Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar<\/a> Prasad<\/strong> has said that resolving the issue of call drops is top priority, and that while the government is willing to take 10 steps towards the telecom industry, the latter must walk 20 steps forward. In an interview<\/a> with ET’s Anandita Singh Mankotia and Romit Guha<\/strong>, Prasad outlines his ministry’s focus areas, including revival of BSNL and MTNL, implementation of Bharat Net, introduction of new technologies, BPOs in rural areas, and implementation of postal payments bank. Edited excerpts:
\n
\nWhat is your priority now?<\/strong>
\n
\nResolving call drops. I have said to operators, please upgrade your network, if it needs investment then invest. I am happy that data services are rising, but let us not ignore quality of voice networks. Users can’t suffer. The operators must not destroy the image they have created with their hard work. They are credited with bringing the mobile revolution into this country but a good consumer service is critical for their own success. I am happy they have started to improve their networks, but a lot more needs to be done.
\n
\nThe industry and the government need to work together. I am willing to do whatever is required but they must do their job. I am willing to walk ten steps, they must walk 20.
\n
\nBSNL has reported operating profit for the first time in many years. When will it fully revive?<\/strong>
\n
\nBSNL was in a profit of Rs 10,000 crore when the Vajpayee government left office. When BJP returned, it was in a loss of over Rs 8,000 crore. For more than seven years, BSNL was not allowed to function. Today, I am very happy that they have an operating profit ofRs 672 crore and their revenue has increased by 4.16%, the highest in the last five years. This is a modest beginning, but in the next two to three years I expect it to turn around.
\n
\nWhat about MTNL?<\/strong>
\n
\nMTNL is also improving, they are strengthening their networks, undertaking other business activities. Soon, in a year, there should be some improvement there too. My priority here was to first put the department of telecom (Sanchar Bhawan) and the PSUs in order. Sanchar Bhawan had become infamous in the past but now you will see a different sense of optimism and confidence in the officials. This place is now free of lobbyists and middlemen. My officers have a sense of faith that they can work in peace without any interference from anywhere and purely in the interest of the nation.
\n
\nAlmost all regulatory issues have been resolved. What are your next priorities?<\/strong>
\n
\nYes, most issues are resolved and we are now waiting for the regulator to give its recommendation on spectrum caps. Most goals I had set for myself in the first year are accomplished or moving towards fulfilment but, a lot more needs to be done. Fruition of new mobile technologies is important for Digital India to succeed. In electronic manufacturing, we were at only Rs 11,000 crore last year; today the value of proposals has crossedRs 1.14 lakh crore. Foxconn has come to India and employed over 4,000 people. Talking of the future, postal payment bank, Bharat Net and success of BPOs in rural areas are important.
\n
\nLast, but not the least, is optical fibre network—18 chief ministers have come forward saying they want to be a part of the special purpose vehicle.
\n
\nHow is the postal department gearing up for becoming a payments bank?<\/strong>
\n
For payments bank, the postal department is getting a lot of suitors. A total of 23 institutions, including the World Bank, Barclays<\/a>, Deutsche Bank<\/a> and ICICI, have expressed interest. The postal department has 1.25 lakh post offices, obviously a very attractive network. We will supplement the postal bank network with common service centres (CSCs).
\n
\nFor digital inclusion, CSCs will play a critical role. We currently have 1.40 lakh CSCs and we plan to scale this up to 2 lakh in the coming year, and will also ask the postal department to work with them to convert all the 1.25 lakh post offices to CSCs. They will do emarketing, e-insurance, e-service, e-ticketing and computer literacy. In one year, the number of CSCs will go up to 3.25 lakh.
\n
\nWhat was the response to the proposal of setting up BPOs in rural areas?<\/strong>
\n
Overwhelming. We had invited expression of interest for 48,000 seats, distributed among all states as per the census, excluding the digitally-rich areas of Chennai, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Noida, etc. Against 48,000 seats, we have received expression of interest for 1.25 lakh seats at 190 location across the country. Leading companies such as TCS, Snapdeal<\/a>, Paytm and Data Infosys have expressed a strong interest. \n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":50070496,"title":"Micromax annual revenues cross Rs 10,000 crore in 7 years; may pip Sony in India soon","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/micromax-annual-revenues-cross-rs-10000-crore-in-7-years-may-pip-sony-in-india-soon\/50070496","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":50070503,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Industry & government need to work together to resolve call drop issue: Ravi Shankar Prasad","synopsis":"Ravi Shankar Prasad has said that resolving the issue of call drops is top priority, and that while the government is willing to take 10 steps towards the telecom industry, the latter must walk 20 steps forward.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/industry-government-need-to-work-together-to-resolve-call-drop-issue-ravi-shankar-prasad","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_link":"\/author\/479231328\/anandita-singh-mankotia","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479231328.cms?width=250&height=250","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479231328,"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_seo_name":"anandita-singh-mankotia","designation":"Editor","agency":false}},{"author_name":"Romit Guha","author_link":"\/author\/479232631\/romit-guha","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479232631.cms?width=250&height=250","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479232631,"author_name":"Romit Guha","author_seo_name":"romit-guha","designation":"Correspondent","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2015-12-07 08:36:47","lastupd":"2015-12-07 11:45:15","breadcrumbTags":["Ravi Shankar","policy","interview","Barclays","Deutsche Bank","SnapDeal","call drop"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/industry-government-need-to-work-together-to-resolve-call-drop-issue-ravi-shankar-prasad"}}" data-authors="[" anandita singh mankotia","romit guha"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2015-12-07" data-index="article_1">

