How 5G will impact various sectors: It can unleash new economic opportunities and societal
benefits giving it the potential for being a transformational force for Indian Society.
▫ Economic Benefits:
§ According to A.J. Paulraj Committee report, the overall impact of 5G on Indian economy
can be upto $1 trillion by 2035. It will help business especially those that operate outside
the reach of broadband networks or suffer from slow fixed line services.
▫ Cyber Security: Deploying 5G when we have a shaky cyber security foundation is like erecting a
structure on soft sand.

▫ First, the police need to be trained so that they recognize new 5G enabled crimes.
▫ Second, training programs focused on 5G based crimes must be developed. This includes
identifying potential scenarios for new types of crimes and their prevention.
▫ Third, government and telecom companies may think of setting up a 5G crime monitoring task
force to monitor and identify new crimes and develop counter measures.
▫ Fourth, bring changes in laws/rules/ regulations to prevent these kind of crimes

§ High reserve prices for the airwave sale (e.g. for the 700 MHz band, there was no buyer in
March and even in recent Aug 2022 auction, only Jio was a bidder)
§ Poor infrastructure: India simply doesn’t have adequate fibre network.
B) STANDALONE VS NON-STANDALONE 5G
» Each architecture has its advantage and disadvantages. The method used by the operators primarily
reflect their view of the market for the new technology, and consequent rollout strategy.
» Standalone Mode: In this mode, the 5G network operates with dedicated equipment and runs parallel to
Le
the existing 4G network. In this architecture, Radio Access Network (RAN) and the core are completely
new, and there will be a clear separation of different network functions in line with the 3GPP
ab
recommendations.
§ Jio has chosen this method. It has committed an investment of Rs 2 lakh crore for its standalone 5G
network.
§ Advantages: Provides full 5G capabilities and new network functionalities such as slicing that
provides greater flexibility to operators to efficiently use their spectrum holding; Simplify network
operations; much faster than NSA 5G -> improved user experience; Long term solution.
§ Limitations: High Initial Investment
» Non-Standalone Mode (NSA): It this, the 5G network is supported by the 4G Core infrastructure. The
operators can use their existing capacities and LTE architecture to deploy 5G services while implementing
§ Advantages: Reduce initial cost/investment; Maximizes the utilization of existing network; Reduces
time of deployment; first national coverage
§ Limitation: Only short term/medium term solution; Not as fast as pure 5G
» Given that the non-standalone networks are built on existing infrastructure, the initial cost and rollout
times are significantly lower. It lets operators maximize the utilization of existing network infrastructure
with relatively lower investment.
» Compatibility with existing device ecosystems: Most smartphones today have compatibility to connect
to non-standalone 5G network – which are essentially 5G airwaves transmitted through 4G networks. It
will require software updates by their OEMs to be able to connect to standalone networks.
- What is Ferberization: The process of connecting radio towers with each other via optical fibre cables is
called fiberisation. It helps in providing full utilization of network capacity and carry large amounts of data
once 5G services are rolled out. It will also aid in providing additional bandwidth and stronger backhaul
support.
- As a result, fiber backhaul remains an important part of transport across all telecoms.
- Where does India stand with respect to tower fiberisation?
» To transition into 5G, India needs at least 16 times more fiber: According to estimates by STL. In
S
India, currently only 33% of towers are fiberized compared to 65%-70% in South Korea and around

§ The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital
machines, objects, animal, or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer
data over a network without human to human or human to computer interaction.
§ A thing in the internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a
biochip transponder, an automobile with a built-in-sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low -
or any other natural or manmade object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability
to transfer data over a network.
§ This is achieved by finely fabricated micro-controllers, which are small computers themselves and are
used internally by various single board computers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Sensors (to detect and
collect information) and micro-controllers to transport information, together, can make anything a thing
in IoT.
§ IPv6's (16 bytes or 128bits) huge increase in address space is an important factor in the development of
the Internet of Things.

ú Framing of Guidelines -> Currently India lacks an official set of guidelines on the use and spread of IoT
technology. This is required to help India achieve its full potential in IoT.
ú Promote Exploration of IoT by more financial allocation to this sector. The impact of IoT is going to be
huge and it’s important that India should be ready for it.
ú Strengthening Cyber Security Framework -> with IoT will come increased vulnerability of various sectors.
The chances of cyber-terrorism or cyber warfare will increase. And therefore, India needs to strengthen
its cyber-security framework to ensure that that IoT’s positives are enhanced, and limitations are reduced

▫ Like most new technologies, it can also be weaponized to inflict harm. It can inflict damage to individuals,
institutions, businesses, and democracy. They can be threat to psychology, security, political stability, and
business disruption.
▫ Decrease trust towards institutions like government/media – by propagating false propaganda against them.
▫ Undermine democracy and impair diplomacy – false information about institutions, public policy, and
politicians powered by a Deepfakes can be exploited to spin the story and manipulate belief.
- Way Forward: To defend the truth and secure freedom of expression, we need a multi-stakeholder and multi-modal
approach. Collaborative actions and collective techniques across legislative regulations, platform policies,
technology intervention and media literacy can provide effective and ethical countermeasures to mitigate the threat
of malicious Deepfakes.
▫ Legislative Regulation: Come up with a Deepfakes accountability act which ensures that Deepfakes creators
ensure appropriate disclosures such as watermarks and descriptions; the right of the victim to sue the creator
etc.
▫ Consumer awareness and Media Literacy by Consumers and Journalists will be the key to fighting Deepfakes.
Media literacy efforts should be enhanced to cultivate a discerning public. A consumer should have the ability
to decipher, translate, understand and use the information we encounter.
▫ Technological intervention with easy to use and accessible technology solutions to detect Deepfakes,

5) NFTS
- Anything that can be converted into a digital form can be an NFT. An NFT is a token (a digital asset) that exist on
blockchain. It can include a picture, drawing, photos, in game items, tweets etc. An NFT can be traded online using
cryptocurrencies. NFT is different from other digital forms as it is backed by blockchain.
- NFTs are becoming very popular as they are becoming an increasingly popular way to showcase and sell your digital
artwork. Some early NFTs were Terra Nulius, Curio cards, Cryptopunks, Cryptocats etc., before NFTs slowly moved into
public awareness in early 2021.

- Difference between NFT and Crypto Currencies: They are altogether different things, though they are both built on
blockchain.
» Cryptocurrency is a currency and is fungible, meaning that it is interchangeable. (For instance, if you hold one crypto
token, say one bitcoin, the next bitcoin that you would hold will also be of the same value) But NFTs are non-
fungible, that means that the value of NFTs is not equal to another. Every art is different from another making it
non fungible and unique.
