The Union Government will set up 2,000 telecom towers in tribal areas at a cost of Rs 3,000 crore.

With 93 crore mobile connections in use, we feel that the next e-governance revolution would happen around mobile telephones, Killi Kruparani, Union Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology, said here on Friday.

She was addressing a meeting on trends and demands in the IT industry at the Federation of AP Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
