BSNL seeks partnerships with pvt sector

State-run BSNL is seeking partnerships with private sector rivals to generate revenue and return to profitability in a couple of years. To improve earnings and cut losses, BSNL has drawn up a strategy to use its underused network and forge agreements with private telecom players. This will also mean minimal capital expenditure, according to a senior BSNL executive. An official of the department of telecommunications said, BSNL wanted to use its network, which is lying vacant at several places, optimally.
