There are host of services available online and this is possible through internet access. The advent of mobile internet has changed the way business is done in India. There is a menu of services available on the internet and it includes education, healthcare, financial services, market statistics, government services, so on and so forth. With internet sky is the limit. Only if the internet access is in place, you will have access to e-governance, subsidies and more. Recently the Telecom Commission gave approval to virtual network operators. These facilitates have allowed operators to function without owning a spectrum. The spectrum usage charges are cut from 5% to 3% of the Adjusted Gross Revenues. Though, the one percent continues for Broadband Wireless Access Spectrum.
The irony is digital India is a far-fetched dream if the government does not take corrective measures. Even the Common Service Centers (CSCs) established in certain regions of the country does not seem to deliver the right momentum. Urban services are expensive and there are too little spectrum.
The Modi Government envisages a dream and it is to make India Digital. The emergence of e-governance, e-payments, e-education, e-knowledge, etc is turning the system transparent. Demonetization is a step towards it. The dream can be realized and India can be on par with developed nations. India rides on Broadband to achieve this goal. There are no options left but to make broadband services robust and available to the remotest corners of the country. Availability, affordability and reliability are the three factors that can push India towards digitalization.
There are long term positive effects of digitalization and this can be achieved through a reliable broadband connectivity. For critical services data and internet go hand in hand. It is important to understand that most people who live in India are deprived of affordable data connection. Only high speed broadband is the answer and this can be achieved through service providers like Viva Communications.
