Sanjay
Malik, head of India market at Nokia told the paper that the idea
behind these pacts is to introduce 5G in the country and see what are
the steps required for the same. He said that this is more of a

While the penetration
of 4G in the Indian market has been tepid, there is much scepticism
towards the adoption of 5G in India.
Despite the pessimistic
outlook, mobile companies, telecom operators and the Centre are working
towards ensuring that India comes on board the 5G bandwagon in line with
the world.
From the sidelines of the World Mobile Congress,
Samsung and Reliance Jio had earlier announced that they together plan
to bring 5G network to India and Telecom Secretary JS Deepak had
said,"We were late in 3G and 4G and we are very keen that India should
not be deprived of 5G. It is not only a communication issue, it is a
productivity issue for industry. It has wider applications in smart
cities and grids and all kinds of things.
