The State government has formulated the Tamil Nadu Telecom Infrastructure Policy, 2022, aiming at developing a robust and secure state-of-the-art telecommunication network that would provide seamless coverage by easing the process of application, approval and installation of telecom infrastructure.
A G.O. issued by the Information Technology Department recently said the policy was in consonance with Indian Telegraph Right of Way Rules 2016 and is applicable to all existing and future telecom infrastructure, which would streamline the process of applications and granting of permission for installation of mobile towers, laying of optical fibre cable and other telecom infrastructure.
The policy aims at increasing mobile telecom penetration in rural areas, providing reliable, affordable, high-quality telecommunication and internet services and providing high speed and high-quality broadband access to the rural areas and adopting green and citizen-friendly telecom sites.
