07/08/2008:- The Joint Forum leaders met Hon’ble MoC&IT today at 11.30 AM. Secy (DoT), CMD BSNL, senior officers of DoT and Board of Directors BSNL were also present. Hon’ble MoC&IT stated that he has allocated 3G spectrum’s one slot to BSNL, waived off the license fee on rural wired lines and arranged Rs. 2000 crores from USO fund in lieu of ADC withdrawal. The USO charges reduced 5% to 3%. He expressed his concern against dip in BSNL’s market share. Hon’ble MoC&IT, Secy (Telecom) and CMD BSNL requested Joint Forum to accept listing of BSNL and issuing IPO. CMD BSNL proposed that all BSNL employees will be issued with 500 shares of the value of Rs. 10/- each, in case unions accept IPO. They tried to convince the leaders that listing of BSNL will provide Global Position (GPS) and market value to BSNL. The Joint Forum leaders strongly opposed the proposal moved by the CMD BSNL. Due to straight way rejection by the Joint Forum, Hon’ble MoC&IT finally told that Joint Forum may further discuss internally and we can meet to discuss the matter after few days.

Some mis-leading reports are coming on some media channels regarding Joint Forum’s acceptance of IPO, which are totally baseless. All the members are requested not to get confused and get ready to defeat the ulterior motives of the Govt. PRESS RELEASE

(a) CMD BSNL expressed his serious concern against the continuous and huge surrender of DELs, WLL and GSM telephone connections which is causing sharp fall of BSNL market share. He emphasized to provide quality of service and attitudinal change towards customers. We appreciated the feelings expressed by the CMD and discussed the reasons of surrender of telephone connections in detail. We impressed upon to complete the process of absorption of Gr. ‘A’ officers in BSNL so that they also concentrate to the growth and maintenance of telecom services in BSNL. We informed him that we have been educating our members through open session/GB meetings for attitudinal change and providing quality service. We assured him to continue our effort in this regard.

(b) CMD informed that he is not in favour of ITI merger with BSNL but supports Govt.’s move for listing of BSNL through IPO route. He appealed that all the BSNL Unions/Associations should come forward to discuss the issue of listing BSNL. We strongly opposed the Govt.’s move of ITI merger with BSNL and listing of BSNL. The revenue of 10% IPO of BSNL will straight way go to Ex-chequer, it will not at all benefit to BSNL. CMD BSNL tried to convince that after listing of BSNL, the valuation of BSNL will be decided and the BSNL will be getting some funds out of the IPO revenue from Govt. for the purpose of staff trainings etc.
