Nepal’s Communication Minister, Prithvi Subba Gurung, has asked Nepal Telecom and the Nepal Telecom Authority to work hard to bring 4G internet to every home in Nepal. He also said they should start expanding 5G services across the country as soon as possible. This is important because fast internet and phone services help people stay connected and make life easier.
Minister Gurung explained that slow internet or bad phone signals could cause big problems for Nepal’s digital goals. These goals are about using technology to make the government work better and help people in their daily lives. For example, digital governance means using computers and the internet to make government services faster and easier to use, like paying bills online or getting information quickly.
Right now, many people in Nepal use 4G to watch videos, talk to friends, or do schoolwork online. But not every home has 4G, and 5G, which is even faster, is only available in a few places. The minister wants Nepal Telecom to make sure everyone gets 4G soon and to start bringing 5G to more cities and villages. 5G can make the internet super fast, so people can do things like video calls or download big files in seconds.
If Nepal Telecom doesn’t act quickly, the minister warned that it could slow down the country’s progress. Bad internet or phone services make it hard for people to work, study, or connect with others. It also affects digital governance, which needs strong internet to work well. For example, schools and hospitals need fast internet to share information or help people online.
The Nepal Telecom Authority is also being asked to help make these changes happen fast. They need to work with Nepal Telecom to fix any problems and bring better services to everyone. Minister Gurung believes that with teamwork, Nepal can have better internet and phone services soon, helping the country grow stronger and smarter with technology.
