BSNL plans to reach out to gram panchayats in Dharwad Telecom District

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has come up with an ambitious plan of reaching out to all the gram panchayats in the Dharwad Telecom District and has appealed to the private players to join hands with the corporation to expand its FTTH service network.

Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Friday, General Manager of Dharwad Telecom District of BSNL Dhananjaykumar Tripathi said that as part of the ‘Make In India’ initiative, BSNL had geared up itself to extend the 4G network service to rural areas through indigenously developed technologies.

Mr. Tripathi said that already BSNL had identified the areas where 4G network service was not available and steps were being taken to extend the network to rural areas through optical fibre network at reduced tariff.
