Paramilitary & Defences Forces constitute a unique group of subscribers in telecom. Their needs are totaly different from a normal user. I am giving just a few points in this respect:
1. He stays away from his family most of the time so he requires cheap/unlimited STD calls and he never bothers about local call rates. More than 99% of his mobile spending goes in STD calls. But no operator gives any plan to suite them.
2. He stays away from his home/duty circle most of the time, so he requires cheap roaming rates.
3. He requires an operator which has presence in the circles he vists for leave duty or temporary duties (TD). But alas! only BSNL fits in this criteria.
4. Operators like Reliance CDMA and MTS sell their handssets which becomes useless where they don’t have services as these handsets are locked by operaters.
5. Provide Truely Unlimited STD calling to atleast one number.
