Manoj Sinha, the Minister of Communications has said that his Ministry is working on a new Telecom Policy which will be application driven as compared to National Telecom Policy, 2012 which was connectivity driven. 

He also said that the new policy must be focussed on the end users and should look at the newer opportunities for expanding the availability of telecom services.

“The advent of high speed data services and enhanced expectations of the users to get real time on-demand bandwidth to run near real time live applications enjoins us to prepare new policies,” said Sinha.

The minister underlined that for the first time, the ministry has decided to involve a large pool of experts from outside the department to get more inputs from the citizens and stakeholders for the new policy.
