BSNL and MTNL have been on the wane for a few years now. The Ministry does not appear to have done much to arrest the slide…
It's a fact that BSNL's revenues are down. This is because of the intense competition, our delayed reaction time, endless litigation, the implications of the Sixth Pay Commission and huge delays in our tendering process. We're simply not able to react and move ahead.
Add to this our social obligations. We're the only ones that service the remotest of corners of our country. No private company of comparable size has the staff strength that we have. They do not have the social obligation we have when it comes to employment. We also have to service a huge number of landlines across the country and most of these are in places which have no other form of communication.
It is to promote BSNL and MTNL that I pushed to give them 3G spectrum ahead of everyone else. We've also given them WiMax ahead of the others. We're constantly exploring avenues so that BSNL and MTNL can turn the corner.
