#ITeS #covid #4g

Since last year, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way India and the world lived, shopped, conducted business, socialised, and even litigated. Indians are getting accustomed to virtual court hearings, online shopping, education, doctors’ consultations, and telemedicine galore. Everything in the world is moving towards ITeS, which increasingly requires faster data speed. In the last ten years, through 4G, the mobile app industry has advanced rapidly around services like video streaming, ridesharing, food delivery etc. Next, 5G will expand the mobile ecosystem to new sectors. As per a survey, during the H2 of 2020, the average Indian data consumption per month, the highest globally, is about 12 GB. It is likely to rise further to about 25 GB per month in the next five years, driven by affordable mobile broadband services, changing video viewing habits majorly due to Covid-19 Pandemic.

In the realm of the country’s technological innovations, 5G will further strengthen Digital India, Smart Cities and Smart Village missions for India. Smart cities could use 5G for automotive safety, infrastructure, VR, and entertainment. In domestic use, 5G would change home internet service by providing a wireless modem alternative to existing wires. The survey finds that the total number of mobile broadband subscriptions is set to exceed 1 billion by 2025. The number of smartphone subscriptions increased to 620 million in 2019 which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9%, reaching 1 billion by 2025. 5G networks offer to deliver significant social and economic benefits in India. Over the period 2023–2040, the experts forecast that 5G technologies will make a total contribution of approximately 450 billion dollars to the Indian economy -- 0.6% of GDP—by 2040.
