CMD Meets Forum on Formation of Tower Company

Forum, Tower company

A detailed meeting was held by the CMD BSNL with the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations on the issue of formation of a subsidiary Tower Company, to be carved  out of BSNL. The Unions were told that it will be beneficial to the BSNL itself to form the tower company. The full details of the Cabinet decision are yet to be understood.

The Forum has decided to meet Secretary, DOT and find out the details and take a final decision about the programmes to be taken by the Forum.

In the same meeting with CMD,, it was informed that the refund of the Spectrum surrendered will be adjusted towards Licence fee to be paid by BSNL. This is not acceptable. What the government should do is to immediately pay the amount to BSNL to purchase equipment etc. and get the licence fee gradually, when the finance of the company improves. The best way is to waive the arrears of licence fee of BSNL, in the same way many dues and taxes of the private telecom companies were waived.

Through the formation of the Tower Company, the govt. wants to divert even the existing revenue of the BSNL and through the adjustment of refund of spectrum refund towards licence fee, it wants that BSNL to be deprived of any funds for its improvement.

Instead of weakening BSNL, its own company, the government should help it to spring back to its original glory.

Presentation on Formation of Subsidiary Tower Company.

BSNL, Tower company

BSNL Management along with the representatives of M/S KPMG Consultants gave a Presentation today on the ‘Project Unnati’, the proposal for monetising the the BSNL Towers by forming a subsidiary company for managing the ‘Tower business of BSNL. Shri Neeraj Varma, GM SR and Shri Bhandari GM explained the details. All the unions/associations were invited to the presentation.

The Unions’/Associations’ representatives strongly opposed to the proposal for forming the new Tower Company.  They stated that they were not considered before the BSNL Board took the decision on such an important issue which affects the BSNL and the BSNL workers. They opposed the formation since  it is nothing less than separating the tower business from BSNL and later privatising it. The future of the employees who will be deputed/absorbed in the new company will be disastrous.

The Unions/Associations stated their strong protest and asked the available officers to convey the same to the Management.

From the BSNLEU, Coms. V.A.N.Namboodiri, President, P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary, Animesh Mitra, Dy.GS and Swapan Chakraborty, AGS participated.

what the BSNL Board is contemplating?

BSNL, BSNL Board, Tower company

The BSNL Management has invited the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations for a presentation of its decision to form a Tower Company out of BSNL. Good that the Unions / associations are called for briefing.

But one serious question come to the fore. Why the BSNL Management or BSNL Board discuss the issue with Forum/Unions/Associations which are important stake holders of the BSNL, before taking any decision?

When the Forum knew about the arbitrary decision of the Board, it has strongly protested against this anti-BSNL, anti-worker decision. The 2.5 lakh of workers are putting their best to improve the services and financial position of the company and is fully co-operating with the Management on the strengthening and efficiency. Employees are fully convinced that forming a separate tower company will be completely against the interest of BSNL and its workers and hence strong protest.

Dropping the decision of the Board to form the Tower Company will be best decision. That is our demand to the BSNL Management/Board.

BSNL Tower Business should not be made separate company

bifurcation, BSNL, Tower company

It is reported that the Government is proposing to form a separate company for its tower business. BSNL has at present 61,622 towers scattered all over the country, which is the second largest. More towers are expected to be installed. The move is intended to probably to give it on rent/sharing and get some revenue.
This move will clearly reduce the revenue of the company. Another matter is about the employees. Many employees in BSNL will be required to be transferred to the new company. Most of them will be DOT employees already once transferred/absorbed in BSNL and whose service conditions etc. are changed once. Another transfer will create further trouble.
Further no discussion has taken place with the recognised unions or the Forum of the BSNL Unions/Associations in this matter. The move to form a tower company bifurcating will be suicidal for BSNL and its employees.
This proposal has to be opposed and defeated.
