Scindia orders telcos to quit whining and build stuff

Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia addressed telecom industry representatives during Thursday's advisory committee session. The government maintains its focus on eliminating digital gaps while promoting domestic telecom equipment production. Service providers must coordinate directly with the Department of Telecommunications to deliver timely feedback on policy matters. Most cybersecurity and spam control concerns have been resolved through collaborative efforts.

Three major challenges require further attention from stakeholders. Digital access inequality, spectrum licensing procedures, and fixed-line service profitability remain under active review. Equipment manufacturers face four unresolved matters related to manufacturing costs and component sourcing. Industry participants must submit their recommendations by October 6 for comprehensive policy development.
