Remarks Of Chairman Pai At The 10th Anniversary Celebration Of The Tower Providers And Infrastructure Association

Thank you to Chairman Gupta, Director General Dua, and everybody at the Tower and Infrastructure Providers Association (TAIPA) for inviting me to be with you tonight. For all the progress that’s been made, you understand that there is still so much more to achieve for the communication infrastructure sector in India. Why else would you be rolling out a new white paper at your 10th anniversary celebration? You’ve already got your eye on 5G and other new technologies being introduced right now and in the near future. 

Obviously, connecting the unconnected is a huge challenge for India with its vast population in remote areas. But I also see this as a huge opportunity for TAIPA and its members. We should all agree that everyone, no matter where he or she lives, should have access to the opportunities of the digital age, whether in a big city like Jaipur or a rural village in Jharkhand. You can help make that a reality for often-overlooked rural communities on the wrong side of the digital divide. Thank you to TAIPA for all that you have done to build this digital future. Happy 10th anniversary!
