A report on the role of broadband for inclusive growth in India, titled “Creating viable business models for inclusive growth through the National Optical Fibre Network” by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and KPMG in India was released by Mr MF Farooqui, Secretary, Telecom at the CII Interactive Session and the CII’s National Committee Meeting on Telecom & Broadband held on 5 June, 2013 at New Delhi.
The report explores how, using the national fibre infrastructure, commercially feasible business models for relevant e-services in areas such as education, healthcare, banking and agriculture can be built on the foundation of a Public-Private-Panchayat ecosystem. This report is expected to serve as a useful reference for the Government and the industry as they jointly deliberate on how best the national fibre network asset can be leveraged.
