Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
India has evolved to be one of the largest telecom networks in Asia. The Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD) facility enables dialling trunk calls without operator assistance. The long-distance calling method was introduced in 1958. The first-ever STD service in India was between the cities of Kanpur and Lucknow in 1960. Since then, efforts have been made to maintain the STD rates constant throughout India. It helps maintain uniformity and avoid confusion. The integration of space and communication technology realised the possibility of keeping the rates uniform. The introduction of satellites in Earth's orbit to make communication faster and more efficient has a role in this.
