The telecom department will shortly move a Cabinet note to convert Bharat Broadband Network Ltd (BBNL) into a full-blown telecom services company from merely a bandwidth provider, according to an internal note seen by ET. It plans to broaden state-run BBNL's role by arming it with an internet service provider (ISP) permit or a unified licence (UL) to deliver government-to-citizen Wi-Fi services across rural India by leveraging the national optic fibre network (NOFN) network. At present, BBNL is merely a telecom infrastructure provider for the NOFN venture and is not authorised to deliver telecom services on this network. It is special purpose vehicle fully controlled by the telecom department.
