Communication, broadcast a basic service, needs to be provided at lowest cost: Tarun Kapoor

Communication and broadacast is a basic service linked to education, health and quality of life, which needs to be provided at the lowest cost, Advisor to Prime Minister Tarun Kapoor said on Tuesday. Speaking at Driving India’s Techade: D2M for Bharat – 5G Broadcast Summit, Kapoor said that common men have the right to have all the basics (services).

“How we will deliver that we have to think of. Either it could be by providing higher wage employment or it could be done by reducing the price of services a person needs or making it available so that the poorest of the poor has all those,” he said.
