\"\"New Delhi: Tired of poor broadband speeds and painfully slow downloads? That's about to change soon, with the government looking to mandate a four-fold increase in the minimum broadband speed — from 512 kbps (kilobits per second) to 2 mbps (megabits per second).
\n
\"I propose to take up the matter with the communications ministry,\" IT minister Ravi Shankar<\/a> Prasad told TOI. \"We will consider laying down a policy for increasing the minimum broadband speed from the current levels.\"
\n
\nThe thriving start-up eco-system across the country and delivery of a variety of consumer services through mobile phone apps, including online retail, taxis and social media, are among the reasons that have led to the push for upgrading the minimum internet speed on wire and wireless networks.
\n
\nThe last time minimum internet speed was revised was in August 2014 when it was doubled from 256 kbps to 512 kbps. Experts and industry analysts say that the present speed is \"abysmally slow\".
\n
Prasad said that he expected
telecom<\/a> operators across the country to \"appreciate\" the move, which will now be taken up with the various stakeholders.
\n
\nTelecom operators in the country are moving to 4G services that promise data speeds in excess of 10 mpbs. The migration to 4G is happening at a time when prices of smartphones handsets are at their lowest levels, with a 4G device being available for Rs 3,000.
\n
\nThe government also feels that there is a need to upgrade the speed on fixed-line broadband connections that are reaching homes, especially when it has initiated a highly-ambitious broadband outreach programme to connect as many as 2.5 lakh gram panchayats through optic fibre cable network called ‘BharatNet'.
\n
According to a report by global content network Akamai, South Korea has the fastest average connection speed at 29 mbps and is followed by
Norway<\/a> at 21.3 mbps and Sweden at 20.6 mbps (global average is 6.3 mbps).
\n
\nAccording to a report by Nasscom and Akamai, India had around 330 million fixed and mobile internet subscriptions as of December 2015. This is expected to witness a growth of approximately 20% over the next five years, taking the total subscriptions to around 730 million by 2020.
\n
The move for a faster broadband speed of 2 mbps has already found resonance with telecom regulator
Trai<\/a> which had made a recommendation to this effect earlier.
\n
\nThe government feels that faster wireline and wireless internet speed has the potential to boost the country's competitiveness in all spheres of the economy while ensuring equal and inclusive growth across urban and rural areas.
\n
\n\"Speed must be above a certain threshold to enable use of desired applications such as video viewing or gaming… Higher electronic communication speeds are relevant in knowledge-based communities. This is because it spurs productivity, and hence increases competitiveness\" Trai had said in a May 24 report.
\n
\nThe International Telecommunication Union (ITU) said in a paper ‘Working Together to Connect The World by 2020' that a 10% increase in broadband penetration could raise economic growth by between 0.25% and 1.4%.

最小的宽带速度设置为2 mpbs放大4倍

可怜的宽带速度和缓慢下载不累吗?这就是变化很快,政府希望授权最低宽带速度增加到了原来的4倍——从512 kbps(千比特/秒)2 mbps(每秒)。

新德里:可怜的宽带速度和缓慢下载不累吗?这就是变化很快,政府希望授权最低宽带速度增加到了原来的4倍——从512 kbps(千比特/秒)2 mbps(每秒)。

“我建议此事与通讯,”部长Ravi Shankar普拉萨德告诉钢铁洪流。“我们将考虑制定一个政策增加了最低宽带速度从当前水平。”

全国蓬勃发展的创业生态系统和交付的各种消费服务通过手机应用程序,包括网上零售、出租车和社交媒体,导致的原因是推动升级最低互联网速度线和无线网络。

最后一次最低网络速度是修订是在2014年8月时增加了一倍,从256 kbps到512 kbps。专家和行业分析师说,目前的速度是“深不可测地缓慢”。

普拉萨德说,他预期电信全国运营商“欣赏”,他们将采取不同的涉众。

国内电信运营商正在向4 g服务承诺数据超过10 mpbs速度。迁移发生的4 g时,智能手机价格的最低水平,与4 g设备被用于3000卢比。

政府还觉得有必要升级的速度达到家庭固话宽带连接,特别是当它已经发起了一项雄心勃勃宽带宣传计划连接多达十万的2.5克panchayats通过光纤电缆网络称为“BharatNet”。

据全球内容网络Akamai韩国平均连接速度最快的29 mbps,紧随其后挪威在21.3 mbps和瑞典20.6 mbps(全球平均为6.3 mbps)。

据行业协会和Akamai,印度大约有3.3亿固定和移动互联网订阅截至2015年12月。这是将见证未来五年增长约20%,在总订阅7.3亿到2020年左右。

更快的移动宽带2 mbps的速度已经发现共振与电信监管机构火车已推荐了这种效果。

政府认为更快的有线和无线网络速度有可能提振该国经济的所有领域的竞争力,同时保证跨城乡平等、包容性增长。

“速度必须超过一定的阈值,以能够使用所需的应用,如视频查看或游戏…更高的电子通讯速度相关知识社区。这是因为它刺激生产力,从而提高竞争力”火车已经在5月24日的一份报告中说。

国际电信联盟(ITU)的一篇论文中说“一起工作到2020年连接世界”,宽带普及率增长10%可能提高经济增长在0.25%到1.4%之间。
