Ashwini Vaishnav says, “Trai is studying global best practices, once they come out with recommendations in about 3-4 months, we will take a final decision.” The Prime Minister has given us a clear mandate that India must become a leader in telecom technology, which means that every aspect of telecom technology has to be worked upon in creating new solutions, ensuring that India’s inputs are taken globally at every platform. But be heard.
