National Optical Fibre Network delays

Procedural hassles hamper optic fibre cable rollout as the lack of coordination among the implementing agencies and procedural delays have pushed back the Rs 20,000-crore National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) project by almost a year. The project, which is expected to reach broadband services to rural areas, is being done under a new entity called Bharat Broadband Network Ltd but the laying the optical cable is being carried out by public sector companies which already own some optical fibre
