\"\"KOLKATA | NEW DELHI: Private sector players could be in for a Rs 1.5 lakh crore revenue bonanza by 2020 if the government accepts the telecom regulator’s proposals on implementing the national broadband project, BharatNet<\/a>. They, however, are sceptical about potential challenges over right of way (RoW) to lay cables and want these to be ironed out by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to ensure their active participation.
\n
“If Trai’s (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) recommendations are implemented, and the government ensures free RoW to private sector participants, as suggested by the telecom regulator, the revenue potential from broadband services could attain very significant levels by 2020, and be in the Rs 1-1.5 lakh crore range,” Broadband India
Forum<\/a> (BIF) president TV Ramachandran told ET. This estimate though could very easily be exceeded, given the huge potential these services have, said Ramachandran.

The BIF represents companies such as
Airtel<\/a>, Vodafone, Telenor, RCom, Qualcomm<\/a>, Ericsson, Intel, Marvell, UTStarcom and BSNL. Hemant Joshi, partner at Deloitte<\/a>, Haskins & Sells, agreed that the revenue potential could be staggering if RoW can be done away with, since it is the biggest hurdle and the costliest part of laying optical fibre across India.
\n
\n“If the RoW challenge is addressed, BharatNet as India’s principal broadband backbone, can be a potential GDP multiplier, equivalent to 2-4 times the $18 billion that is proposed to be invested in the Digital India project,” said Joshi. This, he said, effectively means BharatNet can be a trigger for adding between $36 billion and $72 billion to India’s GDP in coming years, although the pace of the multiplier effect would hinge on the speed of national broadband network rollout.
\n
\nIn its recent recommendations on speeding up the Rs 74,000 crore BharatNet project, Trai had listed RoW as a factor considered to be a major risk by the private sector, and had urged DoT to pave the way for “a guaranteed provision of free RoW as a necessary and non-negotiable precondition for successful deployment of the national broadband project”.
\n
Bharat-Net is being implemented as the main high-speed Internet backbone for delivering government services to the common man under Digital India initiative. Search giant
Google<\/a>, which had evinced interest in providing inexpensive Internet access across India, called for steps to boost broadband speeds of existing consumers.
\n
\n“We welcome any move towards facilitating multiple technology options and increasing availability of licensed and unlicensed spectrum in order to grow the broadband infrastructure,” said a Google spokeswoman in response to ET’s queries. Facebook and Microsoft, which are both reportedly vying to deploy their alternative technologies to offer last-mile broadband access in remote parts, didn’t respond to ET’s queries.
\n
\nIndia’s mobile carriers say they need more clarity on Trai’s prescription for speeding up BharatNet, a project that has repeatedly failed to meet delivery timelines over the past three years and suffered a threefold cost escalation to Rs 74,000 crore. “We need clarity on who bears end-to-end responsibility for connectivity for quality of service and service-level agreements,” said Rajan Mathews, director-general of the Cellular Operators Association.
\n
The Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India (
AUSPI<\/a>) is not comfortable with the BOOT model suggested by TRAI for implementing BhartNet as it does not favour the \"ownership configuration\" or ownership remaining with the private parties.
\n
“Our view is that the PPP model is unlikely to work in the case of BharatNet as the returns from the project are very uncertain, and distant. In that situation it is unlikely that many private
industry<\/a> players will have the appetite to take on the risks involved in bidding for it,” AUSPI secretary general Ashok Sud said.

加尔各答|新德里:私人部门的玩家可能会1.5十万的卢比巨额收入到2020年,如果政府接受电信监管机构的建议实施国家宽带项目,BharatNet。然而,他们怀疑潜在挑战的方式(行)铺设电缆和想要解决这些由电信部(点),以确保他们的积极参与。

“如果火车(印度)的电信监管局建议实施,政府确保私营部门参与者自由行,电信监管机构所显示的收入潜力宽带服务将在2020年达到非常显著的水平,并在1 - 1.5十万的卢比,“宽带印度论坛拉马钱德兰告诉ET (BIF)总统电视。这估计虽然很容易可以超过,考虑到这些服务有巨大潜力,拉马钱德兰说。


BIF代表等公司附近的旅馆信实电信、沃达丰、Telenor,高通、爱立信、英特尔、Marvell, ut斯达康和BSNL。赫曼特乔希,合伙人德勤,哈斯金斯&销售,认为收入方面的潜力将是惊人的,如果行可以废除,因为它是最大的障碍和最昂贵的铺设光纤在印度的一部分。

“如果行挑战是解决,BharatNet像印度的主要宽带骨干,可能是一个潜在GDP乘数,相当于180亿美元的2 - 4倍,提出数字印度项目投资,”乔希说。他说,这实际上意味着BharatNet可以触发增加360亿美元和720亿美元之间,印度的GDP在未来几年,尽管乘数效应的速度将取决于全国宽带网络推出的速度。

在最近建议加快74000卢比BharatNet项目,火车已经列出行因素被认为是一个主要的风险由私营部门,并敦促点为“保证条款自由行作为一个必要的和不可转让的成功部署国家宽带计划”的先决条件。

Bharat-Net被实现为主要高速互联网骨干提供政府服务数字印度倡议下的普通人。搜索巨头谷歌,表现的兴趣提供廉价的互联网访问印度各地,呼吁现有消费者的措施来提高宽带速度。

“我们欢迎任何转向促进多个技术方案和提高可用性的许可和授权频谱为了发展宽带基础设施,“说,谷歌发言人在回应等的查询。据报道,Facebook和微软,都竞相部署他们的替代技术在偏远地区提供的宽带接入,没有回复等的查询。

印度移动运营商表示,他们需要更多的清晰在火车的加速BharatNet处方,一个项目一再未能满足交付时间过去三年和三倍成本升级74000卢比。“我们需要明确谁来承担端到端负责连接的服务质量和服务水平协议,”Rajan马修斯说,手机运营商协会的干事。

协会统一印度的电信服务提供商(AUSPI)是不舒服与引导模型提出了实现BhartNet火车因为它不支持“所有权配置”或所有权剩余的私人聚会。

“我们的观点是,PPP模式不太可能工作在BharatNet作为项目的回报非常不确定,和遥远。在这种情况下不太可能许多私人行业玩家将有兴趣承担风险参与竞标,”AUSPI秘书长Ashok Sud说。

首席执行官阿南德•阿加瓦尔光纤电缆制造商斯特里特工业公司技术,寻求收入保障上有歧义货币化将如何发生,和程度的收入私人球员可以赚,尤其是在农村地区。
