Telecommunications is the transmission of data and information between computers using a communications link such as a standard telephone line.
1994 was a watershed in the history of Indian telecom sector, which ranked sixth in the world after USA, china, Japan, Germany, and France in terms of number of installed fixed lines.
That year saw the introduction of new telecom policy (ntp) of government of India that envisaged a vast change in Indian telecom scenario and reflected the government’s desire to bring Indian telecom at par with the rest of the world.
This policy change was followed up by a large number of other initiatives, including introduction of ntp 1999 that indicated continuing commitment of the government to liberalize the sector.

The telegraph act of 1885 governed the telecommunications sector. Under this act, the government was in-charge of policy making and provision of services.
Major changes began in the 1980s.
Under the Seventh Plan (1985-90), 3.6 percent of total outlay was set aside for communications
And since 1991, more than more than 5.5 percent is spent on it.
The initial phase of telecom reforms began in 1984 with the creation of Center for Department of Telematics (C-DOT) for developing indigenous technologies and private manufacturing of customer premise equipment.
