The selected concessionaire (Private Sector Partner) is expected to provide reliable, high speed broadband services as per pre-defined Services Level Agreement (SLA).\u00a0 Extension of reach of BharatNet to all inhabited villages with reliable, quality, high speed broadband will enable better access of e-services offered by various Central and State Government agencies.\u00a0 It will also enable online education, telemedicine, skill development, e-commerce and other applications of broadband. It is expected that revenue will be generated from different sources including proliferation of broadband connections to individuals &amp; institutions, sale of dark fibre, Fiberization of mobile towers, e-commerce etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Proliferation of broadband in rural areas will bridge the rural-urban divide of digital access and accelerate the achievement of Digital India. The penetration and proliferation of broadband is also expected to increase direct and indirect employment and income generation.\u00a0 The States where PPP Model is envisaged, will facilitate free Right of Way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BharatNet PPP Model will bring in following consumer friendly advantages:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(a)\u00a0\u00a0 Use of innovative technology by the Private Sector Provider for the consumers;<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0\u00a0 High quality of service and Service Level to consumers;<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0\u00a0 Faster deployment of network and quick connectivity to consumers;<\/p>\n<p>(d)\u00a0\u00a0 Competitive tariffs for services;<\/p>\n<p>(e)\u00a0\u00a0 Variety of services on high-speed broadband \u00a0including Over the top (OTT) services and multi-media services as part of packages offered to consumers, and<\/p>\n<p>(f)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Access to all online services.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PPP Model in this critical infrastructure of Telecom is a novel initiative.
