  • Issues for Consultation 1. This Consultation Paper Has Discussed
    RESPONSE TO TRAI’S CONSULTATION PAPER NO. 16/2004 ON GROWTH OF TELECOM SERVICES IN RURAL INDIA Issues for Consultation 1. This consultation paper has discussed various issues related to Growth of Telecom Services in rural areas. Please give your comments on them and suggest any additional point to achieve higher growth of telecom services in rural India. The definition of Niche operator should be enlarged to include all districts where the rural tele-density is less than 3%. The Niche operator should be allowed to provide communications only in the villages. 2. Should ‘Niche Operators’ as discussed in this Consultation Paper get a support from Universal Service Fund? Yes. Niche operator should be able to bid for Universal Service Fund. 3. Instead of subsidizing final product, should the subsidy be given on inputs like Bandwidth and spectrum charges? Yes. Subsidy of bandwidth, spectrum charges and tower is more desirable. 4. In this paper it has been proposed that telecommunication facilities capable of offering multiple services including telephony using modern wireless technologies for access offer a near self sustaining model in rural areas which can be implemented through subsidization of input costs from Universal Obligation fund. Do you agree with this proposition? Offer your comments. Yes. The services to the villages are almost sustainable. Some help from USO would make it fully sustainable. 5. For increasing the percentage population exposure to cellular mobile services, should sharing of infrastructure such as buildings, tower, etc, be mandated through regulation with appropriate commercial compensation being provided to owners through regulatory intervention? Yes. This is a good suggestion.
