CHAPTER- 2
Telecom Industry in India 
INDUSTRY PROFILE:-
Background:- The Indian Telecommunications network with 203 million connections is the third largest in the world and the second largest among the emerging economies of Asia. Today, it is the fastest growing market in the world. The telecommunication sector continued to register significant success during the year and has emerged as one of the key sectors responsible for India’s resurgent India’s economic growth. 
Telecom sector accounts for 1 percent of India’s GDP. Likely to double in 2-
3 years.
Telecom services contribute 30 percent to India’s total service tax revenue
The Indian telecom sector gives direct employment to more than 4,00,000
people, compared to about 6,00,000 people in China.
Not just the enabler of software, BPO and ITeS companies, it is also the
lifeline of a fast growing E-commerce space.
State-of-the-art telecom infrastructure has led to the rise of cities like Mysore,
Mangalore, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Kochi on the software services map.
This has helped spread the benefits of a booming Indian economy to beyond
metros and large cities, and wealth creation is happening in tier-2 cities.
Growth:- The sector, which was growing in the range of 20 to 25 per cent up to the year 2002-03, has moved to a higher growth path of an average rate of 40-45 per cent during the last two years. This rapid growth has been possible due to various proactive and positive decisions of the Government and contribution of both by the public and the private sector. The rapid strides in the telecom sector have been facilitated by liberal policies of the Government that provide easy market access for telecom equipment and a fair regulatory framework for offering telecom services to the Indian consumers at affordable prices. Teldensity:- The telecom sector has shown robust growth during the past few years. From a teledensity of mere 0.5 per cent in the year 1989, it has grown to double digit in the year 2005. Buoyed by the better-than-expected teledensity in 2005 (11.4 per cent against 8.6 per cent in 2004) due to the mobile boom in India, Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has revised the upwards the target of 22 per cent teledensity by 2007. Internet Services:- Internet services were launched in India on August 15, 1995. In November 1998 the government opened up the sector to private operators. A liberal licensing regime was put in place to increase Internet penetration across the country. Though a large number of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) has been licensed (389) to operate Internet service today, just the top 20 ISPs service 98 per cent of subscribers. Similarly, while internet telephony is permitted to 128 ISPs, only 32 actually provide the service. The slow growth of internet and broadband will make the target of 18 million internet subscribers and 9 million broadband connections by 2007 tough to achieve. The growth of IP telephony or grey market is also a serious concern. Government loses revenue, while unlicensed operation by certain operators violates the law and depletes licensed operators market share. New services like IP-TV and IP-Telephony are becoming popular with the demand likely to increase in coming years. The scope of services under existing ISP license conditions are unclear. Internet subscribers stood at 8.6 million for the quarter ending 31st December 2006, registering an increase of 6.00 per cent. The growth trend during the quarter is positive as compared with last quarter where it was 5.02 per cent. The total Internet subscribers increased from 6.7 million at the end of December 2005 to 8.6 million at the end of December 2006 registering a growth of 28.03 per cent. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has retained its top position and reported a subscriber base of 38.12 Lakhs Internet subscribers against 3.55 million during the last quarter. Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) has retained second position with a subscriber’s base of 1.66 million. Sify Limited is third with a base of 8,06,000 subscriber.
