The minister says that the Rs.17,000 crore ($3.5 billion) in the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) will be utilised to connect 626,000 villages. He says that it would entail setting up 11,000 communications towers, and that state-run BSNL will be entrusted with this mammoth task. Sounds good so far.
But with no firm dates announced we have to wait for Pilot’s “news on this very soon.”

MTNL is offering unlimited surfing for its broadband subscribers and for free.  The offer is: no monthly rental,  subscribers pay only for the data downloaded.

MTNL plans to provide cable TV channels to its broadband subscribers — an issue that might raise the hackles of some in the broadcasting industry. But surely not a issue that has arisen in the “net neutrality” debate in the U.S.

Dial-up users have  also grown by 24 per cent to touch 6.9 million users. Net telephony is an attraction that is bound to see rapid growth. A word of caution. Numbers are being quote from various quarters. Maybe one should take them with a pinch of salt.
India’s international bandwidth providers are to raise their capacity by 95 per cent. Here’s a report with more details. Gear up folks….
