Broadband Tech INDIA 2010 organized by Bharat Exhibitions and supported by DOT Department of Telecom & DIT Department of Information Technology and DIT Department of Information Technology, was recently held at New Delhi to promote broadband in fast growing Indian Telecom Industry.
After information and education, the next step should be Broadband as a legal right.
But before that could be mandated in India as in some countries like Finland, the experts have to settle which way broadband and at what level of carrier it should be delivered.
In a wide area of low literacy and even lower computer literacy, the most effective solution lies in two-way cable TV, claimed Mr. Vijay Yadav, Managing Director, South Asia, UTStarcom India. There was already adequate fibre buried for connectivity with 30 million fiber loops.
But many other telecom experts present at the conference did not agree.
Mr. Puneet Garg Vice-president –Technical, Bharti Airtel claimed that wireless broadband access (BWA) and 3G would be the driver to provide access for the rural masses to this facility. BWA and 3G would be complementary technologies for broadband access. “Expose people to Internet and then decide at what speed it should be done” was Mr. Garg’s solution.
Mr. Bijender S. Yadav network planning head Sistema-Shyam Teleservices and Mr. T. R, Dua Deputy Director-General Cellular Operators Association of India endorsed for opening up 900MHz and lower speed spectrum for rural penetration. As lower the speed the wider is the area of penetration the 2.3GHz spectrum now given for 3G will raise costs for rural operations.
In the context of speeding up broadband and Internet usage, Mr. Rajesh Chharia President, Internet Service Providers Association of India decried the step motherly treatment being meted out to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that was constraining Internet spread.
Countrywide broadband penetration would help create a knowledge based economy and society and add 20 million jobs, Mr. Shashi Dharan , Managing Director of Bharat Exhibitions pointed out.

govt need to interfare to decide broadband criteria. it shud be 20 mbps in india as india is a fast growing market than usa
max November 22, 2010 at 2:27 pm
in usa it is 20mbps
max November 22, 2010 at 2:26 pm
now it is 2mbps
max November 22, 2010 at 2:26 pm
remember that time – criteria for broadband was 256kbps
max November 22, 2010 at 2:25 pm
i think 7.2mbps is enough to fulfill rural needs of broadband. it will do for next 30years
sahil November 22, 2010 at 1:44 pm
broadband in india has just become a topic of debate only instead of a tool of innovation & growth.
where today most of countries are commercializing LTE & FIBRE OPTIC networks, here in india no isp is willing to leave the 256kpbs mentality.
Anbu John Boban November 22, 2010 at 12:21 pm
it will be good if the default speed of 3G is 256kbps after post usage .. given by the operators… @ present docomo is providing for only .. 128 kbps with its 3.2mbps and 7.6mbps plans and with 21.1mbps plan the customer is provided 256kbps..

Expose people to Internet and then decide at what speed it(READ IT PROFIT MAKING) should be done
