Reuters reports that BSNL could order upto $3 billion of telecom equipment. Yup. They are planning to float an international tender for the same.
A comforting thought that India is on the verge of another “telecom revolution”? Well, the money seems to have been financed by the Access Deficit Charge( ADC) that flows in BSNL’s coffers as it gets fat on the payments which in any case it doesn’t deserve.
Meanwhile, BSNL plans to set up a rural CDMA network on Build Operate Own and Transfer(BOOT) basis. Is this strategy right? I believe that if the resources come to the community, it might work out in their favour. I haven’t come across this while reporting on the Telecom scene ever.

Amit Khanna has given an interestiing insight in digital media. Fair enough. Though the readers should read in between the lines. He is highly paid exec of Reliance and gets probably paid media exposure. In other words, that is the future of what Reliance may be contemplating.
