The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is looking to unleash
the potential of spectrum and is exploring meaningful applications for 5G technology, a top
official of the department said on Tuesday.
At the CII Partnership Summit 2020, Telecom Secretary Anshu
Prakash also said the government is soon going to come up with an incentive
scheme to encourage manufacturing of telecom equipment in India where the
government will look at more value addition from the country in making the
gears.
"We are going to unleash the potential of spectrum, remove
all the bottlenecks, explore what new can be done with the spectrum,"
Prakash said.
He said the government wants to encourage wirelines, internet-leased
line, FTTH (fibre-to-the-home) and FTTX connections.
"In the realm of 5G, we want to come up with meaningful
applications. Applications that are not merely enhanced mobile broadband but
which touch all lives in agriculture, health and education, disaster
management, public safety, traffic management etc," Prakash said.
