Super intelligent Indians

India(known for Its historical past) overtakes all countries of the world  and moves ahead into future India, because of having  the most intelligent citizens. Thousands of years ago, people who migrated to India settled down upon first agricultural revolution in civilization development—we became farmers. We may have missed the second revolution(industrial revolution), but we have progressed far far ahead and moved to the third revolution, age of electronics. We have brought about the telecom revolution in India. We Indians are super intelligent and progress very very fast.

We know how to integrate latest technology in our lives an we adopt quickly.How India fares in the future depends on policies it makes today and the government is keeping up. DOT has given TRAI the role of telecom infrastructure regulator. TRAI is not totally free to determine its own rules for it is subject to examination and review by committees like Standing Committee on IT, Committee on Subordinate Legislation, and Committee on papers laid and so on.  TRAI determines on rate of the transaction fee, on direct tax code, cost of GST and so on. Subsidies in licenses and tarrifs can encourage the private sector to grow in this field.There is healthy competion amongst private telecom companies when broad band connectivity was brought here.

 We have 81 crore subscribers now. But declining revenue of telecom brings one to view what mobiles are used for. Only 5% of mobiles are used for commerce related activity. Mobile users use their handsets for sms (52%), as a camera (50%) and as a radio(50%). Private firms are exploring digital marketing, on line shopping and e-transactions. Some are exploring tele-medicine too. Service provider should make platform which user can use with ease. Benefits of 3G must be known to mobile users. Video calls should be made known to the users. These are possibilities of lines of future growth in this sector. We like visual contact as it registers deeply into our minds, so visual telephone will score well with the people.

Fundamental reasons for these growth potential are social. As jobs become scarce, young persons are willing to travel far to seek employment. And because their parents are willing to send them far as mobile is available to keep in constant contact.  Physical boundaries have been overcome; Thus social attitudes of the people has helped technological innovations to grow and flourish.

For further development there should be lower rates of tariffs. This will help in keeping up with the times—travelling far far for employment—now new thresholds have been explored. We Indians will move on to face more new exigencies.We have to make mobile technology more affordable to the common people by reducing taxes and tariffs on them, by encouraging making of cheaper handsets, by allowing for longer periods of validity, and by lowering price per second of usage. Mobile network coverage rates could be reduced . For India to progress we need effective governance, proper decision making policies and good regulatory mechanisms. And government has to make sure that there is proper mechanism to control not just how technology grows but also on how technology is taken by the people.(whether it is healthier growth) First government must realize that most urgent need of India at present is that our economy is not in a good condition,and that  we have to recover from the crisis before we can progress any further. We must find strategies for its growth using modern technology as a tool. Why is it that we are having all resources(including human resource) and we are still part of the developing world and not developed world? Western countries had grown on consumer based economy; India need not take that path. Our growth depends how we adopt to modern technology without sacrificing on our cultural  and social identity.
