Research and Action Agenda for a National Broadband Initiative Workshop.
Website: National Broadband Initiative
Event Report: National Broadband Initiative workshop report
Event Description:
Recognizing the positive effects of broadband on economic growth, several developed countries have not only focused on policy measures to accelerate growth and penetration of broadband, but have also included it as an area for fiscal stimulus. However, increasing gap between developing and developed countries, not only in terms of mobile coverage but also in terms of broadband penetration indicates an increasing gap in potential for economic growth. Further, within these countries there is a huge disparity between the metros, urban and rural areas. Increasing gaps in broadband deployment are seen as gaps in competitiveness of economies, and therefore, it is vitally important for India to develop a national agenda for broadband deployment.
This is an initiative by IITCOE for all stakeholders including the DoT, TRAI, DIT, private operator, Indian Railways/RailTel/Infrastructure Providers, other government user agencies such as the Planning Commission, academic institutions, industry and others to develop a research agenda and an action plan for broadband deployment in the country. A dialogue between the policymakers and the researchers is necessary to develop the outline of a medium term action plan and a policy research agenda, covering identified current and future issues which will require further work.
Topics to be discussed:
1) Experience of Other Countries
2) Technological Developments
3) Demand Factors
4) State Level Factors
5) Addressing the Needs of Rural, Semi urban, Low Ability to Pay Customers
Organizers:
1) IIM Ahmedabad Idea Telecom Centre of Excellence (IITCOE)
2) Indian Council for Research in International Economic Relations (ICRIER)
Objective:
This is a call to all interested stakeholders including the DoT, TRAI, DIT, other government agencies such as the Planning Commission, academic institutions, industry and others to develop a research agenda and an action plan for broadband deployment in the country. A dialogue between the policymakers and the researchers is necessary to develop the outline of a medium term action plan and a policy research agenda, covering identified current and future issues which will require further work.
