

Now they have revived the scheme and announced it again. I hope at least this time it will see sunlight.

If it is implemented, we can get a benifit of low tariff from other ISP as well. In rural areas, most of the places TANFINET cable laying work is completed last year itself. There is a high chance that this scheme can easily be made available to rural areas. Hope Bharath Net scheme helping the state government.
