Extreme delay in BSNL's 4G launching - allow BSNL to share Vodafone Idea's 4G network - BSNLEU writes to the Hon'ble Minister of Communications.

BSNL is unable to compete with Jio and Airtel, because the Company has not yet started its 4G service. Wherever BSNL's 4G service is started, the customers are facing a lot of problems. BSNLEU is continuously demanding that, BSNL should be allowed to utilise the 4G network of Vodafone Idea, for providing 4G service to BSNL's customers. It is important to note that, the Government of India is the biggest shareholder of Vodafone Idea. On 01-10-2024, on the occasion of BSNL's 25th Foundation Day, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hon'ble Minister of Communications has stated that, the one lakh 4G BTSs of BSNL would be installed by June 2025. It has now become clear that, BSNL's PAN India level 4G service will become possible only after June 2025. Under this situation, BSNLEU has once again written letter to the Hon'ble Minister of Communications, fervently appealing to him, to allow BSNL to utilise Vodafone Idea's 4G network and to provide 4G service to its customers.This will be a win-win situation both for BSNL and Vodafone Idea.
