New Delhi: In a move that will make domestic bandwidth cheaper Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has decided to decrease tariffs for leased line Internet ports by up to 33 per cent. Leased line Internet ports are primarily used by corporates, Internet service providers and IT-enabled service companies to link their various offices or clients. As per the revised plans, a 45 Mbps leased line will be available to a non-ISP entity for Rs 1.8 crore per annum from February 1 compared with Rs 2.7 crore, at present. A one Mbps line will cost Rs 4.25 lakh under the new scheme compared with Rs 7.1 lakh currently. ISPs will have to pay Rs 5.1 lakh for a one Mbps line compared with Rs 8.5 lakh, at present. While there is no change for the 64 Kbps and 128 Kbps categories, BSNL has reduced tariffs for 256 Kbps leased line from Rs 2.7 lakh per annum to Rs 2 lakh. BSNL is facing stiff competition from the private operators in the domestic leased line market, which may have triggered the rate cuts.
