While at present the connectivity speed of BSNL broadband connection is two megabits per second (MBPS), the new technology will enable connectivity at a speed of eight MBPS. The IPTV service will enable access to content providers who will offer "content on demand." A `set top box,' either on a rental basis or outright purchase, will be provided to consumers to access this facility. To be launched in 789 cities all over the country shortly, the requisite infrastructure was being put in place, a senior official said here on Monday. The feasibility study of the project had been completed and the equipment was being delivered to the sites for installation. Madurai would be the base for the services offered in and around the city. It would be provided based on parameters such as density of customers in the vicinity of BSNL telephone exchanges and number of `Bfone' subscribers. In the initial stage, the project would be implemented using copp source http://www.hindu.com/2007/03/14/stories/2007031422680100.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ramchi 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 I really doubt whether Indian subscribers need 8 Mbps speed! Even if they offer this speed for small business segment still there will be an upload/download cap for sure. Most of the Indian providers are like that and BSNL is known for its legacy mind-set.
