The new incarnation of our age-old department of telecommunication will be something that we have to watch in the next few years to come. This massive PSU which was corporatized a few months backs, in spite of great protest from the Union workers. Who probably felt that this move by the government might mean that they will have to start working and be always in the fear that they would loose their jobs if they did not show results. BSNL has tremendous potential in spreading the IT revolution in India and it must play a very important role if India were to develop as a great power in information technology. It already has the infrastructure and skilled manpower. In the new avtar as BSNL the management must tighten their belts. It can turn out to be a very successful company and a pride of India.
