Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is expected to launch 4G network
using homegrown technology on August 15, 2022. It could be the start of
something big for India. If BSNL can deliver a good 4G experience to the
Indian consumers, it will be a big pain alleviated from the lives of
the consumers. India currently has three private telecom operators who
are working day in and out to give consumers a good 4G experience. But
because of the limited capacity available with each of these operators,
network congestion is a common scenario in the Indian market.
But, BSNL
would actually be able to take a lot of the low-income 4G users on its
network from the private telcos. All the private operators want
high-paying customers to increase their ARPU (average revenue per user).
Thus, to capture a large subscriber market share fast, BSNL could offer
services at a considerably lower cost as it does already to attract
low-paying users.
It would be interesting to see just how fast BSNL can expand its 4G
networks throughout the country. The state-run telecom operator has
already received a relief package from the government
to solve issues. But for BSNL to actually make a difference, the
executives and the employees in the company will need to execute things
in a serious manner.
BSNL senior management has been advised by the telecom minister
Ashwini Vaishnaw to tighten things up and leave the "sarkari attitude"
or go home. Basically, the kind of balance that BSNL's 4G network would
be able to create in the Indian telecom industry is something that the
consumers have no idea about. But very soon, we will get to see whether
BSNL can actually make a difference or not. A few reports have suggested
that BSNL could launch PAN India 4G networks in the next 18 to 24
months.
