Vodafone Essar East would connect all villages in West Bengal by 2009, a top company official said on Monday.

All villages of the state would be connected in the next one to one-and-a-half years, company's chief executive officer Sridhar Rao told reporters in Kolkata.

He said quality of services would improve as a consequence of Vodafone buying a controlling stake in Essar, but would take some time.

Rao said the company was increasing cell sites for better services. "In Kolkata alone, the company was adding 50 to 60 cell sites," he said.

At present, the company has 1,400 cell sites in Kolkata, an 1,900 in the Bengal circle.
