DoT may give BSNL a Rs 10,000-crore breather
soon
The telecom department may allow struggling Bharat Sanchar Nigam a breather by excluding Rs 10,000
crore it is likely to get from the Universal Services
Obligation Fund (USOF) for
implementing two government telecom ventures while computing licence fee.
State-run BSNL is likely to receive the amount from
the USOF kitty over next three years for rolling out mobile networks in India's
naxalite hotbeds and handling 70% of the trenching and cable laying costs in
the national broadband venture, popularly known as the national fibre optic
network (NOFN) project.
