‡ Digital Divide
± Rural teledensity 27 , poorer states having lower penetration
± 5 lakh out of 6 lakh villages covered
± USO fund set up in 2002, has 25000 Cr corpus

‡ Broadband still has low penetration, target 20m by 2010

‡ Telecom Equipment manufacturing sector under-
performing. Output in 2009 merely 4880 Cr and exports
1000 Cr.
‡ Echo system to develop
‡ Issues like green telecom, EMF radiation rightly gaining
importance
‡ Innovations required
