Telecom panel to meet May 1

The Telecom Commission is scheduled to meet on May 1 and likely to discuss in-flight connectivity, net-neutrality and method for allocating spectrum bands, E and V, which are capable of transmitting data at 1000 megabit per second.

“It is on May 1,” Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan told reporters.

She did not share details of the issues which will be discussed at the meeting.

An official at the Department of Telecom (DoT) indicated however that a panel’s report on in-flight connectivity, net neutrality and allocation of spectrum in E and V bands is in an advanced stage of completion and may be taken up by the panel for discussion.
