This article I wrote appeared in The New Indian Express on 3rd April 2019. Teh article mainly looks at the following:
1) Productivity of BSNL is extremely low compared to Indian private telcos or even Chinese state owned telcos.
2) Bring professional board similar to Telstra or British Telecom.
3) BSNL has physical infra that must be leveraged , leasing or selling.
4) Right sizing is the key and it must be based on industry productivity benchmarks
5) Reskill employees and get them on the newer technologies
We need one genuine attempt from the government before giving it up.
