“We are not there yet,” Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan said in New Delhi, adding that complete roll-out of 5G will be done by 2022. “5G won’t be driven by supply, it’ll be driven by demand and the rest of industry needs to wake up to this.”
In September last year, Indian government had constituted a high-level forum on 5G comprising three secretaries of departments of telecom, IT, and science & technology, apart from renowned academic experts and stakeholders from the industry.
This panel set up by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) was entrusted with the task of coming out with a roadmap for adoption of fifth generation of mobile telephony, including spectrum policy, regulatory regime and pilot programmes in India by June this year and had said that the rollout would be by the year 2020 in keeping with the other Asian nations that are planning to roll out 5G services.
But that has been delayed by another couple of years.
