09-10-2012:Great achievement in 3rd Circle conference

A grand arrangement was made by our Kharagpur SSA. The conference was conducted at conference hall of Kharagpur GM Office. All serviceTrade Union & Executive Leaders were present and share their views regarding TTAs. We are thankful to them
AGM (HR & Admin) was also present and delivered speech. The conference was inaugurated by AGM (HR &Admin). All the leaders offer to lighten the candle.
After lunch internal session started and discussion took place on the following issues……………………
1. Last year Activity…..
2. Organizational review…..
3. 30%fitment updated news…..why delay in court?
4. JTO LICE status…….
5. New circle body formation….
6. Fund collection…..
7. Increase our unity…..


Why this conference reveals its importance?
            Mind that SNATTA WB first conference was conducted at Victoria Garden without arrangement
2nd circle conference was conducted at CTTC, Salt lake with minimum arrangement.
            But this time SNATTA made circle conference at the conference room of GMT office of Kharagpur with administrative presence and knowledge and almost all unions were present there with proper decorum maintained by Kharagpur SSA leaders.
Although our issues are yet to be solved but DRTTAS through SNATTA is going to be acceptable at all levels. This is our achievement.

05-09-2012:UNITED FORUM OF BSNL UNION?ASSOCIATION called launch hour demonstration on 18 th Sept 2012

United forum of BSNL executives/non executives unanimously decided to hold lunch hour demonstrations throughout the Country on 18th Sept.,12 at BSNL Hqs/ CGMHqs/ SSAHqs to protest against deliberate inaction and failure of BSNL management to take any initiative to complete the process of repatriation of unabsorbed ITS by 30th Sept.,12 in compliance to the directions of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi. The protest also signals a clear warning to DOT that any attempt to allow ITS to continue on deputation/deemed deputation/foreign service etc. in BSNL would be fought tooth and nail by absorbed/recruited executives/non executives of BSNL since such an loose arrangement to appease ITS would be last nail in the coffin of BSNL.  United forum also unanimously decided to fight the issue legally and intensify organizational activities by launching harder organizational actions in the days to come in case DOT decides to go ahead with deemed deputation/foreign service of ITS in BSNL.

05-09-2012: All India Conference at Rajasthan on 27 th and 28 th OCTOBER, 2012


05-09-2012:Top posts in BSNL, MTNL may be reserved for ITS officers......ET


KOLKATA: The telecom department will shortly move a Cabinet note to "encadre" or permanently reserve about 1,100 top managerial slots in state-run BSNL and MTNL for Indian Telecom Service (ITS) officers to stop their exodus. At present, BSNL has medical officers and law enforcement executives in its seven telecom factories who are encadred officers of the Union health and labour ministries.
 
DoT now plans to ring in the concept of encadred officers in BSNL and MTNL's highest echelons by permanently placing Group A officers belonging to the ITS cadre in key management slots in the ranks of DGM and above. All encadred officers will remain in government service till retirement and will earn in line with central pay scales, which is higher than PSU compensation.

"The DoT is examining a proposal to encadre some 1,000-odd top managerial positions in BSNL and another 150-odd in MTNL for ITS officers to encourage them to stay back in these PSUs," said a member of a DoT panel looking into the ITS issue, adding that the government was hopeful since encadrement already existed in BSNL.

The move, however, requires Cabinet approval as BSNL and MTNL were spun off into corporate entities from DoT through cabinet decisions in 1986 and 2000, respectively. There are nearly 1,800 ITS officers, of whom nearly 1,400 were deputed to BSNL 12 years ago when the telco was spun off into a separate corporate entity from DoT. The rest have been on deputation in MTNL since 1986.

Last November, when the communications ministry gave these officers an option to return to government service, virtually everyone opted to return to DoT since central pay is higher than PSU emoluments. Till date, BSNL and MTNL have released only 400 ITS officers but time is running out since a Delhi High Court order requires both telcos to release the remaining officers by September 30.