通讯和信息技术部长Ravi Shankar普拉萨德说,解决这一问题的下降是首要任务,和,虽然政府愿意采取10步向电信行业,后者必须走20步向前。在一个面试与ET的Anandita辛格Mankotia Romit古哈普拉萨德,概述了他的部门的重点领域,包括复兴BSNL和MTNL巴拉特网的实现,引入新技术,在农村地区的业务流程外包,实现邮政支付银行。编辑摘录:

你现在的重点是什么?

解决滴。我说过运营商,请升级您的网络,如果需要大量的投资,那么投资。我很高兴数据服务正在上升,但我们不能忽视语音网络的质量。用户无法承受。运营商必须不破坏图像创建他们的辛勤工作。他们带来移动革命到这个国家,但是一个好的消费服务为自己的成功至关重要。我很高兴他们已经开始提高他们网络,但是需要做更多。

行业和政府需要一起工作。我愿意做什么就做什么是必需的,但他们必须完成他们的工作。我愿意走十个步骤,他们必须走20。

BSNL首次报告了营业利润在许多年。什么时候能完全恢复?

BSNL在获利10000卢比瓦杰帕伊政府下台。人民党返回时,它是在一个损失超过8000卢比。七年多来,BSNL不允许函数。今天,我很高兴他们有营业利润我们672卢比的和他们的收入增加了4.16%,在过去的五年里最高的。这是一个温和的开始,但是在未来两到三年内我希望扭转。

MTNL呢?

MTNL也改善,加强他们的网络,进行其他业务活动。很快,一年,应该有一些改善。我的首要任务是把电信部门(Sanchar巴旺)和电源。Sanchar巴旺过去变得臭名昭著,但现在你会看到一个不同的乐观和自信感的官员。这个地方现在是免费的说客和中间人。我的官员有信心,他们可以在和平工作没有任何干扰和纯粹的利益的国家。

几乎所有的监管问题已经得到解决。你的下一个重点是什么?

是的,大多数问题都解决,我们现在正等待监管机构给其推荐频谱帽。大部分的目标我设定在第一年完成或走向成就,但是需要做更多。实现的新移动技术对数字印度成功很重要。在电子制造业,我们在去年只有11000卢比;今天的价值提议crossedRs 1.14十万的卢比。富士康已经到了印度,雇佣了超过4000人。谈到未来,邮政银行付款,巴拉特网和农村地区的业务流程外包的成功是很重要的。

最后但不是最少,光纤网络18首席部长们挺身而出,说他们想成为一个特殊目的机构的一部分。

邮政部门是如何准备成为一个支付银行吗?

支付银行,邮政部门很多追求者。共有23个机构,包括世界银行,巴克莱(Barclays),德意志银行(Deutsche Bank)ICICI,表达了兴趣。邮政部门1.25十万的邮局,显然是一个非常有吸引力的网络。我们将补充邮政储蓄银行网络与公共服务中心(二者)。

对于数字包容,二者将发挥至关重要的作用。我们目前有1.40十万的二者,我们计划规模这2款车在未来一年,并还将要求邮政部门与他们合作将1.25十万的邮局二者。他们将做本,e-insurance e-service,电子客票和计算机扫盲。在一年内,二者的数量将上升到3.25十万卢比。

是什么反应在农村地区建立业务流程外包的建议吗?

压倒性的。我们邀请了对48000个席位,分布在所有国家的人口普查,排除digitally-rich地区钦奈,古尔加翁,孟买,海德拉巴,诺伊达,等。对48000个席位,我们已经收到对1.25全国多数席位在190位置。TCS等领先企业Snapdeal、Paytm和数据印孚瑟斯也表达了强烈兴趣。
