Vodafone Idea (VIL) has said that there are many challenges related to rates, charges, availability of spectrum and prices, but with the support of the government and the current progressive policies, the telecom sector will be able to write a ‘success story’.
Vodafone Idea Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ravinder Collision said that many aspects such as the use of India-centric 5G, bottom-of-the-line or broadband access and digital connectivity to people without smartphones creates an expectation. He said that VIL is ready to take advantage of these opportunities through its long-term commitment and better investment record.
Collision addressed India Mobile Congress on Tuesday, saying, “There are some challenges too.” These are linked to rates, charges, availability and price of spectrum. The government understands these things and has come up with a progressive national digital communication policy. Now the government is implementing this policy. I am confident that with the support of the government, the industry and our company will be successful in writing success stories for the next 25 years as well.
