India needs dense fiber. More than 5G. Wifi 7 already launched and soon routers will be available. I guess Galaxy S23 Ultra will have support for WiFi 7. WiFi 7 can deliver maximum of 40Gbps and far more coverage area. There won't be need of 5G and 6G. Earlier India understands this, more it is better.
