Low broadband penetration in the country is a matter of concern and the government needs to do a lot more work in the field to go up in the global ladder, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Chairman R S Sharma said on Wednesday (30 November). Sharma said:
Sharma said TRAI had given recommendations to the government on using cable television network for broadband delivery and that if they were accepted, India’s ranking would go up.
“In many developed countries like the US and Europe, nearly 50-60 per cent broadband comes from Digital Cable TV," he added.
