standards and ecosystems in the coming two-three years, as equipment prices
come down and devices become available, Chairman of Bharti Airtel, Sunil Mittal said on
Tuesday.
Terming space as the "next frontier of communications",

Research Organisation (ISRO) and Department of Space's call to private sector,
would ensure that advantages move in the country's favour in space
communication industry, as well.

onset of pandemic has accelerated digital adoption of various products and
services. The force multiplier of pandemic has pushed digitalisation of the
country, he added.
The next-generation 5G would start to become the norm in the
mobile broadband space in next two-three years.
"As world settles down on 5G space, pricing of the
equipmesunt comes down and importantly the devices start getting available in
plentiful, I think India in two-three years' time will be ready to receive the
benefit of the investments that the globe would have made on 5G standard and 5G
ecosystems," Mittal said.
