June 7th, 2012 - 9:14 pm ICT by IANSMumbai, June 7 (IANS) Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) Thursday said it is finalising plans to roll out broadband services across the country in key domains like financial services, education and entertainment.
“We are currently finalising our plans to offer services on a nation-wide basis,” Chairman Mukesh Ambani said at the 38th annual general meeting of the company.
“We plan to provide an ever growing range of digital services in key domains of national interest such as education, healthcare, security, financial services, government-citizen interfaces and entertainment,” he added without specifying exact date of the launch.
