  • India and China
    India and China: A Comparative Analysis of Mobile Phones in Agriculture By C2014 Prashanthi Bonthu Submitted to the graduate degree program in Global and International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Professor Eric Hanley ________________________________ Committee Member Professor Darlene Budd ________________________________ Committee Member Professor John James Kennedy Date Defended: Feb 3rd , 2014 The Thesis Committee for Prashanthi Bonthu certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: India and China: A Comparative Analysis of Mobile Phones in Agriculture ________________________________ Chairperson Professor Eric Hanley Date approved: Feb 3, 2014 ii Abstract In 2010, China and India were named the first and second largest mobile phone markets in the world based on their number of subscribers. India and China have focused on extending their telecommunication services into rural areas for socio-economic benefits. Both countries liberalized and privatized the industry under different political regimes utilizing different strategies. The aim of this thesis is to examine the collaborative efforts of public and private agencies in India and the role they do in disseminating information to farmers through mobile phones when compared to the government agencies in China that have been created to share that information in order to determine which program is more effective. To answer this question, the thesis compares Indian and Chinese policies and programs enacted to encourage sales and use of mobile phones in the agricultural sector to increase efficiency and encourage growth. As free market principles and private for-profit corporations are generally more efficient than government agencies, this thesis hypothesizes that the policies and development initiatives taken by the Indian government are more successful in disseminating information than the government agency approach followed by China.

    Telecom, China Telecom, Comcast, Deutsche Telecom, France Telecom, Telefonica, Telmex, TimeWarner, Verizon and many others. JDSU test and measurement customers also include many of the network equipment manufacturers served by our communications and commercial optical products group, including Alcatel-Lucent, Ciena, Cisco, Huawei, Fujitsu, Nortel, and Motorola. Trends As content providers in the communications industry are developing new business models to expand their distribution capabilities, they are increasingly adopting on-line channels for rich broadband content such as music, gaming, video programming, and movies. Telecommunications service providers are, in turn, planning to increase their revenues and profitability by expanding the capabilities of their IP packet-based networks to increase their network capacity and to deliver sophisticated levels of quality of service required to meet the service requirements of the content providers and the consumers. Telecommunications, cable television, satellite, and wireless service providers are competing with each other to offer content providers and consumers the ability to carry virtually any type of content via bundled services. With more applications and content available, potential benefits for service providers include increased average revenue per user (“ARPU”) and less customer turnover due to better service quality, thus increasing profitability and long-term competitive advantage. As a result, many providers are developing consolidated network architectures intended to enable a triple-play (integrated voice, data and video services) offering from a single provider rather than three separate services from three separate providers over three separate networks. Additionally, the proliferation of new and higher bandwidth services, including video-based content such as news, movies, and gaming, is generating strong growth in demand for network capacity and bandwidth rates, which in turn drives demand for many types of networking, access and transport systems.
