Loss-making public sector telecom firm MTNL will tap the virtual network operator route to share its network with private vendors.
This is part of an attempt to monetise its assets to generate revenue of Rs.1,000 crore over the next couple of years. MTNL has been sharing its telecom towers with BSNL. It is now open to sharing them along with with private telecom competitors, ISPs and cable operators in Mumbai and Delhi. “Next month, we will talk to telecom vendors to work with them on the new virtual network operator model,” MTNL Chairman and Managing Director N. K. Yadav said.
