Mumbai, Dec.8: Billionaire business tycoon Mukesh Ambani proposed on Wednesday that India should make the rollout of 5G, the fifth-generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks, a national priority in order to promote the digital revolution.
He stated during the India Mobile Congress that India must finish the transition from 2G to 4G and 5G as soon as possible.
“To keep millions of Indians at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid confined to 2G is to deprive them of the benefits of the digital revolution,” he said.
The rollout of 5G should be India’s national priority, according to Ambani, whose company Reliance Jio ushered in the revolution in cheaper mobile data and connectivity in 2016.
“We should not lose sight of the fact that affordability has been a critical driver of the phenomenally rapid expansion of the mobile subscriber base in India. India should move towards greater digital inclusion, and not greater digital exclusion,” he said.
Fiber connectivity should also be completed on a mission mode across India, according to Ambani, who is also the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries Ltd.
