NEW DELHI: India is ranked below Bhutan and Sri Lanka in terms of broadband penetration and the multi-layered structure involved in the decision making for the sector needs to be overhauled, telecom regulator TRAI said today.
"India ranks 125th in the world for fixed broadband penetration. Some of our neighbours like Bhutan and Sri Lanka are ahead of us. We need to seriously think about it," TRAI Chairman Rahul Khullar said while sharing details of recommendations on the subject of 'Delivering Broadband Quickly'.
To promote the use of fixed-line broadband, TRAI also proposed that the licence fee on the revenues earned from fixed line should be exempted for 5 years.
