Jio wants periodic spectrum auctions, SpaceX pushes for satellite use to promote broadband
The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) on Tuesday said it strongly condemns the sabotaging of telecom network infrastructure and disruption of services as a form of protest. The statement comes after more than1,500 mobile towers were damaged during farmers' stir in Punjab. This has disrupted services in some pockets.
COAI's Director General, SP Kochhar in a statement said disruption of telecom services is causing immense inconvenience to the common man, for whom mobile services are "essential".
"While we respect people's right to protest on any issue, sabotaging the telecom network infrastructure and disrupting telecom services as a form of protest by anyone is strongly condemned," the statement read.
