BSNL’s Chairman and Managing Director Shri.Anupam Shrivastava told – “We are in talks with various cable operators to use their access to each and every household. It will be a profit sharing arrangement.”
The last mile connectivity of cable TV operators will be used with BSNL’s optic fibre network to offer broadband at every nook and corner.
BSNL is focusing on data services such as WiFi, Broadband and 4G to increase their revenue flows. The company has been offering discounts for its landline and broadband services to attract subscribers.
