‘CellOne’ mobile service is the only countrywide service in this
country. Upto the year 2010, there will be 10 crores mobile phone
connections. Madhya Pradesh State will be provided with Public
Village Telephone by December, 2003. Shri Mahajan spoke from ‘CellOne"
mobile with Video Conferencing to Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawat,
Hon’ble Vice President of India in New Delhi. Shri Mahajan said
that new service would have its reach from Kohima to Kandla and
Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Although "CellOne" came late to its service,
it will be cheaper and quality-wise better. He said cellphone
was considered an object of surprise on National Highways and
Railway main trunk-line. BSNL will compete in this field with
international standard and universal price standard.
Presiding over the special function at Indore,
