BSNL’s inability to launch 4G service is nothing but total failure of the BSNL Management.

Cancellation of BSNL’s tender, to procure 4G equipments is a very big set-back for the revival of BSNL.  At the same time, BSNL could have very well launched it’s 4G services, even without procuring new 4G equipments. This has not happened only because of the total failure of the BSNL Management. BSNL is already having 49,300 BTSs which are 4G compatible. All these BTSs can be upgraded into 4G BTSs. In addition to this BSNL could have procured another 15,000 BTSs, by issuing add on order to the phase VIII-4 tender. Thus, the BSNL Management could have got ready with 64,300 BTSs, with which BSNL’s Pan India 4G service could have been rolled out. It is a big misfortune that this has not happened only because of the total failure on the part of the BSNL Management.
