Telcos bat for policy reforms to boost digital infrastructure at India Mobile Congress

With India’s telecom and digital infrastructure expanding rapidly, telecom players are advocating for policy reforms to expand satellite services across the nation, support artificial intelligence (AI) and requested the Centre to expedite the updating of the 2020 draft of the Data Centre Policy.

Speaking at the 8th edition of the India Mobile Congress 2024 in New Delhi, Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, said telecom companies can play a major role in delivering satellite services to India’s most remote areas. He said satellite companies seeking to serve urban, elite customers should operate under the same regulatory framework as telecom operators.
