BSNL to Delay Rollout of 4G Services, Likely to Launch in March 2019

People who have put their trust in Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited for the rollout of 4G services might be a little bit disappointed since the state-owned telco has said that the launch of 4G in the twin cities- Hyderabad & Secunderabad will only happen in the March of 2019. However, the rest of Telangana is likely to receive the rollout of 4G services early, in this year itself. BSNL Chief General Manager of Telangana State Telecom Circle V. Sundar said that BSNL is already testing its equipment in Wyra (Khammam) and Jadcherla (Mahabubnagar). Mr Sundar said at a press conference at the Doorsanchar Bhavan held on Wednesday “It will cost up to Rs 300 crore for introducing 4G services in the capital and we have already requisitioned the head office about the project requirements. We are spending Rs 120 crore for the services in rest of the State and the equipment is already in place.”
