Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL), the state owned telecom firm, is planning to launch free roaming scheme, allowing customers to receive calls at no extra cost while traveling across the country. Currently, the company’s customers have to pay roaming charges for incoming calls when they go outside of Delhi and Mumbai. Furthermore, the company has also increased minimum broadband speed to two mega bit per second (Mbps) and is offering free broadband for one month to its landline customers.
MTNL was set up by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of India's key metros -- Delhi and Mumbai.
