BSNL, the state-run Telecom giant, continues to expand its footprint in the fiber-based entertainment sector with its innovative IFTV (Intranet Fiber TV) service. After successful launches in Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Puducherry, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab, the service has now been rolled out in Gujarat. Aimed at enhancing the viewing experience for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) subscribers, BSNL IFTV is currently offered at no extra cost, making it an attractive addition for existing customers.
The introduction of BSNL IFTV is a strategic move to tap into the growing demand for OTT (over-the-top) content and live TV channels. The service allows users to convert their regular TVs into smart devices, enabling access to over 500 live channels and popular streaming platforms. For customers who prefer mobile access, BSNL has also introduced BiTV, a mobile-friendly version of IFTV.
As part of its broader vision, BSNL plans to extend IFTV services across more circles in January, including Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Jharkhand. This rollout aligns with BSNL’s efforts to solidify its position in the FTTH market, while also gearing up to launch 4G services nationwide.
