TIRUNELVELI, JAN.9. The Tirunelveli Telecom District of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has introduced "an enticing and economical" post-paid internet scheme — `Accountless Internet Account' — for subscribers living in and around Tirunelveli (having the STD code of 0462), which will come into effect from tomorrow onwards.

According to the General Manager, BSNL, V. Raju, no deposit or application was needed to get this "revolutionary" internet connection since the subscribers themselves could get the connection, visiting the web site of the BSNL using their telephones, whose number would be the `User ID.'

The Internet charges will be 10 paise per minute (excluding the service tax of 10.20 per cent) throughout the year. A `local call' will be calculated for every 900 seconds of browsing on all Sundays, national holidays, browsing between 10.30 p.m. and 7.30 a.m.l, while a `local call' will be calculated for 450 seconds of browsing on weekdays, browsing between 7.30 a.m. and 10.30 p.m. The facility will be extended to others parts of the district soon," Mr. Raju said.
