Accelerate implementation of new telecom policy: Trai Chairman

New Delhi: Trai Chairman R S Sharma on Thursday called for accelerating the implementation of the National Digital Communications Policy (NCDP), approved by the cabinet two years ago. Sharma said the coronavirus pandemic has shown the importance of communication infrastructure, and the telecom sector has played a central role during the crisis.

“The NDCP 2018 needs to be accelerated. It needs to be implemented. I have never come across a single person who has said there is any flaw in policy,” the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) Chairman said at a COAI meeting.
