SUB: GUIDELINES FOR GRANT OF UNIFIED LICENSE.

$^1$National Digital Communications Policy, 2018 aims to create a Robust Digital Communications Infrastructure, enable Next Generation Technologies and Services through Investments, Innovation and IPR generation, and to ensure Sovereignty, Safety and Security of Digital Communications in India. It also aims to provide Broadband for All by 2022.

One of the strategies of NDCP, 2018 is to ensure a holistic and harmonized approach for harnessing Emerging Technologies, and its use in the communications sector, such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing and M2M.

National Telecom Policy-2012 recognized that the evolution from analog to digital technology has facilitated the conversion of voice, data and video to the digital form. Hence, it was imperative to move towards convergence between various services, networks, platforms, technologies and overcome the existing segregation of licensing, registration and regulatory mechanisms in these areas to enhance affordability, increase access, delivery of multiple services and reduce cost. One of the objectives of the National Telecom Policy-2012 was "Strive to create One Nation - One License" across services and service areas.
