Agenda
Role of Broadband in Empowerment
Broadband can empower lives both in urban /rural areas In India, greater impact in rural areas where ~70% people
Key sectors: Health, Education, Governance and Democratization
Broadband touches Bottom of Pyramid: through convergence,
policy, regulation & action

The growth of Internet & Broadband depends on 3Cs
Critical Factors in Broadband Growth
Future Demand Projection
Plans and projections
Rural tele-density– 70% by 2017 and 100% by 2020 Broadband-on-demand Broadband Connections– from present 70m to 175m by 2017 & 600m by 2020
Major schemes/projects
National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) – 500,000 km of OFC; 250,000 rural PoPs with
a minimum data rate of 100 mbps
NFS Project with 40,000 km of OFC; 414 main nodes Other projects for Rural Broadband, North-East Region, Islands, Border areas, etc.
Providing Broadband for All
Vision : BB on Demand Increase rural tele-density:35 to 60 by 2017 and 100 by 2020 Affordable and reliable broadband on demand BB connections target:
175 million ‐ 2017 600 million ‐ 2020 at minimum 2 Mbps DL speed Higher speeds of at least 100 Mbps on demand
Recognize telecom and BB connectivity as a basic necessity like
education and health & work towards ‘Right to Broadband’.
Synergize BB rollout with ongoing and future Govt. programs:
E-gov, E‐panchayat, NREGA, NKN,AADHAR, etc. Great thrust on BB under the new Digital India Programme
Estimation of Gaps
Existing fibre from Block to be leveraged by leasing existing operators
(BSNL/RAILTEL/PGCIL)
On average, 2 km incremental OFC per Gram Panchayat required
from nearest existing OFC to GP
Incremental cable needed to be laid 5,00,000 Km Associated electronics to be mounted on the cable from Block to GPs Estimated cost INR 20,000 Crore (~US $3.5 billion)
National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN)
To connect 2,50,000 Gram Panchayats(GPs) through OFC Aims at bridging connectivity gap between GPs and Blocks To be implemented by Bharat Broadband Network Ltd (BBNL). Envisaged as a Centre‐State joint effort
Obligation Fund (USOF): Rs. 20,000 Cr.(~US $3.5B)
States expected to contribute by not levying any RoW charges Tri‐partite MoU to be signed by GOI, State Govt. & BBNL

What is Digital India?
Digital India is a Programme to prepare India for a knowledge future The focus is on being transformative – to realize IT + IT = IT The focus is on making technology central to enabling change It is an Umbrella Programme – covering many departments
It weaves together a large number of ideas and thoughts into a single, comprehensive vision so that each of them is seen as part of a larger goal It is coordinated by DeitY, implemented by the entire government The weaving together makes the Mission transformative in totality
The Programme:
Pulls together many existing schemes These schemes will be restructured and re-focused They will be implemented in a synchronized manner Many elements are only process improvements with minimal cost
The common branding of programmes as Digital India highlights their transformative impact
A programme to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy
