BSNL Next Generation Network SWITCH (NGN)

Okay so an update to this thread: In my area BSNL has not started the process yet, but they optimistically gave me a timeline of 6 months. Yeah, it didn’t optimise [idk if it’s a word] me much.
Long story short: they issued me a new landline number from their 29xxx voip series with pan-national free calling and gave a 50% discount on my existing landline (old number) till the migration is completed. They did it as a goodwill gesture since the migration isn’t finished to the NGN switch.

Here's a letter that elaborates the BSNL NGN migration process. It helps with understanding the overall process, the people in charge, as well as the trouble shooting steps, if your connection faces any delays to get setup. Do check it out.

Though tbh, this file would disappear some day in any case.

Both Chinese companies (Huawei and UTStarcom) have been black listed. I wonder now how long it’ll take for the existing switches to be replaced and a new contractor assigned. Possibly better half of a decade is my best guess.
