GOOD NEWS FOR BSNL
Finally the Minister for Communications has announced in parliament yesterday that government proposes to invest huge sums in BSNL for improving the networking. It is also revealed that nothing precious was done to improve networking during 2009-2013. The former CMD, Mr. Upadhyay, when took over charge accused his predecessor of not taking any action to improve the service. Now the minister himself says that Mr. Upadhyay also failed in this direction.

NATIONAL PORTABILITY FOR MOBILE
WHO ARE THE GAINERS AND LOSERS?
When circle portability was allowed, large number of BSNL mobile subscribers migrated to private cellular companies, thanks to the inefficient service being provided by the BSNL. Kerala circle was the only exception. Now, the service in Kerala also has become unsatisfactory. As such, BSNL may lose some more mobile subscribers.
Private Companies lure the subscribers with many attractive offers. Whereas, the BSNL is withdrawing some good offers given earlier; that too without any proper announcement.

WILL BE CHEAPER...
WHO ARE THE BENEFICIERIES?
BSNL and MTNL who have provided 98% of landphones will get less revenue.
They are the losers.

STD CALLS WILL BE CHEAPER
Long distance calls, mainly made from landline phones, are set to become cheaper. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Tuesday announced a cut in carriage charges in this regard, which an operator pays another for carrying a call, to 35 paise a minute from the current 65p a minute. ..... (BUSINESS TIMES)
THE NEVER ENDING DEPARTMENTAL PROCESS IS THE REASON FOR DELAY!
ERP FAILS FOR PENSIONERS ONLY?
It is reported that in many of the Circles the medical bills submitted by pensioners are
not cleared for last six months or even more.
Failure of ERP is pointed out as the main reason. Some officers say that proper training is not imparted to the staff.
BSNL facing a financial crisis has spent about Rs 5000 CRORE on ERP.
ERP is gone live in 30 Circles. It will go live in remaining Circles by August 2015, according to Corporate Office of BSNL.
But, there is no programme to impart training to all concerned.
After spending huge amount for installation and maintenance and wasting time,
Corporate Office has issued a circular yesterday calling for volunteers to give training to other Executives.
If the problem is with ERP and lack of training, how, then, the medical bills of serving staff are cleared and those of pensioners only are kept pending?
ERP cannot discriminate serving and retired staff. Only human brains can do that.
Retired people deserve preference in the matter.
It is inhuman to keep their medical claims pending.

78.2% IDA CASECom. R L Kapoor, our Legal Committee member from Delhi reports:
“It is understood that the Estt. Section of Department of Telecom has finalized the reply to the queries raised by Member (Finance) on the proposals. The queries are mainly about arrears from 1-1-2007 to 10-6-2013, pension liability beyond 60% of the revenue from BSNL to Govt, impact on the MTNL pensioners etc. Suitable reply/clarification has been prepared to these queries. The replies will go to Finance Section within a day or two.”
The exercise of asking query by one Section and replying
by another Section in Telecom Department is being repeated.
It delays the case. BSNL pensioners all over the country are restive.
IMPRESSIVE PARLIAMENT MARCH
We congratulate the entire service staff in BSNL and their unions for staging an impressive Parliament March yesterday in New Delhi.
Well done, but this may not be enough to win over the customers and to save BSNL.

The former CMD, Mr. Upadhyay, when took over charge accused his predecessor of not taking any action to improve the service. Now the minister himself says that Mr. Upadhyay also failed in this direction.
But, one thing former CMD has done: He introduced ERP spending about
Rs 5000 crores. And the pensioners all over India are not getting their medical bills passed because of the ERP.
NATIONAL PORTABILITY FOR MOBILE
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has taken yet another important decision, within few days.
Now, from 3-5-2015, the Mobile subscribers can change their service provider anywhere in India, without changing their mobile number. This Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is allowed within the home circle only now. MNP becomes national from May 2015.
Only those who change their residence permanently may require this facility. Mostly youngsters who go to other states for job etc. Anyway, the customers will generally welcome this new regulation.
When circle portability was allowed, large number of BSNL mobile subscribers migrated to private cellular companies, thanks to the inefficient service being provided by the BSNL. Kerala circle was the only exception. Now, the service in Kerala also has become unsatisfactory. As such, BSNL may lose some more mobile subscribers.
Private Companies lure the subscribers with many attractive offers. Whereas, the BSNL is withdrawing some good offers given earlier; that too without any proper announcement.

STD CALLS, CALLS TO AND FROM LANDPHONES WILL BE CHEAPER...
WHO ARE THE BENEFICIERIES?
No doubt, the Customers who use landphones are the first beneficieries.
Private companies have not provided much land phones. So they do not lose much.
On the other hand, they will be the second beneficieries.
WHO ARE THE LOSERS?BSNL and MTNL who have provided 98% of landphones will get less revenue.
They are the losers.

Dear Comrades,
We reproduce hereunder a posting appeared in the website of
All India BSNL Exectuve Association for the ifnormation of our viewers:
We observe that many officers at the top speak nicely when leaders of pensioners meet them.
But, nothing concrete is done. We do not like to comment further on this issue at this stage.
From the website of AIBSNLEA
" 23.02.2015: Meeting with Member (Services), DoT GS and GS, AGS AIRBSNLEWA Shri Kishan Singh and Shri Rakesh Sriwastava met Shri Rajeev Aggarwal, Member (Services) DoT and requested for an early reply to Member (Finance) on 78.2% IDA fixation for BSNL Pensioners. Member (Services) appreciated our concern and mentioned that the issue will be resolved but getting delayed due to departmental process. He also expressed his concern that this issue could have been settled along with BSNL serving employees itself however, he advised to meet and discuss with DDG (Estt) for the early comments."
