"This unique technology has been deployed for the first time in our country. Through this BSNL will usher in a new era of growth in rural areas. This technology offers broadband speed of 7 Mbps at a distance of 15kms," said Pilot.

The high speed wireless broadband connectivity will offer video conferencing, enabling tele-medicine and tele-education, besides providing other services like payment of utility bills, issue of birth certificates, land records and vehicle registration.

The minister further said that this project will be associated with all the 'common service centres' in rural areas, which are associated with e-Governance projects started by the state governments. In the first phase, BSNL would cover 1000 block headquarters across the country and the remaining block headquarters will be connected through 50,000 common service centres in next phase.

The rural common service centres are part of the Bharat Nirman Programme of the UPA government.

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.

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.
