Speculations are also rife, in the Indian telecom circles, about the telco potentially resorting to phasing out 3G services, whilst retaining 2G services to cater to its rural customer base. However, BSNL is yet to confirm the exact date of rollout of 4G services in India. Nonetheless, the telco has been granted full-fledged 4G spectrum by the government of India. The union government also made official a revival package which includes monetization of assets, bonds, and a VRS package for BSNL employees. The merger of MTNL with BSNL would also take place in the near future.
Hence, subscribers of all major telcos in India are eagerly waiting with bated breath for full-fledged BSNL 4G services. In fact, very recently, social media was also abuzz with the “BSNL 4G” trend indicating the minds of netizens. Most netizens stated that they were eagerly awaiting to experience BSNL’s 4G. This is in tandem with the telco’s Rs 1699 annual prepaid recharge plan that offers 2GB data per day, along with free voice calls for up to 250 minutes per day. In summary, it would do a world of good in case rumours about BSNL deploying 4G in the next 6 months turns true.
