"Mid-band has been examined for various aspects that impact the minimum requirements to be met by operators to service their consumers in different geographies. Analysis reveals that ideally, 3-4 operators require 2 GHz of mid-band spectrum to offer optimal 5G services. Deviating below this threshold would lead to sub-optimal performance while surpassing it could result in wastefulness," opines Kochhar.
"The 5G rollout has been very good. It has set world records with the fastest 5G rollout. But having said that, I m a little constrained to say that the revenues for the telecom industry have not picked up," Kochhar said.
6G Technology: "We have to build international standard 6G infrastructure and the standardisation work has started with a bang. the road map has been laid out and the government is taking the lead, with support from the industry," Kocchar said.
The statement comes on the close heels of India s telco body, the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) writing a letter to Trai s acting chairman Meenkshi Gupta cautioning against misinformation on net neutrality, added that it had no intent to seek fair share from startups.
