The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, (TRAI) on September 14, 2023, released a Consultation Paper on "Digital Inclusion in the Era of Emerging Technologies".
The consultation paper aims to explore and address the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapid advancement of emerging technologies, with a focus on ensuring inclusivity for all segments of society and industries particularly Micro Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
TRAI has also identified various challenges being faced by the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME)sector in the country from the adoption of new and emerging digital technology solutions. As the MSME sector contributes significantly towards the nation's economy, it is imperative that the MSMEs are empowered to contribute more towards the digital economy through new emerging technology solutions, especially the micro-enterprises as the majority of the MSMEs are micro-enterprises.
The Consultation Paper, for seeking inputs from the stakeholders, has been placed on TRAI's website. Written comments on the issues for consultation are invited from the stakeholders by 16 October 16, 2023, and counter comments by October 31, 2023.
