BSNL plans to launch 4G services in
six circles
State-run telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) plans to launch high-speed fourth-generation (4G) services
across six telecom circles, of the 20 circles where it operates. BSNL is in talks with various telecom companies,
including Reliance Jio Infocomm (RJIL) and SSTL, for a strategic tie-up.
BSNL CMD Anupam Shrivastava told FE that they were open for a strategic tie-up for 4G operations and are in talks
with various telecom companies in this regard. However, he did not name the telcos.
Telcos are eagerly awaiting announcement of the guidelines on spectrum sharing and trading, which is expected to be in
place in a month or two.
Official sources said for BSNL, RJIL would be the first choice, as RJIL has already signed a pact with BSNL to lease out
4,000 of its mobile towers. It is the only telco that has 4G spectrum in 2300 MHz band across all 22 telecom circles. But,
unlike RJIL, that plans to launch 4G services in few selected circles in next one or two months, BSNL is expected to start
its 4G operations in six of its circles only by March 2016.
On the other hand, Russia’s SSTL, that operates in India under MTS, offers mobile services across nine circles. MTS
has, however, denied any such plan.
BSNL has limited spectrum to offer full-fledged 4G services and would need at least 5 MHz for successfully rolling out
4G services and is looking to partner with other telco.
BSNL is currently overhauling its operations and upgrading its networks. It is also looking at convergence of its wireless
and wire-line networks to provide high speed data 4G services. It has broadband spectrum in 16 telecom circles.
A senior BSNL official explained that BSNL may offer 4G service in around eight to nine telecom circles and would
compensate it with a similar quality of network on Wi-Fi and 3G and to offer seamless connectivity.
BSNL is also integrating its network with 3G, 4G network so that customer can be seamlessly transferred to Wi-Fi.
BSNL is investing about Rs 7,000 crore in setting up Wi-Fi hotspots integrated with 3G, 4G networks across the country
over the next two years.

A month on, BSNL regains lost ground with unlimited scheme
Since May 1, BSNL has been offering unlimited free calls at night from its landline to any landline or mobile network across the country.— FILE Photo
New connections have risen, claims Mysuru Telecom District
The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited‟s (BSNL) „tempting‟ scheme – unlimited free calls from its landline at night to any
landline or mobile network across India – seems to have helped it regain lost ground in the landline market.
Consequent to the launch of the scheme on May 1, the number of new landline connections had seen a rise, claims the Mysuru
Telecom District (MTD), which controls Mysuru and Chamarajnagar districts.
The scheme was available across all the plans, except the Rs. 140 a month plan, and is applicable from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
“Last month alone, new landline connections went up by 54 percent,” said T.V. Venkatram, Principal General Manager,
Mysuru Telecom District (MTD), Mysuru.
Mr. Venkatram told The Hindu that the MTD had been doing its best to popularise the offer through various mediums.
“It is perhaps for the first time since the inception of BSNL that free unlimited calls have been offered to its landline
customers,” he said.
On the continuation of the offer, Mr. Venkatram said, “The offer had come into effect from May 1. It‟s a policy matter taken at
the highest level and I cannot comment on how long the scheme would be offered.”
Mr. Venkatram admitted that the landline connections had marginally dropped over the years in MTD limits, owing to
increase in its mobile connections.
“Landline customers switched over to our mobile connections for convenience and surrendered the landlines. Importantly,
the customers have not left the BSNL since they chose its mobile services,” he replied.
In reply to a query, he said there were 70,000-plus BSNL landline connections in both Mysuru and Chamarajnagar districts.
A year ago, MTD had 75,350 connections.
The landline connections in previous years were like this – 86,578 (2011); 87,570 (2012) and 83,791 (2013). Notably,
broadband and mobile connections have gone up since 2011.
A representative at the BSNL Tele Shoppe at Saraswathipuram here said, “The response to the scheme is good and new
connections went up reasonably. The scheme is available for all phones except for the basic plan. People making STD calls
opted for new connections since STD calls were also free between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.”
