A basic problem is that the cost of spectrum and licences relative to earnings is too high, structurally

Shyam Ponappa: Those dropped calls!

And what could be done to fix them

Policy should facilitate the objectives of electricity at reasonable prices, and of environmental mitigation

Shyam Ponappa: Hard changes for better times

It's time to work together for what we need

Shyam Ponappa: Transformation, or drift?

We need transformative policies and incentives with purpose, especially in solar power and digital infrastructure
