Many things that pandemic taught will become permanent: Trai chief

New Delhi: Trai chairman R S Sharma on Friday said that many things like the role of technology that the coronavirus pandemic has taught the country will become permanent. Sharma said that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India will look at all the regulations with a new perspective.

“I feel that what this crisis has taught us, will become permanent in this country which will be actually good for us. I believe digital transaction is always better because it is cost effective, environment friendly, instantaneous, frugal and last but not the least it is contactless,” Sharma said in a virtual conference organized by think tank body Broadband India Forum.

He said in the last few days people relied upon and used information and communication technology more than physical infrastructure like rail, road and air transport for carrying out their work.
