The Government is going to announce New Telecom Policy 2011 (NTP – 2011)within a few months. This is the third NTP, the earlier being NTP – 1994 and NTP – 1999. Each of these policies have been announced and implemented to promote the interests of the private sector, including MNCs and big business. Now the intention of NTP -2011 also is not for another purpose. If we want to change it, we have to start now.

The Joint Action Committee of BSNL Associations/Unions has decided to submit memorandum to the Communications Minister with regard to the NTP -2011. It is requested that employees who have got any suggestions in the matter may kindly send the same to me so that all those points could be considered before submitting its opinion to government. And let it be quick so that I can prepare the suggestions with out delay.
