The DNDCP-2018 is comprehensive and takes a holistic view of increasing the penetration of high quality Digital communications in India. The vision and the
objectives are commendable, especially the three-pronged approach of \u201cCONNECT-PROPEL-SECURE\u201d that encompasses all aspects of Digital communications.<\/p>
Having said this, I feel that the key challenge with the Policy document is that the stated vision and policies are not ably supported by a very credible implementation plan that can adhere to the specified timelines. We need to learn from similar challenges faced during implementation of NTP-2012 objectives.<\/p>
NTP-2012 outlined a similar vision of \u201cBroadband for all\u201d to bridge the digital divide. However, the implementation fell woefully short of achieving the desired objectives within the desired timelines, specifically around rural teledensity and broadband subscriptions among other objectives.<\/p>
While rural teledensity increased from 39% in 2011 to 56% by end of 2017, it fell way short of the promised 70% mark. The current growth rate of about 3-3.5% annually indicates that we are at least 3-5 years away from achieving this objective. In my opinion, we could still accelerate the growth rate through judicious use of the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF), which has a current unutilized balance of INR 48,372 crores.<\/p>
Similarly, tracking the broadband subscriptions based on the new definition of >2Mbps speeds would have provided a more realistic picture of the broadband penetration in India. Moving from today\u2019s penetration levels to the vision of \u201cBroadband for All\u201d by 2022 is a big challenge and can be achieved only if the real numbers are tracked and gaps are objectively assessed.<\/p>
Note: FCC defines broadband as download speeds of at least 25Mbps and that the average broadband download speeds for OECD countries has surpassed 7Mbps and ITU-T defines broadband as download speeds exceed 1.5Mbps.<\/em><\/p> What is new in DNDCP-2018?<\/strong><\/p> There are newer areas specific to the DNDCP-2018 \u2013 including 5G cellular technology, IoT, Cloud, BigData, AI, Industry 4.0 and of course, Security. It is very encouraging and gratifying to see this focus beyond Telecom infrastructure.<\/p> Here are some suggestions to ensure that there is a viable implementation plan behind the vision and objectives of DNDCP-2018.<\/p> 1) Judicious use of the USO Fund. The USO Funds have been initiated and set up with the key intent to bridging the digital divide between rural and urban settings. The generated corpus must be disbursed fairly to ensure that affordable, communication services are available to most citizens so that they can take 2) It is heartening to read in the policy that Spectrum will be designated as a key natural resource. The auction methodology followed in the past for 3G\/4G 3) The thought behind common infrastructure for Smart Cities is a great idea and will help the Smart city initiatives to progress. However, the decision to create a common infrastructure must be taken and implemented with accelerated pace and not delay the Smart City initiatives any further.<\/p> 4) The DNDCP-2018 has a focus on initiatives such as Industry 4.0 which will spur the \u201cMake in India\u201d vision. There are other initiatives (such as Bharat Udyog) with similar vision. It is important that all such Government initiatives collaborate so that they can make optimal use of the funds and share the benefits towards the common vision.<\/p> 5) Lastly, it is important to do a reasonable analysis of the past gaps and study the challenges. This will help us in achieving the DNDCP-2018 objectives and not repeat the same mistakes once again.<\/p> There is a lot at stake for India to be a Global leader in the Digital Communications area. As always, the vision is great and the policies are created with the best of intent, however, we cannot fall behind this time around on the implementation front.<\/p>","blog_img":"","featured":0,"status":"Y","seo_title":"Hits and misses of National Digital Communications Policy 2018","seo_url":"hits-and-misses-of-national-digital-communications-policy-2018","cms_link":"hits-and-misses-of-national-digital-communications-policy-2018\/3101","updated_at":"2018-06-25 15:27:42","time":"2018-06-25 15:27:42","authors":[{"author_name":"R.

