Synopsis
Telcos have sought the immediate intervention of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the civil aviation ministry to avoid a potential disruption of mobile broadband services, especially amid a surge in home internet and video services consumption with many mobile users still working from home, post-pandemic.
Matters have come to a head amid India s growing 4G user base.
Consumers could soon face disruptions in mobile services due to a huge backlog of uncleared applications for a key clearance required by telcos for setting up new mobile network infrastructure.
