BSNL to introduce new service shortly R. Sairam
Three-in-one `Broadband Multiplay'



MADURAI: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is all set to introduce some of its next generation Internet services.
The new scheme titled `Broadband Multiplay' will have voice, video and Internet protocol television (IPTV) services in one package. While at present the connectivity speed of BSNL broadband connection is two megabits per second (MBPS), the new technology will enable connectivity at a speed of eight MBPS.
The IPTV service will enable access to content providers who will offer "content on demand." A `set top box,' either on a rental basis or outright purchase, will be provided to consumers to access this facility.
To be launched in 789 cities all over the country shortly, the requisite infrastructure was being put in place, a senior official said here on Monday. The feasibility study of the project had been completed and the equipment was being delivered to the sites for installation.
Madurai would be the base for the services offered in and around the city. It would be provided based on parameters such as density of customers in the vicinity of BSNL telephone exchanges and number of `Bfone' subscribers. In the initial stage, the project would be implemented using copper wires.
A new futuristic technology, `Fibre to the home,' was in the final stage of technical valuation, the official said and expressed the hope that it would be implemented by the year-end.

is tat true?are we in some where in England
yes in my state ppl got computers(no,no way 50% may be 15% ) in villages and bsnl does a good job by providing either dataone(BB) or for sure dialup internet like netone.landline penetration is high.there is no such a divide that exists btwn villages and towns in kerala;may be in high-ranges(Malnad) eastern hilly areas of Kerala-remember Munnar.even there dial-up internet rocks!

i dont understand, for years we stuck with 56Kbps, then suddenly 256Kbps->>2Mbps->>8Mbps in a year and a half.

 

[Sukhdeep Singh]

My local newspapers had news that it will be launched this week in my city They said they has all *infrastructure* in place

 

[nish_higher]

8mbps connection ...but what about the tarrifs.and last time they screwed the whole thing by not upgrading the unlimited plans.is this gonna be the same way like it was then??

 

[sachin_kothari]

i just hope they put just dont put 1 GB bandwidth limit on this. Else as someone rightly said in this forum, "they will provide us hayabusa with 1 litre petrol."

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Lol 500 Mb limit at 8mbps.

 

[deepak.krishnan]

8 MbPS??? OMG.... BSNL is rocking...

Anyway, IPTV is a nice thing to be introduced But still, how many of us really need it now?

 

[ravi_9793]

gr8 news..........something that bring smile on my face.But I will request BSNL to first concerntrate to provide unlimited package of atlease @ 1 MBPS speed.

Whts the use of 8 MBPS speed when downloading limit is 1-4 GB per month.
