Telecommunication and Its Role in the Global Economy

Assertion (A): Telecommunication is central to the process of globalisation.

Reason (R): It is a minimum condition of participation in the emerging new economy of the world.

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true.

(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.

(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Correct Ans: (D)

Explanation:


Telecommunication plays a crucial role in modern economies. It connects people, markets, and governments across borders. However, saying that it is central to the process of globalization stretches its influence a bit too far. That makes the assertion false.

Globalization involves many factorsโ€”trade liberalization, capital flows, migration, and cultural exchange. Telecommunication supports these processes, but it doesnโ€™t drive them alone. Other forces, such as political agreements, economic policies, and multinational corporations, also shape globalization.

On the other hand, the reason is true. Telecommunication serves as a minimum condition for participating in the new global economy. Todayโ€™s digital world depends on real-time data exchange, remote operations, and cross-border communication. Businesses without basic telecom infrastructure often struggle to compete. For example, access to broadband can determine whether a small business joins the global supply chain.

The emerging new economyโ€”built on information, services, and digital platformsโ€”demands constant connectivity. Telecommunication tools like the internet, mobile networks, and satellite links enable access to this economy. Countries and regions lacking these tools remain marginalized or underdeveloped economically.

Therefore, the reason stands on solid ground, but it doesn’t validate the assertion. While telecom facilitates globalization, it is not its primary engine. Instead, it acts as a necessary gateway for individuals and organizations to engage in global systems.

In conclusion, the correct choice is (D): the assertion is false, but the reason is true.
