In 1994, the Public authority reported the Public Telecom Strategy which characterized specific significant targets, remembering accessibility of phone for request, arrangement of top notch administrations at sensible costs, guaranteeing India's rise as significant assembling/send out base of telecom hardware and general accessibility of essential telecom administrations to all towns. It likewise declared a progression of explicit focuses to be accomplished by 1997. As against the NTP 1994 objective of arrangement of 1 PCO per 500 metropolitan populace and inclusion of every one of the 6 lac towns, Speck has accomplished a metropolitan PCO entrance of 1 PCO per 522 and has had the option to give phone inclusion to just 3.1 lac towns. As respects arrangement of absolute phone lines in the nation, Spot has given 8.73 million phone lines against the eighth arrangement focus of 7.5 million lines.

NTP 1994 likewise perceived that the expected assets for accomplishing these objectives wouldn't be accessible just out of Government sources and reasoned that private venture and inclusion of the confidential area was expected to connect the asset hole. The Public authority welcomed private area support in a staged way from the mid nineties, at first for esteem added administrations, for example, Paging Administrations and Cell phone Administrations (CMTS) and from that point for Fixed Telephone utilities (FTS). After a cutthroat offering process, licenses were granted to 8 CMTS administrators in the four metros, 14 CMTS administrators in 18 state circles, 6 BTS administrators in 6 state circles and to paging administrators in 27 urban communities and 18 state circles.

The Public authority perceives that the aftereffect of the privatization has so far not been totally palatable. While there has been a fast rollout of cell versatile organizations in the metros and states with presently north of 1 million endorsers, the greater part of the ventures today are dealing with issues. The fundamental explanation, as indicated by the cell and essential administrators, has been the way that the genuine incomes acknowledged by these activities have been far shy of the projections and the administrators can't orchestrate supporting for their undertakings and in this manner complete their ventures. Fundamental telecom administrations by confidential administrators have just barely started in a restricted manner in two of the six circles where licenses were granted. Accordingly, a portion of the objectives as imagined in the targets of the NTP 1994 have stayed unfulfilled. The confidential area section has been more slow than what was imagined in the NTP 1994.

The public authority sees the above improvements with worry as it would unfavorably influence the further improvement of the area and perceives the need to investigate the arrangement structure for this area.

As on account of most nations, separate licenses have been given in our country for essential, cell, ISP, satellite and digital television administrators each with isolated industry structure, terms of passage and differing necessity to make framework. Anyway this intermingling currently permits administrators to utilize their offices to convey a few administrations saved for different administrators, requiring a relook into the current strategy system. The new telecom strategy system is likewise expected to work with India's vision of turning into an IT superpower and foster a top notch telecom foundation in the country.
