Minister of Communication says Telecom industry is extremely dynamic and progressive

Manoj Sinha, the Minister of Communications said that the Telecom Ministry is dealing with an extremely dynamic industry and progressive market which is evolving at an extremely rapid rate. 
 
He said that with the increase in use of smartphones and an exponential increase in broadband usage, data is going to drive industry more and more rather than voice and therefore, the Ministry has initiated a move to relook at the current Telecom Policy through public consultation, as the need of the hour is to ramp up for the digital era. 
 
Whether it is broadband spectrum, internet adoption/availability, data protection, or cyber security, what was applicable five years back is no more relevant in today’s context, and new policies will need to be futuristic. They will also need to be capable of dealing with India’s challenges and figuring out ways to deal with those challenges, Sinha said while Speaking at the 10th Anniversary Celebrations of IPTV Society.
