Just came across this article today on The Economic Times. I was stunned, the GoI is planning to provide free broadband access with access speeds of 2Mbps. This is on the lines of the free municipal bonds that exist in the US. So, what does this mean for the ISPs, how are they going to survive? We will have to wait and watch the reaction of ISPs to this decision.
Since BSNL and MTNL will be the ones providing this service it will surely affect their business as well. But, I think that this will come with the usual caveat of data transfer limit that will be imposed. So, MTNL and BSNL will not earn revenue from its lowest spectrum of subscribers who subscribe to those data transfer limit plans.