政府最近发布的国家数字通信政策草案(dndcp - 2018),最终将取代国家电信2012年政策(国家结核控制规划- 2012)。 dndcp - 2018是全面的和需要的整体视图增加高质量数字通信的渗透印度。视觉和 说到此,我觉得政策文件的关键挑战是在远景和策略巧妙地不支持通过一个非常可靠的实施计划,可以遵守指定的时间表。我们需要学习面临相似的挑战在2012年国家结核控制规划目标的实现。 2012年国家结核控制规划概述了类似的“宽带”的愿景弥合数字鸿沟。然而,实现预期的目标的实现下降严重短内所需的时间,特别是在农村电话密度和宽带订阅等目标。 而农村电话密度从2011年的39%增加到2017年底的56%,下跌的承诺70%的关口。目前每年大约3 - 3.5%的增长率表明我们至少3 - 5年实现这一目标。在我看来,我们仍然可以加快增长速度通过明智地使用普遍服务义务基金(USOF),拥有当前闲散的平衡INR 48372卢比。 同样,跟踪宽带订阅新定义的基础上> 2 mbps的速度提供了一个更现实的宽带普及率在印度。从今天的渗透水平到2022年“宽带”的愿景是一个很大的挑战,只能如果实数跟踪和差距是客观评估。 注意:FCC宽带定义为至少25 mbps的下载速度,经合组织国家的平均宽带下载速度已超过7 mbps和ITU-T定义宽带下载速度超过1.5 mbps。 新dndcp - 2018年是什么? 有更新的领域特定于dndcp - 2018包括5 g细胞技术,物联网、云、BigData,人工智能,行业当然,4.0和安全。很鼓励和可喜的看到这个焦点之外的电信基础设施。 这里有一些建议来确保有一个切实可行的实施计划背后的愿景和目标dndcp - 2018。 1)明智地使用USO的基金。USO基金已启动和建立关键意图缩小农村和城市之间的数字鸿沟的设置。生成的语料库必须支付相当确保负担得起的,通信服务可用于大多数的公民,这样他们就可以 2)它是振奋人心的读谱的政策将被指定为一个关键自然资源。拍卖方法是在过去3 g / 4 g 3)公共基础设施智能城市背后的思想是一个好主意,将帮助智能城市项目进展。然而,必须采取决定创建一个公共基础设施和实现加速的步伐,而不是进一步推迟智能城市项目。 4)dndcp - 2018有一个重点项目等行业4.0将刺激“印度”的愿景。还有其他措施(如巴拉特Udyog)具有类似的愿景。是很重要的,所有这些政府项目合作,这样他们就可以利用最优的资金向共同的愿景和共享的好处。 5)最后,重要的是要做一个合理的分析过去的差距和研究的挑战。这将帮助我们实现dndcp - 2018的目标,而不是再次重复同样的错误。 有很多利害关系对印度成为全球领先的数字通信区域。一如既往,是伟大的愿景和策略是创建最好的意图,不过,这次我们不能落后在实现方面。
advantage of such technologies for enriching their lives.<\/p>
Spectrum allocation has not been the most conducive for the Telecom operators. Today, most Telecom operators are operating at a loss \u2013 because they are not able to fully recover from the huge capital expenses of infrastructure roll-out as well as nationwide spectrum acquisition. DoT should make available the \u201cright of way\u201d and spectrum at very affordable price-points (In the past, China has not auctioned 3G or 4G spectrum, though they may explore auction for 5G) to provide much needed respite to the Operators. Further, any subsidies towards the roll-out of communication infrastructure can help Telecom Operators to become profitable. This will help them enhance their R&D and investments towards future expansion.<\/p> 
目标是值得称道的,尤其是“CONNECT-PROPEL-SECURE”三管齐下的方法,包括数字通信的各个方面。
利用这些技术,丰富他们的生活。
频谱分配没有电信运营商最有利。今天,大多数电信运营商都是亏本经营,因为他们无法完全恢复从基础设施的巨额资本费用转出以及全国光谱采集。点应该提供“正确的方式”和频谱非常负担得起的点(在过去,中国没有3 g或4 g频谱拍卖,尽管他们可能探索拍卖5 g)为运营商提供急需的喘息。此外,任何补贴对通信基础设施的推出可以帮助电信运营商实现盈利。这将帮助他们提高他们的研发投资对未来的扩张。
