DoT seeks details from BSNL on security

The company said it has already replied to the government on this.

BSNL is working on a new system — managed capacity model— which is adopted by private players like Airtel. Once the PSU adopts this, it will outsource to a vendor, who will then take care of all its procurement needs.

The telco had decided to move to this model after its board scrapped its controversial tender of 93 million lines, the world’s largest contract for telecom equipment based on Sam Pitroda panel’s suggestions.
