- Spectrum sharing, trading and surrender has been permitted as per extant Notice Inviting Application (NIA) terms & conditions and guidelines issued from time to time.
- Simplification of Procedure for SACFA (Standing Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency Allocations) clearance.
- Notification of Right of Way (RoW) Rules and launch of PM GatiShakti Sanchar portal has resulted in streamlining of RoW permissions and expeditious clearance for installation of telecom infrastructure.
- Provision has been made in RoW Rules for application and time-bound permission for usage of street furniture for installation of small cells and telegraph line.
Accordingly in a short period of 19 months after the launch of 5G services on 01.10.2022, approximately, 17 crore wireless data subscribers have started using 5G services in the country.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Housing & Urban Affairs, Shri Tokhan Sahu, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
