BSNL’s 4G launching getting terribly delayed - customers leaving massively - BSNLEU writes to the Hon’ble Minister for Communications.

In May, 2023, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Minister for Communications told the media that, BSNL would launch it’s 4G service within a few weeks and that BSNL’s 4G network would be upgradated into 5G by November-December. However, the bitter fact is that, BSNL’s 4G launching is nowhere in sight. The 4G equipments to be supplied by the TCS have not even completed their field trials. Under this situation, lakhs of customers are leaving BSNL every month. In August, 2023, 22,20,654 customers have left BSNL. In September, 2023, 23,26,751  customers have left BSNL. BSNL’s revival would become extremely difficult if customers continue to leave BSNL massively. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the Hon’ble Minister for Communications, seeking his intervention to ensure immediate launching of BSNL’s 4G.
