ACT Fibernet to roll out its services across India

[Navjot Singh]

Bengaluru based Atria Convergence Technologies (ACT), backed by the global institutional investors India Value Fund, Olympus Capital Asia and Kilimanjaro Netherlands, is planning to roll-out its broadband services across the country, earmarking Rs 100 crore investments for each centre.

ACT will evaluate brownfield expansion in the Northern markets, said chief executive officer Bala Malladi at an event in Hyderabad on Monday.

Great News.

I don't find the point that ACT has very poor coverage in Bangalore, not even 60% is covered and they are interested in expanding to other cities.

^^Exactly! Even some very densely populated areas (with IT guys) like CV Raman Nagar, etc are not covered by ACT! First they need to figure out how to solve issues with cable operators.

In other cities they are likely to focus on under construction societies so nothing changes for the most of us. Though competition might be forced to change tariffs. Airtel would then launch Sector specific plans for individual cities.

Exactly. It's been more than an year since ACT arrived in Chennai and it's still concentrated only in South Chennai. They have not expanded to North, West or Central Chennai, leave alone the Suburban Chennai. So, I'd say the Chennai coverage is around or under 20 percent.

May be they are interested in areas with certain connection density. It could be also that they want to get maximum profit out of minimal investment.
