Kerala circle of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) is readying for a ‘large influx' of mobile customers through the mobile number portability (MNP) window. According to Mr Premachandra, Chief General Manager, BSNL-Kerala, at least five lakh new customers are expected to ‘port in' during this financial year. He said this while speaking at a function organised by the Trivandrum Management Association to explain the formalities, processes and procedures associated with the MNP regime.
 Of special significance was the achievement of 14 lakh mobile connections during 50 days in November 2010 to January 2011, a record in itself for any operator (including peer BSNL circles), anywhere in the country, he said. Until March 31 this year, BSNL has added 18.2 lakh new connections, which is more than half the connections available at year-ago levels. What sets apart the BSNL from others is the ability to offer tailor-made solutions as also the economy (as distinct from being ‘cheap') of services with no hidden costs. To substantiate his point, Mr Premachandra recounted an experience during his tenure in Jharkhand where the Tinplate Company of India Ltd, a Tata enterprise, moved all its land and mobile connections from Tata Teleservices to BSNL.