31-08-2012:ET review: BSNL Penta T-Pad IS701C.....regarding....ET


NEW DELHI: Although delayed, BSNL's entry into the budget tablet is not without reason. At Rs 4,999, its 7-inch tablet is the cheapest one in the market with a capacitive touchscreen.
Surprisingly for the price, the tablet does not skip out on any feature or compromise on the hardware specifications.
The build quality is at par with most other budget tablets. It feels solid to hold and the white finish looks elegant. The 7-inch touchscreen has the standard 800 x 480 pixel resolution and suffers from the same issue as most other budgets tabs - poor viewing. On the bright side, the screen has excellent touch response.
The tablet's onboard mini HDMI port can output at 720p resolution to a connected display - a slight letdown as most other budget tablets output at 1080p resolution.
There is mini USB port with on-the-go connectivity and also a full-size USB 2.0 port to connect flash drives - impressive and unexpected at this price. It also has a charging indicator light, skips on useless hardware buttons for home/back and menu, has large and well-placed volume keys - little additions that made us like the tablet more.
Hardware specifications are similar to the competition with a 1Ghz processor, 512MB RAM and 4GB onboard storage expandable via microSD cards. It runs Google's Android 4.0 operating system in its stock interface and provides full access to Google's Play Store as well.
A front VGA camera is available for video calls. Like other tablets, the output quality from the camera is full of noise and mostly useless. The audio output is shockingly loud and is good enough for a small room to play music.
For the price, the BSNL Penta tablet is really high value for money - it has no match in the sub Rs 5,000 bracket at the moment. The only downside is the 3,000-mAh battery that lasts under 3 hours with continuous video playback.
If you can spend a bit more, consider the Zync Z-990 Plus (Rs 6,490) tablet which has better battery life, a faster 1.5Ghz processor and 1GB of RAM - all combined, you get better performance.

31-08-2012: Coming soon: Video chats on your BSNL landline... ET NEWS

Soon, you can do video calls, chats/conferencing on your old BSNL land phone connection, a feature which will be facilitated after C-DoT upgrades BSNL's existing telecom infrastructure to the Next Generation Network (NGN) -- a process which has started & expected to complete within a year and a half.

ET talked to AKV Sai Jayram, Group Leader, C-DoT, whose team has been working on this cutting edge technology for a couple of years.
C-DoT has also developed a broadband wireless terminal which can provide broadband speeds faster than 3Gnetworks with very low capital and operational expenditure.

31-08-2012: BSNL Board has approved the followings


BSNL Board has approved the following in its meeting held on 28.08.2012.
1. 78.2 % IDA fitment.
2. Recruitment of 2670 TTAs from the market.
3. NE-12 Pay Scale for the non executives.

31-08-2012: Change of Designation Committee meeting has been discontinued by Management. There will not be any new designations for Non Executives in BSNL....

18-08-2012: BSNL loss stood at Rs 8,851 cr during last fiscal: Govt


The financial loss of state-run telecom firm, BSNL, touched Rs 8,851 crore during 2011—12, Parliament was informed on Friday.
The figures presented by Minister of State for Communications and IT, Milind Deora, in a written reply in Rajya Sabha shows losses by BSNL during the last three financial years starting 2009—10 when it reported loss of Rs 1,823 crore.
BSNL’s profit had started declining continuously from Rs 10,183 crore in 2004—05 before showing a loss in 2009—10.
During 2010—11, BSNL losses rose to Rs 6,384 crore mainly due to hefty outgo on employees’ salary and expenses borne by the PSU for procuring 3G and BWA spectrum.
BSNL officials had attributed widening of the losses mainly on account of payment made to the government to procure 3G and BWA licenses for which it paid a total of Rs 18,500 crore.
BSNL has proposed to surrender some spectrum and seeking refund for the same but no decision has yet been taken by Department of Telecommunications.
The total revenues of the company at the end of FY’11 were Rs 28,876 crore.
BSNL has submitted a proposal of Voluntary Retirement Scheme as part of its efforts to revive the loss—making company. The government is yet to approve it.
