It looks like soon BSNL will ask private operators to operate and maintain its towers and its optical fiber cables in India and this been done to bring down the cost of managing it.
Mr R.K. Upadhyay CMD BSNL in his recent interview to The Hindu Businessline cited once a private player takes over the mobile towers, then the cost of maintaining the sites, including security, air-conditioning and diesel will be borne by the partner.
BSNL will continue to own the towers and also occupy one slot of the tower.The partner will be free to rent out space to other mobile operators for a fee .
Our take :-
BSNL earlier tried with private player in wimax venture but it did welcome many controversies.It would be better if BSNL keeps its assets under its own operations and rent it to pvt players.
Whatever it is, bsnl makes plans but it didn’t happen coz all decision of bsnl is regulated by govt of india. It makes the whole procedure lengthy and cumbersome to all tender appliers.
Do you think this will help BSNL and end users do let us know whats your take on this.

Well, it is now clear that PSUs can survive only in a monopoly/hegemony. Can’t take competitions! Very unfortunate that BSNL is not able to manage their own towers ! Better wind up – This kind of partnership business will only end up in more scamsor bunder-baat.
By the way who is at the helm of affairs – Kapilji ? What about his 100 days’ promise ?

To use Airtel broadband u need to be urban area. what about rural people ..?? And I have used Airtel broadband and it’s really poor in every aspect from BSNL. Airtel may be good with mobile services but BSNL is the dad of all pvt operators in broadband.

@tanmoy paul
acha bhai sahab,to thoda yeh batane ka kast kare ki saare bank ne bsnl ka service kyu le rakha hai agar airtel bsnl se behtar service provider hai to??
anyway mai managed leased line service ka baat kar raha tha,broadband ka nahi.banks ko broadband se nahi chalaya ja sakta.
aur broadband me bhi best service provider 2011 bsnl ko mila hai,airtel ko nahi
bsnl ka 2g,customer care aur marketing thik nahi hai.Lekin iske 3g,broadband,leased line and loss me rahte hue bhi aur government se financial help na milte hue bhi social service ka koi mukabla nahi hai.

Porting out is easy….but staying in others’s home is tough. I am pretty confident u will come back,not now but after 4-5 months….and u will tell the reasons also. !!
Tharun George January 16, 2013 at 12:05 pm
Its been almost 2 years since I got Independence from BSNL. I was on Vodafone first 9 months and now on Idea for more than 1 year.
No never I am going back to BSNL.
abhijith October 3, 2011 at 7:29 pm
NOW CONFORMED THIS INDIAN GOING TO SELL THIS BSNL TO PRIVATE
Abhijit October 3, 2011 at 5:05 pm
If BSNL sells its towers then At least there tower will be working for 24 hours as private will do the Maintenance.
Otherwise in small towns & Village if there is no power supply for more than 12hrs then BSNL network also gets shutdown, as no BSNL official comes at tower site for diesel filling in the generator!!!
Ajay October 3, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Haa kyon nahi, Mukesh Ambani ko bhi to tower chahiye unke 4G expansion ke liye. De do saste mein. Yeh toh hona hi tha. Jald hi Mukesh Ambani bsnl ke saare tower bhangaar ke bhav se rent pe le lega aur best coverage provide karega.

Bsnl is worst Mpbile Network in our city ( every fortnight Network missing) and also no signal indoor , every time when call go to open are ( i.e roof of building or on road.
hellow
bsnl has 2g network [not2.5g] and 3g across india
for 2g,2.5g mobiles you will never get good network for call.[when signal
bar shows 5]
for 3g mobiles, bsnl 3g signal strength is low but you can get good call service.
[when signal bar shows 1]
Tharun Jacob George October 3, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I ported out of BSNL network, now its no my concern any more. Bsnl sucks.
Baba October 3, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Bad decision .. if bsnl is operated by private players..
then bsnl will too bcom costly in every terms like broadband-3g-calls-landline..
nd ya then there will b big big ghotala’s too..
here in bihar bsnl is awesome.. in 80% of bihar have bsnl 3g-broadband-landline..

mtnl delhi is the best in every aspect
Manoj Thakur October 3, 2011 at 1:05 pm
You are right. BSNL itself is unable to manage it’s towers. The BSNL tower in our area remains out of service at daytime and works at night hours that too is only for 2-3 hours. I complained to many officers about it but of no use.
varun October 3, 2011 at 12:30 pm
Bsnl should be replaced by mtnl delhi?
Anup October 3, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Bsnl is worse. Calls gets dropped mostly and also their range doesnt remain stable. Sometime it shows full range and suddenly within seconds range disappears. Bsnl is providing worse service in Goa.

It’s like allowing a dog to guard bone.
It should be under BSNL or operator will misuse.
Gavin Mathos October 3, 2011 at 6:32 am
BSNL 3G is Faster, Safer than any other Operator in the Country. Also BSNL has widest Coverage in the Country. BSNL has Lowest Tariff Plans than any other Operator.
So BSNL 3G is the Best.
arun kumar October 3, 2011 at 6:11 am
a good move. kerala is the only profitable circle for bsnl.bcoz of its pathetic customer care many of my friends port in to airtel and idea
