The Department of Telecommunications, or DoT, has prepared the groundwork for the commercial deployment of 5G to take place in an expedited manner with the rules’ simplifications declared by the telecom minister. This supports the government’s goal of making doing business easier and illustrates the idea that government should advance at the same rate as technology and innovation, notably 5G, where ultra-low lag is a key feature.
These revolutionary measures at the legislative level unlock the full potential of emerging technologies like 5G. Additionally, it fits with how quickly consumer preferences and activities are changing about technology. 5G is the connectedness of digital citizens, who would connect with the internet and other digital citizens in addition to participating in multidimensional aspects and connecting with their surroundings.
Numerous use cases are already being researched, tested, and even put into practice in other nations. According to a research report by Qualcomm, 5% of the real global output will be made possible by 5G in 2035. The government of India has already established the audacious goal of having a $10 trillion GDP by 2035. Since India is starting 5G a little later than the majority of wealthy economies, even if its share of the global economy is only 2.5–3% by 2035, 5G will have enabled $250–300 billion for the Indian economy.
Timing is everything. Any delay in launching this 5G-powered growth engine results in lost economic value. The opportunity cost associated with delays in the deployment of 5G over the entire nation, is highly unaffordable. The government’s announced policy initiatives will close the opportunity cost disparities at least partially, if not entirely.
Additionally, this will lessen the digital gap and lead to uniform development and advancement that will stimulate economic growth all across the nation. It is high time for the nation’s whole 5G ecosystem to assess, install, and turn on the 5G networks to produce the pyrotechnics of progress, affluence, inventiveness, and overall development, placing India at the top of the happiness index representing the country’s and its people’s total uplift.
