some disturbing trends also like big increase on staff cost and administrative expenditure.

efforts is required.

• Customer acquisition and retention is of prime importance in the highly volatile telecom market place where high churning and low customer loyalty are the characteristics.

• Despite all this growth in the Telecom sector the digital divide is continuously increasing. Gap between urban tele-density and rural tele-density is widening.

• Private players are less interested in high investment oriented and low return paying rural India but for BSNL there is a big opportunity here because

• BSNL already has a large network of more than 36000 Digital Exchanges.

• BSNL can harp on its existing infrastructure to position itself as formidable player.
