\"The Telecom Commission<\/a> is scheduled to meet on July 11. It will discuss NDCP<\/a> (National Digital Communications Policy<\/a>),\" the sources said.
The department released the draft of the proposed telecom policy<\/a>, branded as National Digital Communications Policy<\/a> 2018.
It aims to attract USD 100 billion or about Rs 6.5 lakh crore investments in the digital communications sector by 2022 with the help of reforms.
Promising rationalisation of levies such as spectrum charges to rejuvenate debt-ridden telecom sector, the proposed new telecom policy seeks to provide broadband access to all with 50 mbps speed, 5G services and create 40 lakh new jobs by 2022.
It proposes to adopt \"Optimal Pricing of Spectrum\" to ensure sustainable and affordable access to digital communications. High spectrum price and related charges have been main concern of telecom services segment, which is reeling under a debt of around Rs 7.8 lakh crore.
The policy will need cabinet approval once the telecom commission firms up its view on the same.<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":64840957,"title":"Can\u2019t afford to miss the 5G bus: Telecom minister Manoj Sinha","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/cant-afford-to-miss-the-5g-bus-telecom-minister-manoj-sinha\/64840957","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":64842860,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Telecom Commission to discuss new policy on July 11","synopsis":"The department released the draft of the proposed telecom policy, branded as National Digital Communications Policy 2018.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/telecom-commission-to-discuss-new-policy-on-july-11","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"PTI","artdate":"2018-07-03 17:56:36","lastupd":"2018-07-03 17:56:36","breadcrumbTags":["ndcp","Telecom Commission","telecom department","telecom policy","National Digital Communication Policy","policy"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/telecom-commission-to-discuss-new-policy-on-july-11"}}" data-news_link="//www.iser-br.com/news/telecom-commission-to-discuss-new-policy-on-july-11/64842860">
