Following the example of Satyam Infoway, India_s first private ISP, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) too now plans to offer Internet connections to its customers through CDs. The CDs would enable subscribers to buy an Internet connection off-the-shelf from bookstores and prominent retail stores in the country. To start with, VSNL would only offer a 100-hour connection through this route. In addition, the ISP is also negotiating with various banks in the country to enable payment of these CDs through a credit card in order to make the Net more accessible. A. Kumar, acting CMD, VSNL says, "We would now offer these CDs off the shelf and once the consumer installs it, he has a connection with VSNL along with a password which can be changed." "Lowering the access charge is just one aspect. Enhancing availability and ensuring visibility of the services is the new challenge which VSNL is now gearing up for," he says.
