AP State FiberNet Limited (APSFL) Chairman P. Goutham Reddy has said the Central government was giving ₹1,747 crore for implementing the fibernet project due to the persistent efforts made by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to garner funds.
The APSFL has decided to provide set-top boxes to operators and MSOs free of cost for nine months. It has been planned to set up fibernet box service centres.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Mr. Goutham Reddy said the State had decided to seek an audit of fibernet project works done previously. APSFL focused on expanding the reach of digital services and both the Centre and the State were collaborating to achieve that goal. They were drawing up the required plans.
