New Delhi: Asserting that there is a need for the telecom service operators to ramp up networks to improve service quality, Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Tuesday said he does not wish to be known as "call drop minister".

"I regret to say very frankly it took a lot of nudging on my part to all of you to publicly acknowledge that there is need for improvement... spectrum is less but you need to improve network. I am sorry, I don't want to be known as call drop minister, sorry, I am very clear," he said at the second edition of Ericsson's 'Broadband for All' Summit, organized in partnership with the Swedish Embassy and Cellular Operators' Association of India.
