[1]BSNL launched its video telephony service in Indore on Wednesday. With this, people will be able to view each other while calling on landline phone. The launch is a value addition to the BSNL landline service and is aimed particularly at the enterprise segment and international callers.
"Video-cum-voice call would cost Rs 2.50 per minute and while only a voice call would cost Re one per minute," Indore BSNL Circle GM G.C. Pandey told in a press conference here.
Indore has a target of 500 VVOBB (Voice and Video over Broadband) connections by December end, Pandey said adding that any BSNL landline subscriber with a Broadband connection can apply for VVOBB phone.
The plan was opened for 98,000 basic landline users, he said.
Sai InfoSystem (India) Ltd (SIS) would provide the equipment at a varying cost of Rs 6,500 to Rs 17,000 and BSNL would extend the infrastructure on this very system, he said.
This would also be applied for tele-education, tele-medicine, tele-surveillance and e-governance, he said.
