Earlier this year, BSNL announced its long-awaited FTTH deployment, which aims to reach 700,000 households within the next year, growing to 7 million households by 2015. While India’s FTTx plans have been publicly overshadowed by those of China, they are significant for India. The success of IPTV and other interactive applications offered via FTTH will be crucial for India’s incumbent network operator BSNL, as well as the vendors who will supply the equipment and install the networks.
