The Tatas-owned Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) is planning to ramp up investment in broadband during the current financial year. | |
| "We will allocate about 70 per cent of our total investments during 2004-05 in areas like broadband and national long distance (NLD)," said Prateek Pashine, head, retail segment. |
| |
| The Department of Telecommunications is expected to come out with a broadband policy in the next few days. The policy is expected to give a fillip to broadband usage in the country. |

| In the initial phase VSNL would roll out metropolitan area networks in eight cities across the country by March 2005, Pashine said. |
| |
| These cities include Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad along with four metros. These networks would be able to carry huge gigabytes of voice, video and data services, Pashine added. |
