| BSNL Data Card for Wireless Internet |
|
 State owned BSNL which is trying hard to retain existing customer base in Mobile and Landline verticals just a while ago announced that it will focus on Data services as well.
Tata's controlled VSNL last week announced that Data Service will be a core competency and it expects significant part of its revenue to come from Data services for which VSNL is willing to expand into tier-II cities of India.
BSNL has gone an extra mile by announcing that it wants to bundle EDGE/GPRS PC Data Card with its cellular mobile connections and has sought offers from companies[PC and Laptop Retailers] willing to offer this. BSNL is a late entrant into the segment as Reliance Communications and Bharti Airtel already have tie-ups with PC retailers. GSM service providers are at an advantage because they can offer International roaming which may not be necessary because of the presence of local Wi-Fi Hotspots in many countries.
BSNL will also provide Wireless internet over its CDMA network using NIC or EVDO Card. I honestly don't understand what kind of service consumers get from a government owned agency which is very laid back. |

I have never under estimated BSNL. I think the broadband service DATAONE is the best and economical in the country. Reliance Netconnect service is too expensive( Rs.36/- hour ) and not at all comparable with DATAONE speed. Hail to BSNL, Govt owned company.

Monopoly is extremely harmful for consumers. When BSNL had monopoly in landline telephones it kept increasing the charges, which forced millions of middle and lower income group consumers to surrender their phones.
Now that other players are in the market and Govt. threatening BSNL officers to sell off the PSU, they are back to their work! Now they are charging reasonable prices. Still, one who had betrayed the consumers earlier will have to work hard in convincing the consumers about its trustworthiness and win them.
Mr. Dayanidhi Maran had done a great job by kicking out all the General Managers and Commercial Managers from their offices who were responsible for bringing such a bad name to the company.
