Government plans to provide Cheap Broadband Internet Facility Via Cable TV Operation :

Tamil Nadu  Government recently announced that the Government is going to provide Cheaper Broadband Internet facility all around the state through the existing Arasu Cable TV operation.



This announcement has received many positive appreciation from the critics and the CM Selvi J  Jayalalitha is hugely acclaimed for her wonderful and creative steps toward the technology revolution around the state.
As already government has made some basic facilities that can be done through online . Some of the best implementation are
1. Online bus ticket booking for TNSTC government bus services
2. Online Bill Payment for Electric Board TNEB
3. Online verification for land registration status etc.

Government has provided 20 lakhs free laptops to the college students for last three years.
SO, it is necessary to provide facility to connect them with the internet facility.

This Cheap internet project is announced under 110 rule and an estimation of 50 lakh INR is allocated to this project.

Currently there is no target date or detailed plan executed to implement this project.

But, if this project is implemented successfully, then it would be a huge boon for poor students and middle class people.
Already BSNL provides unlimited internet for 650 Rupees in village areas. So we can expect little cheaper than these rates,
May be around 200 Rupees per month for free unlimited internet in this government Internet Project.

It is obvious that other 3G projects, broadband services will hugely affect by this services and they have to make alternate plan proposals to keep up their place in the race of Internet providers.
