New Delhi, Feb 8 : As 5G dreams eludes Indians despite the government s emphasis on technology and fifth generation connectivity, the Standing Committee on Information Technology has raised concerns that India may miss the 5G bus due to inadequate availability of spectrum, high spectrum prices, low fiberisation among others.
Highlighting the concerns leading to the delay, the report of the panel chaired by Congress Shashi Tharoor said that it is disappointing to note that the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has hardly learnt from the past delays as the vision for 5G, which was reflected in the setting up of the High-Level Forum and Expert Committees, has not been transformed into action on the ground and is not reflected in the policies formulated by the government.

NEW DELHI: The government expects that the roll-out of 5G services will begin in early-2022 after another round of spectrum auction that is planned to be held after six month, according to a panel report tabled in Parliament on Monday.
The Standing Committee on Information Technology pulled up the department of telecommunications (DoT) for delay in the launch of 5G services when several countries have commercially rolled out the next-generation technology.
