\n
\nAre you currently working with the government or other stakeholders for Digital India<\/a> initiative?<\/strong>
\n
\nCurrently we are at a discussion stage. We work with all the stakeholders, wherever we feel that we can add value to the Digital India<\/a> initiatives, be it securing or accelerating certain government sites or certain workloads which are important to the citizens of India. For that matter, we are also working closely with those involved in making policy decisions to ensure that the right kind of experience is brought to the citizens of India.
\n
\nFew states are setting up cyber coordination cells. What is the role you are playing there?<\/strong>
\n
\nSome of the state governments are looking at us from an advisory kind of role to help them on how to set up security command centers and in terms of building an infrastructure which would be fast, reliable and secure.
\n
\nHow robust is the role of cybersecurity<\/a>, in a country like India which is moving towards a less cash economy?<\/strong>
\n
\nIt is very important. I think irrespective of whether we are moving to a less cash economy or whether we are doing transaction in the traditional way, I think one thing that we need to accept is that the penetration of internet is increasing, more number of people are coming on to the internet and I believe that as long as that is happening, more businesses are moving to the internet. So wherever there is internet in a central theme, security will play a very critical role, because one can’t want business to be impacted. This could not only be as a direct target, but also as a part of the collateral damage being done to somebody else. So I think security has to play a very critical role. In fact, the challenges in terms of how to make internet more secure are much more paramount today than anything else.
\n
\nWith the entry of a new player Reliance Jio, the average price has come down? Do you think that this is a move in the right direction by all the telcos?<\/strong>
\n
\nI think this is a right move, because if broadband prices are coming down, you’ll have more number of users accessing the internet thereby ensuring that whatever transactions they have to do are done using the internet. Like we discussed today, internet is the central theme around which businesses are being built today. And if you have more number of users accessing the internet at the right prices, you will have more efficiencies coming into the system, into processes, where they will be able to impact the economy of the nation in a positive way. So I think it’s a very positive move by all telcos.
\n
\nAccording to you, what should telcos do to further penetrate into rural India?<\/strong>
\n
I think it’s just not about telcos but all parties and stakeholders that are involved need to come together and have a singular vision about it. Be it companies like Akamai<\/a>, be it telcos, be it government or broadband providers, I think they all need to have a holistic view about bringing internet to the rural India. The government is definitely playing an important and positive role here. I think we see the internet penetration increasing in India the years, but we definitely want it to happen at a faster speed. I also believe that there is a lot of infrastructure which is already available and how do we consume those resources available today such as one laid by RailTel<\/a>.
\n
\nDo you think alternative mechanisms such as Google<\/a>’s project Loon, Facebook<\/a>’s Aquila and RailTel<\/a>’s broadband can help in bridging digital divide?<\/strong>
\n
\nI think we need to look at all options available. As we know that India is a mobile first country. We didn’t see the wire telephony revolution in India at all. We moved directly to mobile phones. We need to build infrastructure to provide broadband to rural India. It is a very daunting task, so my suggestion to every stakeholder is that we should look at whatever options to increase broadband and reduce costs. It could be balloons or satellites, anything that makes it easier for us.
