Connectivity is a constitutional duty, not commodity: Scindia to telcos
Telecom service providers must rethink providing connectivity not as a commodity but as a constitutional commitment keeping in mind key factors like affordability, availability, accessibility with blazing data speeds, Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Tuesday. While speaking at an event organised by internet service providers body ISPAI and government-backed Nixi, the minister said five days ago India has moved from being the 5th largest economy in the world to become the 4th largest, and he takes pride in representing telecom which is growing at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14 to 16 per cent as well as with the CAGR of 12-13 per cent in northeast. "You are the engineers of equity. You are the builders of bridges. And you are the keepers of the digital flame of India. Reimagine connectivity not necessarily as a commodity but a constitutional commitment," the minister said. He asked telecom operators and internet service providers (ISP) to follow six foundational pillars for connectivity, which are affordability, availability, accessibility, quality, safety and focus on emerging technologies such as AI and IoT. The minister said that in India, where 1 GB of data used to cost Rs 287, at present costs only about Rs 9. "At 11 cents, India is the cheapest data provider in the world today. The average global cost is USD 2.59," Scindia said. He said that if data is liquid gold or black oil, then India is the home of that liquid gold and black oil. "There is no reason why India should not be the data capital of the world. The prime minister has very clearly said that if this is India's century, and it truly is India's century, India has grown in one decade from the 11th largest economy in the world to the 5th largest economy in the world," the minister said. He asked internet service providers to leverage rural broadband project Bharatnet to expand connectivity across the country. The minister said that the National Broadband Mission with Rs 1,39,000 crore worth of investment is the largest governmental investment in the world that will provide a network to each and every village across the length and breadth of the country. "The prime minister has resolved that through NBM 2.0, we must connect every single village, but not only every single village, we must connect every single school. And we must connect every single hospital. Because it is our fiduciary responsibility," Scindia said. He said NBM 2.0 will ensure 95 per cent uptime of the broadband network and a minimum of 100 Mbps speed across the whole network.

Nixi XS Reveals Which Wrestlers Have That ‘Main Girl' Energy
Nixi XS has that main girl energy. In the ring, Nixi XS is known as 'The Versace of Violence.' Additionally, fans know her as the 'Main Girl,' with a flair for fashion and a beaming confidence. According to Nixi, 'Main Girl' isn't just a title for her, but rather, a lifestyle. Advertisement 'Being the main girl means when you walk in the room, everybody's eyes go to you,' she told WrestleZone's Ella Jay. 'When you're going shopping, people ask if they can carry your bags for you. Being the main girl means wherever you are, no matter what you're doing, the energy that radiates off of you attracts everyone towards you. Some people call it 'main character energy,' but 'character' implies it's an act you're putting on. Being the main girl, you can't wipe that off. That's just part of you.' When asked which modern wrestlers exhibit that same 'main girl energy,' Nixi pointed toward a pair of former world champions and one current AEW champion. 'I don't want to give my title to someone that I might come across in the future, but I would say Bianca Belair. She's got some main girl energy,' Nixi said. 'She's the first person that comes into my mind. Mercedes [Mone] has some main girl energy. I need a deep cut to pull, but I don't know if I'm actually going to be able to think of one. This isn't a deep cut, but I'd say Mariah May. She's coming into main girl status.' Bianca Belair, a former WWE Women's Champion, is currently sidelined with a finger injury. Meanwhile, Mariah May has remained off of AEW television since losing her AEW Women's Championship at AEW Revolution. She is now reportedly in the midst of contract negotiations as well. Mercedes Moné currently reigns as both the AEW TBS and RevPro Undisputed British Women's Champion.
