People who have an active high-speed internet connection that satisfies the minimum speed requirements set by the regulatory body are referred to as broadband subscribers. In India, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) defines broadband as an internet connection with a download speed of 512 kbps or higher. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable modem, fibre-optic, wireless, satellite, and mobile broadband (3G, 4G, and 5G) are some of the technologies that can be used to deliver broadband services. One of the most important metrics for evaluating the penetration of digital infrastructure is the number of subscribers, which can be expressed in terms of landline and wireless users.
Data on broadband subscribers is a crucial metric for assessing a nation’s level of digital connection, internet penetration, and technology adoption. Greater access to information, e-governance, online education, telemedicine, e-commerce, and financial inclusion is reflected in a larger number of broadband subscribers. It also supports innovation, entrepreneurship, and the growth of the digital economy. Monitoring broadband subscribers enables policymakers to pinpoint investments under programs like Digital India by identifying affordability concerns, infrastructure obstacles, and urban-rural disparities. Furthermore, lowering the digital gap and accomplishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pertaining to innovation, industry, education, and inequality reduction depend heavily on broadband access.
