Work-from-home, online learning fuelling need for massive investment in digital infra: Trai chief

New Delhi: With work-from-home, online learning, and in-home entertainment fuelling demand for robust digital infrastructure, massive investments would be needed especially in areas like Fibre-to-the-Home, data centres, in-building solutions and proliferation of wifi hotspots, TRAI Chairman R S Sharma said on Monday.

Terming telecom infrastructure and services as “key enablers” and “critical determinants” of the country’s digital and economic growth, Sharma said that creation of robust telecom infrastructure – a capital-intensive sector — will play a key role in seamless connectivity, which is essence of true digitisation.
