Perish the thought. Movies, music - paid ofcourse. Replacing the cablewalla. Afterall it's a Rs.300cr p.a. kitty in Mumbai alone.all they need is some servers and POPS. Given the pile of cash they sit on capital costs for rolling out such services are ridiculously low.
CapEx for the last mile is high.
That is why Wimax. They already have physical space which would be a huge cost otherwise. Infact for MTNL just recovering all the copper would fund the client side device and they could well afford to replace all copper with wireless - subjet to the technology being capable of handling the connection density.
CapEx for most services is low. Opex, OTOH, is fairly high for services.
For MTNL increase in opex will be marginal since the major opex is covered by voice services.
