“It is difficult to ensure service quality<\/a> in wireless medium that has its own limitations related to bandwidth quality and upload and download issues. India<\/a> should come on the fixed-line broadband infrastructure,” RS Sharma<\/a>, chairman, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai), told ETTelecom.
.
US-based Ookla, a broadband network testing firm, in a recent Speedtest Global Index, ranked India 67th for fixed broadband speed with 20.72 megabit<\/a> per second (mbps), below the average download speed of 42.71 mbps worldwide.
Sharma, though, said Trai has well-designed processes and practices to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) but will refrain from naming and shaming telcos for not meeting benchmarks.
“We ask for explanations, issue show-cause notices and levy financial disincentives — a process which we have already been carrying out,” the top official said.
With increasing instances of call drops and slow internet connectivity<\/a>, the sector watchdog is pushing for increasing fibre<\/a> connectivity. Industry statistics also reveal that the fixed line subscriber base has declined 0.38% from 22.27 million in July 2018 to 22.19 million in August 2018, with 1.18 billion mobile connections currently transporting 97% of data wirelessly.
Sharma said that an optical-fibre backbone was highly desirable to carry large volume of data. It has earlier suggested the government to make use of cable TV infrastructure in the country that has a distinct advantage of last mile access with a reach of nearly 150 million homes at 1,500 locations.
“Our networks are transporting more data than the US and China put together. We are second-largest in terms of the consumer base and No. 1 in data consumption, yet we are not good in fibre or fixed-line infrastructure,” Sharma said.
Trai, according to him, has been putting greater emphasis on accelerating fiberization in the country, especially in the backdrop of Narendra Modi-led NDA government’s aggressive fifth-generation (5G) technology rollout strategy.
“Fibre is a pre-requisite for 5G technology and is required for connecting the existing telecom towers in the country,” the chief regulator added.
The centre is also working to establish the National Fibre Authority - a dedicated group to hasten fibre deployment in the country - as a part of newly-unveiled policy<\/a> roadmap.

“这是很难保证的服务质量在无线媒介,有其自身的局限性与带宽质量和上传和下载问题。印度应该在固话宽带基础设施。”RS沙玛主席,印度电信管理部门(火车),告诉ETTele乐动娱乐招聘com。
。
美国Ookla宽带网络测试公司在最近的一次Speedtest全局索引,印度排名第67位固定宽带速度为20.72兆比特每秒(mbps),低于全球平均42.71 mbps的下载速度。
不过,Sharma说火车已经精心设计的过程和实践,以确保服务质量(QoS),但将避免点名批评标准电信公司没有会议。
“我们要求解释,问题说出理由通知和征收金融约束——这一过程我们已经执行,”官员说。
调用实例的增加下降和缓慢的互联网连接行业监管机构正在推动增长纤维连通性。行业统计数据也显示,固话用户数量下降了0.38%,从2227万年的2018年7月到2219万年的2018年8月,有11.8亿移动无线连接目前运输97%的数据。
Sharma说,光纤主干高度需要携带大量的数据。它建议政府早些时候使用有线电视基础设施的国家,有一个明显的优势最后一英里访问近1.5亿户家庭的1500的位置。
“我们的网络传输更多的数据比美国和中国的总和。我们是第二大的消费群体消费和1号数据,然而我们在纤维或固定电话基础设施并不好,”Sharma说。
火车,根据他的说法,特别强调加速纤维化,特别是Narendra Modi-led NDA的背景下政府的激进的第五代(5克)技术实现策略。
“纤维是一个先决条件需要5 g技术和连接现有的电信塔,”首席监管机构补充道。
该中心还致力于建立全国纤维权威——一个专门小组加速纤维部署在中国——newly-unveiled的一部分政策路线图。
