BSNL be allowed to use technology from global vendors, BMS wrote to PM
way2barak, July 11: Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting that BSNL be allowed to upgrade telecom infra using technology from global vendors. The request is made by BMS because of not having high-speed networks like private telcos. Until the time there is proven technology that is ready to be deployed at scale, BMS has requested the PM that BSNL be allowed to use technology from international vendors.
BMS said that BSNL is important to ensure balance in the market and avoid any monopolistic scenario. The association mentioned the tariff hikes from the private telecom operators. The body said that data services will become very expensive for poor people and it will be a setback to the government’s efforts to bridge the digital divide.
