Modi government to raise Rs 6 lakh crore by spectrum auction
Will soon be 5G
Now the telecom sector is preparing to enter the 5th
generation services ie 5G. Under this most ambitious digital initiative of the
government, it is estimated to raise Rs 6 lakh crore by spectrum auction.
Modi Government has taken a gamble for a new revolution in
the telecom sector of the country. After 4G, the telecom sector is now
preparing for the fifth generation services i.e. in 5G soon. Under this most
ambitious digital initiative of the government, it is estimated to raise Rs 6
lakh crore by spectrum auction.
According to the Times of India, after the spectrum auction,
affordable 5G services will be started in the country, which includes Fiber to
the Home (FTTH) Internet service in rural areas. This plan has been approved by
the Digital Communications Commission (DCC), the supreme decision making body
to decide on telecommunications matters. Under this, auction of about 8,600
mega-Hz mobile airwaves will be done. This auction can be done by the end of
this year.
What is 5g
5G means the fifth generation mobile network technology.
This will greatly increase the speed of the Internet, and very fast broadband
services will be available. Because of this, it will be easier to provide
internet based services in sectors such as health, education. This will
facilitate services like Smart Driving, Smart City, Smart Home, Remote Surgery.
It is estimated that in 5G the speed of the internet will be up to 100 times.
Telecom Department from the newspaper, a senior official
told that if the spectrum sale is only on the reserve price, then the
government will get at least Rs 5.8 lakh crore. However, the government wants
to get more money from the auction. Apart from this, it will also be emphasized
that telecom services are inclusive, that is, the benefits of these services to
the cities, villages, the rich and the poor.
There is also a plan to make 5G inclusive and social. This
means that the use of 5G can be used in smart cars, smart cities, and also in
services like rural health and education.
It is noteworthy that earlier, during the first Modi government,
the spectrum auction was not successful and only 40 per cent of spectrum
auctioned. So this time, DCC had asked the Telecom Regulator TRAI to ask for a
new auction of auction.
DCC members feel that spectrum is a precious thing and if it
is not sold then it will not be of any use. The government is also planning to
launch 5G trial soon and companies like Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel,
Vodafone-Idea, Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung can be included. This trial can be
started in many start-ups and educational institutions.
Communication revolution in rural areas
The most important point of this plan is that 5G services
will be spread in rural areas. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) can be adopted
for this. Under this, 3 lakh common service centers will be opened in rural
areas, through which at least two WiFi hotspots will be given to 1 lakh gram
panchayats.
