Reliance Communications has announced a host of measures to increase mobile telecom and Internet penetration in rural India. The Anil Ambani-controlled company has launched new initiatives in its Internet service plan: BharatNet, Grameen (a new value-added service on mobiles) and M2M (machine to machine) solutions for rural customers. BharatNet plan is RCom’s high-speed wireless Internet service that will cover 20,000 rural locations. It will be designed for rural and sub-urban markets offering speeds of approximately 153 kbps. This tariff will be available across rural India, excluding the metros and top 100 cities, according to a company press release. RCom is offering BharatNet Internet access for Rs 98 a week with downloads up to 350 MB.
