Ø BBNL provides non-discriminatory access to all Service Providers. BBNL has been granted National Long Distance Operating (NLDO) license by DOT w.e.f. 01.04.2013.
Ø BharatNet and its services
BharatNet is a middle mile network from block to Gram Panchayats (GPs) which provides connectivity to Service Providers like TSPs, ISPs. MSOs, LCOs and Government agencies for extending their services from Block to GPs. It offers following services to the service providers/ government agencies:
1. Bandwidth: It offers point to point (P2P) and point to multi-point (P2MP) bandwidth from block to GPs using GPON technology.
2. Dark fiber: on incremental cable: It offers dark fiber on the incremental cable laid by BBNL between Fiber Point of Interconnect (FPOI) and GPs.
Ø BharatNet utilization models
1. Bandwidth Utilization: Any service provider/ government agency who intends to provide its services at Gram Panchayat level may connect to BharatNet at block OLT location from where its traffic is carried to Gram Panchayat (GP) level on BharatNet. At the GP, service provider has to extend its services to the end-customers using its own last mile. To trigger the ecosystem and promote BharatNet utilization, this bandwidth is being offered at highly attractive and affordable price.
2. Dark Fiber Utilization: Service providers may also utilize the dark fiber on the new cable laid by BBNL between block and GPs, called incremental cable, for extending its services to GPs. The dark fiber is available from Fiber Point of Interconnect (with the existing fiber) to the GPs. However, there are about 16000 Gram Panchayats where BBNL fiber is available right up to the block from GPs. (Click here to get the list of these location) .The dark fiber is also being offered at very affordable and attractive price of Rs 2,250 per fiber per KM per annum which is very much below the market price.
