The case of 5G in India is curious. We have almost everyone ready for 5G here, from smartphone makers, telecoms and even consumers, but there are an inexplicable amount of delays from the ministry and departments under it. After some fun, Airtel recently announced that it is ready for a 5G rollout and Jio has made its intentions clear on several occasions. Vi has also joined the movement in stating that he is now ready for a commercial rollout of 5G in India and that it is ready to go as soon as he receives a go-ahead from the government and the desired spectrum becomes available. In a call to investors, Ravinder Takkar, Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Vi said: "We are deploying 5G-ready equipment, both radio and core... The country's 5G ecosystem is still nascent. , but we are well prepared for 5G deployment when the ecosystem grows.” Although Takkar has announced his desire to make 5G commercially available in the country, he has raised some questions about the general pattern of things. Takkar has raised concerns about the cost of the 3300 MHz to 3600 MHz spectrum bands reserved for 5G and this is precisely why not all telcos in India have committed to an early launch of 5G. He also hinted that government agencies may not yet be ready for the effective use of ultra-high-speed connectivity, suggesting an underdeveloped ecosystem and a lack of clarity in implementation. The implementation of the technology could still have an impact on the actual introduction of 5G in India. His thoughts were similar to what the Standing Committee on Information Technology said a few days ago. Led by Shashi Tharoor, the committee expressed concern about a lack of vision and control over deadlines. Lawmakers said this could mean history could repeat itself and the country could lose the 5G bus.
