While Jio has said that it would reach the entire India with 5G by the end of 2023, Airtel has said that it would do the same by March 2024. Now, state IT Secretary Abhishek Jain has said that 5G would reach the entire Himachal Pradesh by the end of 2024. This means that both rural and urban areas of the state will be covered with 5G by the end of 2024. It would ensure that users get better internet facilities, and the digital divide would also be curbed.

One of the major problems which Jain shed some light on was the regular digging of land to install fibres and poles, which causes inconvenience to the people and also pollutes the environment.
