TSDSI, Academia & Corporations should collaborate to solve affordable access through open innovation.
TSDSI and ecosystem players should develop reference designs, Exemplar platforms for Telecom, Citizen, Rural, Defence and Public Networks.
Both Standards and open specifications should serve India specific exemplar platforms and should be used in reference test beds.
TSDSI should play an important role in policies by working with other planning and regulatory bodies.
India being the software capital of the world should leverage the movement to build software and AI based networking infrastructure and TSDSI should play an important role.
