C-DOT Privatizes Optical Fiber Technology In India
Citizens of India would soon experience 'what fast internet is?' thanks to the decision by government aided #-Link-Snipped-#. The agency has recently decided for transferring optical fiber technology to private players for effective broadband connectivity combined with minimum transmission losses. The decision is touted to provide internet connection at lowest possible cost to the common man!

Gigabit Passive Optical Technology (GPON) is a major technology for broadband connectivity in rural as well as North-eastern part of the country. While congratulating the move by C-DOT, Hon'ble communications Minister Mr. Kapil Sibal said that the move will bring a positive change in many sectors including defense and e-governance. #-Link-Snipped-# to state based firms and business houses would affect a fast application of this technology for improvement of Internet services. The communications sector in India is said to witness a good growth rate with privatizing the optical fiber technology.
The model which the autonomous institution C-DOT is trying to implement is functional in Rajasthan. The technology is tried and tested and has worked well with #-Link-Snipped-# Ajmer network. The technology here was earlier transferred to seven state and private players.
GPON is actually a very secure technology and is effective for point-multipoint connectivity. Unlike PON, GPON uses larger variable-length packets enabling it to achieve higher bandwidth and higher efficiency.
If the model works well on a nationwide scale, it would mean an easy access to sources of e-learning, e-banking and other internet related activities especially for rural and tribal areas. There is a huge potential for Internet to have its increased footprint in the Asian country and will have many good effects. However will privatization be a good option? The answer has varied dimensions and cannot be said anything just now. Do share with us your views in this regards via comments.
