No biz case for 5G roll-out if concerns on private captive networks not addressed: Telcos' body

In a letter to Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, COAI said if independent entities are allowed to set up private captive networks with direct 5G spectrum allotment by the telecom department, "the business case of TSPs (Telecom Service Providers) will get severely degraded"."This will diminish the revenue so much that there will be no viable business case left for the TSPs and there will not remain any need for 5G networks roll-out by TSPs," it said. https://ift.tt/3mhtfRN
