Monday Mar 26 2001 \| Updated 1753 hrs IST 0723 EST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BSNL makes 'poor-man's cellphone' a reality in Haryana NEW DELHI BHARAT Sanchar Nigam will start limited mobility telephony in Gurgaon on Tuesday with a monthly rental of Rs 400, free incoming calls and Rs 1.20 for a three minute out going call. Pulse rate for local, domestic long distance and international long distance calls has been kept as applicable to an ordinary telephone, a senior official from Gurgaon Telecom said. The department is offering wireless fixed and wireless mobile connections using Wireless in Local Loop (WLL) technology with a refundable deposit of Rs 10,000 in case of fixed connection. The deposit at Rs 10,000 would, however, be adjustable in case of wireless mobile (limited mobility) connection. The subscribers would be required to pay one year rental as security deposit for the fixed WLL connection while for mobile connection the security deposit has been kept in three slabs of Rs 2,000 for local calls only, Rs 3,000 for local and STD and Rs 5,000 for local, STD and ISD facilities. The officials said that initially the department would be offering 2,000 fixed and mobile connections and the capacity would be raised subsequently according to response in the market. The Department of Telecommunications had announced its policy to allow basic telecom operators to provide limited mobility in January this year. The cellular operators have filed a case in appellate telecom tribunal challenging DoT's decision. Though the Telecom Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal had refused to grant a stay in this regard, but had said that operators must inform subscribers that continuation of this scheme would be subject to the final verdict of the tribunal. Rental for the wireless fixed connection would be as applicable to an ordinary telephone and would also include the facility of 75 free calls per month as in the case of wired line telephone. The mobile handsets offering limited mobility based on Code Division Multiple Access technology have been procured from Korean major LG, the senior official said. The billing cycle in both cases has been kept on monthly basis. The limited mobility services would be launched by Union communication minister Ram Vilas Paswan. (PTI)
