India to benefit from convergence initiatives’

Statesman News Service
NEW DELHI, March. 18. —The convergence of Internet, telecom and telecast technologies would boost up India’s broadband industry and help the country to catch up with developed nations in the use of broadband, said the Trai Chairman, Mr Pradip Baijal.
The recent initiative by the government to bring cable TV under the purview of Trai would further expedite convergence of telecom, Internet and telecast technologies and networks, he added.
Supporting government’s decision to regulate cable telecast through Trai, Mr Baijal said the convergence of telecom and telecast networks would form the futuristic, next generation networks. “The 55 million cable TV reach forms a powerful medium”, he said.
Trai would come out with its recommendations on Internet and broadband services in next two weeks. “After removing artificial barriers between CDMA (WLL-M) and GSM (cellular mobile) technology, the Trai is now concentrating on the growth of broadband and Internet services”, he said.
