The Tamilnadu Chamber of Commerce's Madurai Chapter has welcomed the proposed new billing pattern consequent on CDR Billing system. It is understandable. But is it enough to retain the ever dwindling landline subscriber base ? Without improving quality of service, will these measures alone serve any purpose? Almost in all the towns of Tamilnadu, our cables have been damaged beyond repair. There is no effort either to replace the faulty cables or repair them in a satisfactory manner, resulting in total dissatisfaction of the subscriber which drives them away from BSNL. Who will be ready to continue with nil or very poor service provider eventhough the charges are less? Without ensuring uninterrupted service, what benefit these billing changes will bring the department?

BSNL billing plan welcomed
Madurai, July 5
The Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry has welcomed the new billing pulse rate calculation method based on user charges for landline subscribers, introduced by the BSNL, Madurai region, effective from from July 12. The chamber president, Mr N. Jegatheesan, in a release here said that under the new method, the total duration of calls made in a month is taken for calculation and divided by 180 seconds for local calls to landline phones and the charges are calculated according to the pulse rateUnder the present system, the pulse rate is 180 seconds and even for calls made for one or two seconds, the subscriber in the landline, has to pay one pulse rate charges, he said. With BSNL facing severe competition from private players in landline service, the new billing system is bound to enthuse landline subscribers of BSNL and would go a long way in retaining subscribers in Madurai, Theni and Dindigul districts, he added.
