The BSNL is cooking up one lie after another to save its ‘political’ master, who reportedly arm-twisted the officials in granting WiMax franchise to a non-existent company.
First, the BSNL claimed that the franchisee short-listed for running WiMax operation in Chennai, West Bengal and Haryana and Himachal Pradesh was one Ampules (company). The news was widely reported in the media. When The Pioneer carried a report on Wednesday that this was a non-existent company, the BSNL came with a rejoinder, identifying the short-listed firm as Ampoules & Auto Private Limited of Kolkata.
In its rejoinder to The Pioneer, the BSNL’s Chennai unit said, “The company M/s Ampoules & Auto Private Limited, Kolkata, who has participated in the said tender is a registered firm under the Registrar of Companies, Government of India.” The signatory of the letter is AGM (Admn & Legal) of BSNL, Chennai unit.
A cursory look at the online registry of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs shows that Ampoules & Auto Private Limited is not registered as a company with any of the Registrars of Companies.

R-Com to sell part of optic fibre capacity
Mumbai, Dec. 14: Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Communications is planning to sell a part of its optic fibre capacity on its FLAG network to global broadband users.
Put simply, the company plans to sell “an asset within an asset” while retaining ownership of the world’s largest private undersea cable.
“The cable is made up of millions of fibre pairs and Reliance Communications is considering selling some of those to large broadband users,” said sources.
The FLAG network — or Fibre-optic Loop Around the Globe — owned by Reliance Communications overseas arm Reliance Globalcom covers 65,000 kilometres and is integrated with the company’s domestic optic fibre network.
