2: Indeed a good move. But, do you know the fact
that they will make tough to subscribe this
service, they will not make it's availability
easy so that you are forced to go and pay
twice or thrice to get same service from any
private operator.

technologies in a rapid stream...

4:But this also they will launch in all the
major cities only. Either BSNL should give
this service to only rural areas not
including municipalities or they should put
restriction on private operators to give for
all rural areas also. Then only all common
people will get all facilities.
