"Telecom Industry in India" The telecommunication industry in India was one of the most swiftly growing sectors in the world with stupendous growth over the last decade. It was regarded as the third largest in the world and the second largest among the emerging economies of Asia. Besides the public sector, the private segment had made significant contribution that had turned the industry into one of the key contributors to the Indian success story. It had an impressive growth trajectory, adding nearly 9 million subscribers per month, bringing the mobile subscriber base to over 903 million by January, 2012. BCG, in January, 2011, indicated that the Indian telecom market would surpass the US $100 billion mark by 2015. This report contradicted the prevalent common belief that growth in the telecom sector had reached a saturation point. In 1994, when mobile phones were introduced in India, the country was divided into 23 circles and licences were issued as per these circles. The circles were classified into four categories — Metros, A, B and C - on the basis of revenue potential; Metro and A circles were expected to have the highest potential. The telecom market in India was highly competitive compared to other countries, and there were over 11 operators in each circle, which was unheard of anywhere else in the world. Different players included Airtel, Reliance, Vodafone (earlier Hutch), Idea, Tata, state-owned BSNL and many more.

  • 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.

Democratic and demographic dividends play a crucial role in its aspiration. As a key IT player with regard to the services and allied sectors its transformation from telecom as a luxury to appreciable levels of teledensity is a narrative in itself. Its tryst with harnessing communication for development integrates the modernization approaches with all the consequent set of problems and issues. The liberal framework in which telecom reforms were initiated have spread the vision of modern handheld communication devices as harbingers of empowerment, entitlement and entertainment. Connectivity and access in the last mile is no doubt a significant variable and required a major policy articulation and push by the government. It was against this reality shared by many other nations that incremental articulations for broadband access in keeping with the vision of creating an information society were made. Through a historical institutional analysis, this study unravels the pattern leading
