Telecom industry body Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has renewed its demand for revenue share between telcos and large traffic generator apps and also expressed a need of additional fund for telecom operators to upgrade infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for bandwidth.

COAI also said that substantial investments are required to be made by telcos for GPU (graphic processing unit)-based high-speed servers to support demand of AI-based applications as well as high definition video streaming by several apps that are also referred as larger traffic generators (LTGs).

It also suggested that LTGs need to share their revenue with telcos for building networks which could help in giving better experience to their users. Telecom industry body further said it is imperative that the Indian government takes critical note of the issue facing the telecom sector at this juncture and help create an apt precedent for the world.
