BSNL to set up 30,000 broadband kiosks in the coming two years, should be one big news from the rural internet penetration perspective. And it is, since franchisees would be doing this job for BSNL in some of the most remote areas of India which will not only enhance internet connectivity but also help the people from the hinterland to avail useful services at affordable prices.

Farmers being aware of all the facilities available over the internet like weather forecasts and agricultural advices, cannot make use of them due to the lack of accessibility. The kiosks that BSNL promises to assemble should be of great help. The PTI report included, a senior official from BSNL saying, “The aim is to build a network of around 30,000 broadband kiosks across India within a period of two years. We will set up the kiosks through franchisee in rural areas.”

The network for these kiosks will be fractioned in four zones of the country. Whereas each zone will have a broadband partner to accomplish the task and effectively implement it in the next two years that they assure to deliver. Kiosks are said to be self-sufficient with a 3-tier business model proposed by the state-run PSU company. Wireless connectivity is also said to be made available to their 3.9 million subscriber base by the end of this year, which sounds like a phenomenal anticipation.
