14 3. Accelerate Access Capabilities 1. Accelerate broadband access with a wider portfolio of options/technologies to facilitate operators deployments 2. Important and reduce barriers to entry and move to a light touch regulatory regime, instead of prescriptive

15 3. Accelerate Access Capabilities Provide wider spectrum for Wi-Fi license-exempt outdoor use throughout the continuous range of MHz license-exempt use of the MHz band, which is utilized in many countries license-exempt use of the MHz band for higher power (4W EIRP) outdoor usage extending the 5 GHz band by allocating 6GHz for license exempt use

16 3. Accelerate Access Capabilities Provide wider backhaul possibilities utilize the millimeter wave (mmwave) bands to deliver very high capacity service as a lower cost alternative to fiber V Band (57-64 GHz) should be delicensed for indoor and outdoor based access applications like Wi-Fi hotspots license-exempt use, both access and backhaul, in the GHz range with appropriate power limits. permit channel bandwidths in accordance with the IEEE ad standard at 2.16 GHz.

17 3. Accelerate Access Capabilities The Wi-Fi ecosystem is vast and have opportunities for all types and size of operators (MNOs, MSOs, Broadband/Fixed, Pure Wi-Fi, ) The market forces should be allowed to mature the ecosystem without any regulatory intervention.

18 3. Accelerate Access Capabilities Take in consideration the size of the India, market is tremendous Volume drives world standardization and industry focus for technologies & equipment adoption
