Broadband ready buildings

In order to achieve higher growth of broadband, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has suggested "DoT should encourage through state governments that all Municipal committees include a clause for making Multiple Dwelling Units/ buildings broadband ready by internal wiring while giving clearance for the construction of all such buildings in future. This will help to create infrastructure to provide broadband in future and will be very convenient to users."

As of March 2007, the Internet subscribers are 40.57 million and broadband subscribers are just 2.34 million. The broadband subscribers are lower than the target of 9 million for 2007.
