This paper discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the ICT industry and ‘Data Consumption’ concerning ‘Average Revenue per User (ARPU)’ and other indicators; it studies the impact of lockdown on Content Delivery Networks and their adaptation to higher usage; it predicts the impact of COVID-19 on the future of the ICT industry in India.
