5Gi are the Indian 5G standards. The 3GPP’s global standards govern 4G LTE networks operations worldwide. The International Telecom Union has suggested 5G standards. Telecoms in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Germany, China, Russia and West Asia are among those countries which are rolling out 5G services based on 3GPP standard. If the standards are common, manufacturing is facilitated. It is therefore, important that Indian 5G standards should not be made mandatory. It should be considered optional and non-mandatory for the industry. If 5Gi standards are made compulsory, they would increase the price of smart phones.