\n
\nHow much have you invested till now?<\/strong>
\n
\nI won’t be able to share the dollar value. But what I can tell you is that, we started in 2005 as 35 people and today we are 1800 people, spread across various functions. We have offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and two offices in Bangalore, and as the need arises, we’ll continue to grow.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":59950549,"title":"400 top Cognizant executives accept VRS","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/400-top-cognizant-executives-accept-vrs\/59950549","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":59953238,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Daunting task to build rural broadband infrastructure: Akamai's Sidharth Malik","synopsis":"'Some of the state governments are looking at us from an advisory kind of role to help them on how to set up security command centers and in terms of building an infrastructure which would be fast, reliable and secure'","titleseo":"telecomnews\/daunting-task-to-build-broadband-infrastructure-for-rural-india-akamais-sidharth-malik","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Muntazir Abbas","author_link":"\/author\/479234376\/muntazir-abbas","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479234376.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":479234376,"author_name":"Muntazir Abbas","author_seo_name":"muntazir-abbas","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ETTelecom","artdate":"2017-08-07 14:29:18","lastupd":"2017-08-07 21:37:48","breadcrumbTags":["Akamai Technologies","Akamai","Facebook","Google","Sidharth Malik","Industry","Interviews","RailTel","cybersecurity","Digital India"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/daunting-task-to-build-broadband-infrastructure-for-rural-india-akamais-sidharth-malik"}}" data-authors="[" muntazir abbas"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2017-08-07" data-index="article_1">

艰巨的任务来构建农村宽带基础设施:Akamai的Sidharth马利克
一些国家的政府正在看我们从一个顾问的角色,帮助他们如何设置安全指挥中心和建立一个基础设施将快速、可靠和安全的
美国云快递公司Akamai技术认为利益相关者应该看所有选择意味着印度数字鸿沟的桥梁。Akamai技术印度公司董事总经理Sidharth马利克在交互ETTelecom Muntazir阿巴乐动娱乐招聘斯说,电信公司提供负担得起的宽带服务将在印度的经济增长发挥建设性作用。编辑摘录。
你目前工作与政府或其他利益相关者数字印度倡议?
目前我们正处于讨论阶段。我们与所有的涉众工作,无论我们觉得我们可以添加价值数字印度行动,保护或加速某些政府网站或某些工作负载对印度公民的重要。对于这个问题,我们也与那些参与政策决策密切合作,以确保正确的经验带到印度的公民。
一些州正在建立网络协调细胞。你玩是什么作用?
一些国家的政府正在看我们从一个顾问的角色,帮助他们如何设置安全指挥中心和建立一个基础设施将快速、可靠和安全。
的作用有多强劲网络安全在印度这样的国家,正朝着一个更少的现金经济?
它是非常重要的。我认为无论我们是否搬到一个更少的现金经济或我们是否做的事务在传统的方式中,我认为一件事我们需要接受的是,互联网的普及率越来越多,越来越多的人进入互联网,我相信只要是发生,更多的企业正在转向互联网。所以只要有互联网在一个中心主题,安全将发挥非常重要的作用,因为不想让业务受到影响。这不仅可以作为一个直接目标,但也间接伤害的一部分做给其他人。所以我认为安全起到非常关键的作用。事实上,挑战而言,如何让网络更安全更重要的今天。
随着新的球员信实Jio平均价格下来了吗?你认为这是一个由所有电信公司朝正确的方向吗?
我认为这是一个正确之举,因为如果宽带价格正在下降,你将会有更多数量的用户上网从而确保无论交易他们所要做的是通过互联网完成。像我们今天所讨论的,互联网企业正在建设的中心主题。如果你有更多的访问互联网的用户数量在正确的价格,你将会有更多的效率进入系统,进入流程,他们将能够以一种积极的方式影响国家的经济。所以我认为这是一个非常积极的移动电信公司。
根据你,电信公司应该做些什么来进一步渗透到印度农村?
我认为这不是电信公司但所涉及各方和利益相关者需要团结起来,有一个奇异的视野。是这样的公司Akamai电信、政府或宽带供应商,我认为他们都需要有一个全面的视图将互联网带到印度农村。政府肯定是发挥着重要和积极的作用。我认为我们看到了互联网普及率增加在印度多年来,但是我们肯定希望它发生的速度更快。我也相信有很多可用的基础设施已经和我们如何使用这些资源可用今天如一个了RailTel。
你认为等替代机制吗谷歌龙的项目,脸谱网亚居拉和RailTel的宽带可以帮助弥合数字鸿沟?
我认为我们需要考虑所有的选项可用。正如我们所知,印度是一个手机第一的国家。在印度我们没有看到线电话革命。我们直接搬到手机。我们需要印度农村基础设施建设提供宽带。这是一个非常艰巨的任务,所以我建议每一个利益相关者是我们应该看什么选项来提高宽带和降低成本。它可能是气球或卫星,使我们更容易。
你有多少投资到现在?
我不能分享美元价值。但是我可以告诉你的是,我们开始在2005年35人,今天我们1800人,分布在不同的功能。我们有办事处在德里、孟买、钦奈和班加罗尔的两个办公室,并在必要时,我们将继续增长。
