Assam is poised for a prosperous future in the telecom sector as the state embraces digital revolution, with rapid advancements in technology, and an increased demand for telecom services. The state government has implemented a number of initiatives to promote the growth of the industry, including the Assam Broadband Policy 2019 and the Assam Digital Infrastructure Scheme. These initiatives aim to provide high-speed broadband access to all, create digital infrastructure such as mobile towers and optical fibers, and offer tax incentives for telecom service providers, including a 100% waiver on the annual license fee. These measures will ensure that the state is able to meet its needs for broadband and mobile data services, as well as other advanced technologies like 5G and the Internet of Things.
