Latest Answer: Many of the optical fibre cables (OFCs) in the city were unauthorized and soon BBMP Bangalore will disconnect the unauthorized cables and this could disturb your plans of having internet connectivity if your service provider is one of them. What @abhilasha said is correct, BBMP Bangalore is expecting to generate revenue of around Rs 500 crore by levying a fine of Rs 900 per meter per cable for not obtaining the civic agency’s permission and legalize if the service provider pays the penalty.
