Telecom Sector Should Concentrate On Tier III & IV Mkts

As the announcement of the Union Budget draws near, Sunil Dutt, Managing Director, Research In Motion India shared his expectations.

“The telecom sector has achieved a significant momentum in India but still, there is plenty to achieve. We are witnessing a huge surge in the smartphone space allowing consumers as well as enterprises to reap in real benefits of mobility. This is where government can play a vital role by re-considering the taxation module on mobile devices. This would help in the penetration of smartphones and make it affordable reaching out to larger section of the audience,” said Dutt.

He explained how the growth of the country also lies in the upliftment of its core. “In this regard, we can refer it to tier III & IV markets not only metros, tier I & II markets. It is high time for us to think hard and take concrete steps in this direction where certain initiatives and reforms can boost the overall state of the infrastructure e.g. Smartphone apps for farmers help in higher crop yield, education initiative and financial inclusion in rural sector,” said Dutt.
