Bharati has invited global tenders from Internet facility
providers to upgrade the AIR Internet service to a multi-channel
multi-lingual Internet radio station providing streaming
audio.
The
planning and development unit of the pubcaster has publicly
invited commercial offers for the overhaul of All India
Radio, so far a public service broadcaster focussed on educational
and entertainment programmes.
With the private sector poised to invade the airwaves via
FM, the government seems to be gearing up for the challenge
by providing multi-lingual streaming audio.
The
tender documents are available at Akashwani Bhavan, New
Delhi from 11 March. An earnest money deposit of Rs 50,000
accompanies the tender documents, the deadline for which
is 12 pm on 16 April.
