Renewing the telecom agenda


·         Currently telecom sector is governed by archaic indian telegraph act 1885
·         The last national telecom policy  was framed in 1999
·         Lot has changed since then
·         The challenge at that time was improving tele density
·         Today the challenges are
o   Ensuring transparency in distri of scarce resources like spectrum
o   Ensure consumers get access to latest technologies at low tarriffs
o   Ensure a healthy competition among service providers in each area
CURRENT DENSITY
·         154 phones per 100 people in urban area and 30 in rural
