BSNL is an outdated

It is very common that the telecom agencies have occupied a large space in our
lives but whenever there is a discussion about network service people, most of
the youth talks about the Jio network. Either they have no knowledge of BSNL
and other network service providers or they ignore them by describing the poor
performers. A few years back it was BSNL which was only telecom players in
the country and also the best performer among all the private service providers.
The people were believed that the signal of BSNL was available across the
country and the speed earlier 2G and then 3G was the fastest among all others.
Not only this, that people still remember the devastating rain of Mumbai where
the only network successfully maintained its service and whose signal was
available that was only BSNL. Here entered the Jio, providing free net service
to its customers which changed the whole scenario of network service in the
country. Ironically, there was a gradual drop in the speed of the BSNL network
service as well as of the service. It is also alleged that a propaganda campaign
was launched in the market describing BSNL useless and Jio as the best
network service. Moreover, Jio was providing free network service and it was
like lollipop of free service, which was further extended time and again. The Jio
player played well and launched a campaign against TRAI saying that free
network service being provided by Jio to its customers has been declared illegal
under trade and practices rules and laws. Using this statement of TRAI as an
instrument Jio begin charging a little amount from the customers as monthly
rent. It was planned strategy to go for charging. That was the opportunity the
players of Jio were waiting for. And since then Jio has not only enhanced the
network charges but have also inserted advertisements in its all programs and
other applications, earning millions of rupees. But there is another game plan as
alleged. Jio has installed poles and laid cables for providing Jio fiber network.
BSNL has already been providing this service to its customers but as some
people say that now again there is a considerable drop in the speed of BSNL
fibre network, like this has been in the 3G service to felicitate the entry of Jio.
But the customers of BSNL are complaining that how this dropping in the speed
of BSNL has surfaced and signal has come after the installation of Jio poles.
Now it is a million dollar question that once again BSNL again has to sacrifice
itself and slow its speed of network to make the entry of Jio smoothly in the
field of BSNL. We are waiting to get the answer and just have a look at the
happenings during the entry of Jio in the market of network service providers.
