The telecom incumbents Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) are likely to be among the first ones to offer broadband services at 'consumer friendly' rates. The two public sector undertakings (PSUs) have been asked by the department of telecommunications (DoT) to offer broadband services at around Rs 500 per month for a minimum speed of 256 Kbps.
