HISTORY OF BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LTD.(BSNL)
BSNL came into existence on 1 October 2000. Earlier all telecom services mainly Landline service were being provided by Government through Department of Telecommunication(DOT), but to promote private players to bring new technologies in telecommunications ,and give them a fair chance of doing business Government left direct involvement in Telecom sector and formed Public Sector Unit named BSNL and MTNL(For Delhi and Mumbai) .
Contribution of BSNL in Telecommunication
When BSNL was formed it was only working in Landline while new telecom players started mobile services. BSNL started mobile services in 2005 . BSNL took internet to even to far villages and remote areas where private companies were not providing services. BSNL launched 3G services in 2010 nationwide. Execution of all government schemes like VPT(Village punchyat telephone) or Village PCO to Broadband KIOSK . BSNL laid optical fiber upto to every Telephone exchange .
Financial Status of BSNL
BSNL was continuously in profit upto financial year 2008-2009. BSNL reported loss first time in year 2009-10 of Rs 1800 crore .Thereafter its financial conditions deteriorated continuously .In the auction of 3G spectrum BSNl was not allowed to participate but BSNL was forced pay spectrum charges at Maximum auctioned rate in all Circles India .BSNl paid 18500.38 crore Rs as spectrum charges. While private operators auctioned spectrum as per their requirement. All policy decisions of BSNL , regarding purchase of new technology ,new projects are taken by DOT and cabinet itself. So delay in implementation of new technology and projects, large number of unskilled staff and poor support from Government led to financial crisis in BSNL . Since 2015 BSNL showed the sign of revival and booked operation profits but with the entry of Reliance JIO and agressive marketting and freebies telecom market shattered . Revenu of all telecom operators fell drastically .Several small telecom players not able repay their loans shut their business. Reliance, AIRCEL, Tata tleservices, shut their telecom business. Vodafone and IDEA merged their business to sustain in the market.
Even BSNL revenue has dropped drastically although its market share increased in this period.
FUTURE OF BSNL
Future of BSNL depends fully on the intention of Government , its stand on BSNL revival policy. As technology is changed very rapidly , BSNL was never allowed to upgrade its network timely thus always lagging to private companies. BSNL is very keen launch 4G as already all existing operators providing 4G services , Government has not taken its decision since 2017 and just delaying 4G spectrum to BSNL . While BSNL wants to become first operator to launch 5G in India , government is not willing to provide 4G spectrum , how it will launch 5G it is a matter of concern.
BSNL launched 3G in 2010 but could not provide it nationwide till 2018 due to dependence on DOT and Government for every policy decision.
