Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has submitted five point recommendations on Telecom and Broadband to A Raja, Minister for Communications and Information Technology.
The five point agenda included roadmap for accelerating inclusive, equitable and sustainable growth of broadband in India to reach 695 million users by 2014, including 309 million in rural India, as per CII Broadband Study 'India 2009-2014: Broadband Roadmap for Inclusive Growth'. CII has recommended providing autonomy to USO Fund administrator for creation of broadband infrastructure for equitable use of all and to strengthen the infrastructure using funds from the Universal Services Obligation (USO) fund.
CII emphasized that the USO body should be given responsibility of laying down high speed backhaul via Fiber To The Kerb (FTTK) infrastructure across the country and provide a single-window clearance and lower the taxes for towers and digging.
