Hyderabad, June 28: State-owned telecom giant BSNL has drawn up plans to provide a record six million telephone connections, including three million mobile connections, in the current year, company's chairman and managing director Prithipal Singh said today. About 1.5 million fixed-line and the same number of WLL (wireless in local loop) connections would be provided across the country during the year, Singh told reporters here.

"At the end of the year, BSNL will have covered the entire country with three types of networks (fixed line, limited mobility and mobile)," he said. He said BSNL now had a capacity of four million cellular lines, and two million more lines would be added by the end of the year.

Singh launched a 'twin offer' package for post-paid CellOne subscribers in Andhra Pradesh. As per the package, one CellOne connection would be given free for new CellOne registration and no activation fee would be charged.

The BSNL was also exploring the area of providing total network solutions to government and corporate organisations and talks in this regard were on with the governments of Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Singh said. Bureau Report
