Corporate media trying to fool the people on the 4G tender issue.

News is being prominently spread by the corporate media (Economic Times dated 06^th July, 2020) that, Tech Mahindra will bid in BSNL’s tender for the supply of 4G equipments. It is also being reported that, Tech Mahindra will partner with the ITI, in supplying 4G equipments to BSNL. There is no doubt that, Tech Mahindra is the 5^th largest Software Company in India. But, it is not having the technology to manufacture 4G equipments. We also know that, ITI has been working only as an agent, for earning commission, in buying Telecom equipments from MNCs and supplying it to BSNL. ITI is also not having any technology in the manufacturing of mobile equipments. 

Under these circumstances, the corporate media is only trying to fool the general public. Such wrong news is being spread, only to justify the government’s action of cancelling  BSNL’s 4G tender. The corporate media should come out and tell the people which Indian Company has developed 4G technology and is capable of fulfilling BSNL’s requirements in rolling out 4G network.
