6G Won’t Fix India’s Network | Why Spectrum Planning Matters More

India is already talking about transitioning from 5G to 6G. But the real question is - will 6G actually solve India’s telecom problems?

In this video, I break down why most of India’s network challenges are not technological, but structural - driven by poor spectrum planning, high spectrum prices, fragmentation of low-frequency bands, and inefficient utilization.

From poor indoor coverage and call drops to weak uplink speeds and expensive devices - these issues cannot be solved by simply moving to 6G.
