The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has formed another inter-ministerial panel on 5G. The panel comprises officials from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), ministries of home, external affairs, Department of IT, Department of Science and Technology, Intelligence Bureau (IB) and National Security Council.
The panel has been formed at a time when the government is deliberating on participation of Chinese firm Huawei in 5G trials and later in rolling out telecom networks.
