BSNL is just providing a boost to Private Telcos for Years..

BSNL has been providing a boost to private telecom companies for years now. The more its 4G network services are delayed, the more private telecom companies will benefit. BSNL has also officially confirmed that its 4G network services will be launched in the second half of 2023. With the kind of delays that we have seen with BSNL so far, one can't be sure of the promise of timelines from BSNL. So, the project could be well delayed into 2024 as well.

What would be funny is that by 2024, the private telecom companies would have majorly rolled out 5G to most parts of the country. Many users would start switching to 5G from 4G. At that point, BSNL would be embarrassingly trying to launch 4G for consumers.
