NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force has signed an agreement with telecom PSUs BSNL and MTNL under which the two players would provide a host of services at concessional rates while IAF would give space for installation of towers and equipment.

With the agreement coming into effect, the two public sector units will get "Most Preferred Service Provider" by Indian Air Force and provide space to them for installation of telecom towers and other telecom equipment, it said.
Telecom services will include CUG facility on mobile phones and value added services on mobile and landline phones, optic fiber connectivity as per IAF requirements, it added.
"System integration solution will also be explored among telcos and Indian Air Force,"the statement said.
The joint agreement with IAF is also a step towards synchronising their businesses as the Department of Telecommunications is examining the feasibility of merging telecom PSUs ITI and MTNL with BSNL in line.
The Board for Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises has recommended that state-run BSNL, which operates in 20 circles, should merge its counterpart MTNL, which has operation on two metros, and telecom equipment manufacturer ITI with itself -- a move that will help turnaround the loss-making telecom giant.
While government is working on the process to merging these PSU, both BSNL and MTNL have started synergising their operations.....ET

13-05-2012:BSNL-MTNL losses to rise 50% in 2011-12...(.Submitted by Trisha Thomas on Wed, 05/09/2012 - 14:24) from RTN...

State-owned mobile operators MTNL and BSNL are estimated to have increased their losses by 50% to more Rs 13,000 crore last year, according to numbers from DoT.
The bigger company, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd or BSNL had a loss of about Rs 6,300 crore in 2010-11 and is likely to see it zoom to about Rs 9,700 crore last year. During the first nine months alone, the loss was Rs 7,150 crore.
MTNL, which is also listed on the stock markets, will see its losses mount to about Rs 3,600 crore for last year, from Rs 2,800 crore a year ago, at a slower pace than BSNL.
The losses are increasing despite control over costs.
MTNL, for example, cut its employees salary from Rs 5000 crore in 2009-10 to about Rs 3300 crore last year. But MTNL has been hit hard by rising interest expenses, which went from almost zero three years ago to about 900 crore last year.
The primary reason for the woes of the companies is a drastic fall in subscriber revenues.
In case of BSNL, total revenue fell from about Rs 36,000 crore in 2008-09 to an annualized Rs 28,000 crore last year. (See chart below, showing income and expenditure of BSNL for the last four years.)
For MTNL, it was even more drastic. From an income of Rs 5,250 crore in 2008-09, subscriber revenues fell to an estimated Rs 3,600 crore last year (see chart above.)
BSNL's market share in mobile has fallen from 19% in March 2009 to 12.75% in March 2012....( Media.......FROM RTN.....)

06-05-2012: Crisis brews in BSNL as telecom officers opt out ...after Delhi High Court , ITS will opt out from BSNL ..Media NEWS.. Business Line.( Click for details...)...

New Delhi, May 4: 

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd seems to be heading towards a management crisis with almost all of the 1,700 Indian Telecom Services (ITS) Officers deciding to remain government employees. The ITS officers were given two weeks by the Delhi High Court to exercise their option; the deadline expired on May 1.

“We were hoping to get a fresh offer from the Government post the High Court order, but since we haven't received any communication in this regard, 99 per cent of the ITS officers have decided against getting absorbed in BSNL,” a Indian Telecom Services Association spokesperson told Business Line.

Promotion rules

The officers have declined to get absorbed in BSNL because the promotion rules are weaker than in the Government in terms of moving up in pay scale. There are also issues related to pension benefits. In addition, the ITS officers wanted the absorption offer to be made applicable as on date, instead of 2005, to get benefit of the Fifth Pay Commission.

A top BSNL official said that the PSU may move a petition in the court seeking more time to relieve the officers. “We are yet to formally receive the options exercised by the ITS officers. Then we will have 15 days to take legal advice. But since the ITS officers are managing some key functions in BSNL and MTNL, we are looking to approach the court seeking flexibility in relieving them,” the BSNL official said.

But non-ITS executives in BSNL say that the exit by ITS officers will not have any significant impact. “There are other capable talent within the organisation. There are three lakh employees who have opted to get absorbed in BSNL, so ITS officers should also show commitment to the PSU. Every organisation has to have its own structure,” said Mr G. L. Jogi, President, Sanchar Nigam Executive Association. ..Business Line
