The Communications Minister Kapil Sibal had released the draft of the National Telecom Policy 2011 a few weeks back and asked for feed backs and opinions from all the stake holders.
The Joint Action Committee of BSNL Unions has submitted certain important points so that those may be included in the policy.
The NTP 2011 is nothing but an assertion and justification of what has been done all these years. It is trying to justify all the misdeeds of the government and the corporates including the action by which the 2G scam resulted. NTP 2011 is intended to favour the private telcos both foreign and domestic.
An Alternate Telecom Policy is the need of the hour. The BSNL Employees Union as per the directive of its CEC meeting held at Jaipur has prepared an ATP and is under finalisation.Some expert opinion also has been taken. This will be presented to the government without any further delay.
Any opinion in the matter can be intimated to the BSNLEU CHQ so that it can also be included, if found suitable.
