How does India account for the largest telecom network in India?
Answer:
- More than two-thirds of the villages in India have already been covered with the Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD) telephone facility.
- In order to strengthen the flow of information from the grassroot to the higher level, the government has made special provision to extend twenty-four hours STD facility to every village in the country.
- There is a uniform rate of STD facilities all over India.
It has been made possible by integrating the development in space technology with communication
technology.
