While the data traffic is growing at a quantum level, therefore, there is a need for newer telecom infrastructure to maintain the growing data traffic demand. Also with the rise of 5G and inevitably the 6G in some time, data traffic and telecom infrastructure to accelerate further. In this scenario, we need to understand the logical capabilities of The Indian Telecom sector deriving data traffic and telecom infrastructure.
The latest White Paper of COAI, ‘Addressing Rising Data Traffic and Associated Infrastructure Costs in Indian Telecom’ helps you understand the practical approach to infrastructure development, maintenance and upgradation costs, and brings out the need for contribution by different stakeholders.
Instead, COAI strives to bring a more practical approach using statistics and facts to arrive at conclusions logically has now been adopted through a White Paper on “Addressing Rising Data Traffic and Associated Infrastructure Costs in Indian Telecom”.
This white paper from COAI studies the emerging scenario, the significance of responsible sharing of infrastructure development, maintenance and upgradation costs, and brings out the need for contribution by different stakeholders.
The COAI White Paper discusses the Capex and data traffic for 2014-2023, made clearly with segmentations of the growth patterns observed during the period, wherein 3 distinct patterns emerge. The data thus captured, has been mapped graphically to bring out the additional burden of LTG traffic, supported by statistics and simple math.
With the above analysis, COAI has formulated 5 models of resolution to the issue at hand, with 2 of these models being workable solutions. However, the final recommendation is for a model that keeps MSMEs and Startups out of the ambit of fair-share (as consistently maintained and intended by the TSPs), and shows that the burden on the TSPs due to the LTGs’ growing traffic patterns, even without the smaller players, is substantial and needs to be addressed.
All other concerns voiced from time to time have been addressed in this model, which has been submitted as the recommended mode to the Government in the White Paper.”
