The data compiled in this report are for the year 2004. The data are compiled from reports submitted to the FCC by U.S. carriers pursuant to Section 43.61 of the Commission's rules.1 Section 43.61(a) directs carriers to file reports by July 31 that summarize international telecommunications service provided during the preceding calendar year. Carriers submit their final data for the preceding calendar year by October 31. The specific filing requirements are set forth in the Manual for Filing Section 43.61 Data (June 1995). Statistical Findings • U.S. billed minutes increased 32.5% from 48.0 billion in 2003 to 63.6 billion in 2004. • In 2004, seventy-two U.S. facilities-based and facilities-resale (see definitions on page 3) carriers reported that they billed $8.7 billion for international telephone service, $458 million for private line services, and $136 million for other miscellaneous international services, compared to $8.9 billion, $620 million, and $156 million, respectively, in 2003. • U.S. carrier’s net settlement payments – the amount paid to foreign carriers to compensate those carriers for completing calls – increased from $3.1 billion in 2003 to $3.6 billion in 2004. • Retained revenues – revenues billed by U.S. carriers, less settlement amounts owed to foreign carriers for U.S. billed traffic, plus settlement amounts due to U.S. carriers for foreign-billed traffic – decreased 13.6% from $6.6 billion in 2003 to $5.7 billion in 2004. • Pure resale providers resell the services of underlying U.S. facilities-based and facilities-resale carriers. The number of reporting carriers grew from 776 in 2003 to 794 in 2004. Pure resale minutes grew from 36.1 billion in 2003 to 38.5 billion in 2004. Billed revenues decreased from $5.8 billion in 2003 to $5.2 billion in 2004. Table 1 summarizes the traffic and revenue data reported by all U.S. facilities-based and facilities-resale carriers for 2004, but does not include pure resale service. These categories are explained below. 1 47 C.F.R. § 43.61. The Commission, in April 2004, proposed modifications to the Sections 43.61 and 43.82 international data collection rules. See Reporting Requirements for U.S. Providers of International Telecommunications Services; Amendment of Part 43 of the Commission’s Rules, IB Docket 04-112, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 19 FCC Rcd 6460 (2004) (“International Reporting Requirements Reform NPRM”). 1 Table 1. International Telecommunications Revenues, 2004 Traffic* Revenues Billed Net Settlements Net by U.S. Carriers with Foreign Retained (millions) Carriers Revenues** (millions) (millions) Message Telephone (millions 82,061 $8,663 ($3,642) $5,022 of minutes) Private Line (number of 19,383 458 None 458 circuits) International Other Miscellaneous*** Not meaningful 136 (5) 131 Total**** Not meaningful $9,351 ($3,647) $5,704 * Traffic measures for international message telephone and other miscellaneous service include both U.S. billed traffic and foreign billed traffic that terminates in the United States, but excludes most traffic that transits the United States. ** Net U.S. carrier retained revenues equal billed revenues plus settlement amounts receivable from foreign carriers less amounts due to foreign carriers. See Table 3, below. Detail may not match totals because of necessary rounding. *** Currently, carriers report frame relay/ATM, packet switching, virtual private line, occasional television, and VOIP services as other miscellaneous international services. That information can be found in Section C (International Miscellaneous Services, Page 1) of this report. **** Total above includes $407 million billed revenues, $221 million net settlements, and $187 million net revenues for eighteen facilities-based and facilities-resale carriers requesting confidential treatment in the above categories. 2 Definitions International services are provided either on a facilities-based, facilities-resale, or pure resale basis. For categorizing traffic, facilities-based traffic refers to services provided using international transmission facilities owned in whole or in part by the carrier providing the service. Facilities- based carriers use one or more international channels of communication to provide international telecommunications service. An international channel is a wire or radio link that facilitates electronic communications between a U.S. point and a point outside the domestic United States (see Table 4, below). A facilities-based carrier is “a carrier that holds an ownership, indefeasible-right- of-user, or leasehold interest in bare capacity in the U.S. end of an international facility, regardless of whether the underlying facility is a common carrier or non-common carrier submarine cable or a satellite system.” See 47 C.F.R. § 63.09(a).

  • Reliance Industries and Reliance Communications Sign Telecom Tower Pact
    Reliance Industries and Reliance Communications Sign Telecom Tower Pact The Ambani brothers have signed a mega deal to share mobile telecom towers. The agreement would permit Reliance Jio Infocomm, a subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani's, Reliance Industries Limited to rent 45000 telecom towers of Anil's Reliance Communications for a period of 15 years. Reliance Jio Infocomm will pay Rs. 12000 crores to Reliance Communication for this lease, which translates to around Rs. 14000-15000 per tower per month. The deal is a win-win for both the companies as it provides a regular income stream for Reliance Comunications and a quicker and economical network capability to Reliance Jio Infocomm when it rolls out its 4G services. Reliance Jio Infocomm could commence occupying some of the towers in the next six months. As per the market sources, Reliance Jio Infocomm did a hard bargain as the prevailing market rental value for a telecom tower ranges around Rs. 25000 - 30000 per month. Reliance Communication will use a large part of the proceeds to retire debt. It has an outstanding debt of around Rs 39,000 crores. This is the second telecom business deal between the two Ambani brothers. Earlier, in April this year these two companies had signed a Rs. 1200 crore pact to share the optic fibre network for carrying call traffic across the country. According to Gurdeep Singh - chief executive (mobility), Reliance Communications, it is possible that these two firms will sign more deals that are mutually beneficial. Synergies in telecom operations appear to have brought the two family factions together.

Sector convergence and advances in technology and digitalization are altering the telecommunications landscape globally. Some of the major factors that are driving the M&A in the telecom sector include - sector convergence, impact of digital technology on their business model and acquiring talent among others. The sector, which has been witnessing rough weather in terms of profitability due to rising competition and lower margins, has witnessed large scale lay-offs making job scenario uncertain. In the telecom industry, manpower accounts for 4-5% of the costs, but in the last few years there was no reining in of salaries. Now that expenses need to be harnessed, employees will be the first casualty. This instability in the market has affected startups as well as multinational companies which have induced anxiety in majority of employees. This study will be on the disruptions in telecom industries in India and decisions regarding their closures and merger. The study will be according to published data of this sector and the impact on their employee’s job loss. Keywords: Telecom industry, disruption, employee jobs, mergers and acquisitions I.
