The Government\u2019s keenness to <strong>expedite (Speed up the progress of; facilitate) <\/strong>the<strong> roll-out (officially launch or introduce a new product or service)<\/strong> was framed by Ms. Sitharaman as being propelled by an appreciation of the latest generation telecommunication technology\u2019s ability to serve as an enabler of economic growth and job creation. Commenting on the Budget announcement, Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said TRAI was expected to submit its recommendations on the spectrum to be set aside for 5G by March, adding that the auction for the airwaves would be held soon after. While last week\u2019s <strong>flurry (a short time in which there is suddenly a lot of activity) <\/strong>of announcements have raised the possibility that the next auction of telecom spectrum may be held within the next few months, there is little clarity on the approach the Government plans to take with regard to the crucial issues surrounding the introduction of 5G services. Foremost are questions around the particular frequencies the regulator is likely to recommend, the Government\u2019s plans on pricing the spectrum, and most crucially, the very <strong>viability (Capable of being done in a practical and useful way) <\/strong>of the new technology, both for the telecom companies and the economy as a whole. With the financially stressed private telecom service provider industry now reduced to a near <strong>duopoly (State of market dominance by two companies)<\/strong>, as Vodafone Idea continues to bleed losses and subscribers and even plans to convert some of its outstanding interest dues to the DoT into an equity stake that will make the Union government the largest shareholder, the sector\u2019s <strong>appetite (a strong desire for something) <\/strong>for the highly capital intensive 5G technology is unlikely to be substantial at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That 5G represents an <strong>exponential ((of an increase) becoming more and more rapid) leap (An abrupt transition) <\/strong>in technology is beyond doubt. However, most countries that have commercialised 5G so far largely find the technology still predominantly deployed as an upgraded replacement for 4G in terms of end use, with the industrial and public utility applications envisaged still at least a few years away. Also, for the new technology to work at its optimum potential the Government would need to not only offer the key operational frequencies including the below 1 GHz, the C-Band frequencies around 3.5 GHz, and the higher 26 GHz but also crucially enable the transport or backhaul of signals between the base stations and telecom operator\u2019s core network by offering no- to low-cost E-Band airwaves. With the COVID-19 pandemic having shown up the existing mobile networks\u2019 inadequacies in terms of reach, especially in enabling the delivery of education to remote and rural students, it may make the most sense to delay the introduction of 5G until policymakers are sure its economic payoff will outweigh the high cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/government\/esic-udc\/?refcode=3590&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Feb+7%2C+2022%3B+Day+229_070222_ESICUDCM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=ESICUDCM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ESIC_UDC_Free_Mock-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"ESIC_UDC_Free_Mock\" class=\"wp-image-13712\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve Your vocabulary with the help of these editorial-analyses which we publish on a daily basis.
