Not sure what you mean by quite. But, they certainly won't be able to profit with their absurd plans, 725 for 256 k ultd and 1999 for 1 mbps. Couple that with bsnl's reputation. I doubt there will be large scale adoption of ftth(residential) anytime soon, if at all.
As for the other guy, create a seperate thread for that.
Edit - it seems bsnl is shifting everyone from copper to fiber in my colony ( 1500 + apartments) of which 60-70 % are on bsnl.
oh i forgot to write 'a big', edited that post.
Their absurd FTTH plans definitely need to be changed, the present plans are simply senseless.
BTW are BSNL people shifting them on a free of cost basis or are they charging some nominal amount?
Shifting everyone to ftth on a pan India basis might be a good option but the costs associated are too mammoth. It will make sense only when the cost of DSL will equal FTTH.
