Despite the data consumption peaking at 12 GB per user per month, the telecom networks did not fail even for a day. z The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of next-generation technologies such as automation and virtualisation, and has given a new impetus to indoor connectivity, creating a robust demand for digital infrastructure. These trends will continue to shape the sector in a post-Covid world as well, and IP-1s are geared up to seize this opportunity. z In recent years, towercos have shifted their business focus from traditional offerings to new and emerging areas such as fibre, small cells, Wi-Fi, IoT, smart poles and data centres, in a bid to become end-to-end digital infrastructure providers. This has helped towercos in strengthening their position in the evolving digital value chain, with greater participation in programmes like Digital India and the Smart Cities Mission.
