Introduction

About Landline

A landline is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium either metal wire or

optical fibre This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line where the medium used is the

airwaves Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality

and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable

A land line is also used to increase the security of communications as it cannot be

intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line

The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two or more points that

consists of a dedicated physical cable as opposed to an always-available private link that

is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system

The implication of a landline in this context is one of security and especially of

survivability

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

Introduction

About Landline

A landline is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium either metal wire or

optical fibre This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line where the medium used is the

airwaves Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality

and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable

A land line is also used to increase the security of communications as it cannot be

intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line

The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two or more points that

consists of a dedicated physical cable as opposed to an always-available private link that

is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system

The implication of a landline in this context is one of security and especially of

survivability

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

Introduction

About Landline

A landline is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium either metal wire or

optical fibre This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line where the medium used is the

airwaves Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality

and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable

A land line is also used to increase the security of communications as it cannot be

intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line

The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two or more points that

consists of a dedicated physical cable as opposed to an always-available private link that

is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system

The implication of a landline in this context is one of security and especially of

survivability

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

Introduction

About Landline

A landline is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium either metal wire or

optical fibre This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line where the medium used is the

airwaves Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality

and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable

A land line is also used to increase the security of communications as it cannot be

intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line

The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two or more points that

consists of a dedicated physical cable as opposed to an always-available private link that

is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system

The implication of a landline in this context is one of security and especially of

survivability

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

recorded observations into descriptive statements and inferences about relationships The

types of analysis that can be conducted depend on the nature of the measurement

instrument and the data collected method If the researcher selects the analytical

techniques prior to collecting data the researcher should generate fictional responses to

the measurement instrument

Introduction

About Landline

A landline is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium either metal wire or

optical fibre This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line where the medium used is the

airwaves Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality

and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable

A land line is also used to increase the security of communications as it cannot be

intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line

The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two or more points that

consists of a dedicated physical cable as opposed to an always-available private link that

is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system

The implication of a landline in this context is one of security and especially of

survivability

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

Introduction

About Landline

A landline is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium either metal wire or

optical fibre This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line where the medium used is the

airwaves Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality

and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable

A land line is also used to increase the security of communications as it cannot be

intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line

The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two or more points that

consists of a dedicated physical cable as opposed to an always-available private link that

is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system

The implication of a landline in this context is one of security and especially of

survivability

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

Introduction

About Landline

A landline is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium either metal wire or

optical fibre This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line where the medium used is the

airwaves Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality

and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable

A land line is also used to increase the security of communications as it cannot be

intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line

The term landline is also used to describe a connection between two or more points that

consists of a dedicated physical cable as opposed to an always-available private link that

is actually implemented as a circuit in a wider switched system

The implication of a landline in this context is one of security and especially of

survivability

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

About Telecom sector in India

The Indian Telecom Sector

India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China Japan and South Korea

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest

among emerging economies At current levels telecom intensiveness of Indian economy

measured as the ratio of telecom revenues to GDP is 21 percent as compared with over

28 percent in developed economies

Indian telecom sector has undergone a major process of transformation through

significant policy reforms The reforms began in 1980s with telecom equipment

manufacturing being opened for private sector and were later followed by National

Telecom Policy

Historically the telecom network in India was owned and managed by the Government

considering it to be a natural monopoly and strategic service best under states control

However in 1990s examples of telecom revolution in many other countries which

resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs led Indian policy makers to initiate a

change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private

sector

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of

communication In modern times this process almost always involves the sending of

electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the

use of smoke signals

Today telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process such as the

television radio and telephone are common in many parts of the world There is also a vast

array of networks that connect these devices including computer networks public telephone networks

radio networks and television networks Computer communication across the Internet such as e-mail

and instant messaging is just one of many examples of telecommunication

It estimates place the telecommunication industrys revenue at $12 trillion or just under

3 of the gross world product[8] Good telecommunication infrastructure is widely

acknowledged as important for economic success in the modern world on micro- and

macroeconomic scale

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

sector]

Telecom Sector in India Vision 2020

The vision of Indian telecom sector for the year 2020 ie about two decades from now

Development being a continuous process the choice of the year 2020 is just an arbitrary

division of time a predefined time horizon to take stock of what is likely to be achieved

Pre-portrayal of a stage of development in future requires understanding of the process of

change the dynamics that set law of motion In attempting to do so the present paper

deciphers the recent past

Process of change is often volatile and responsive to intervention and global

Circumstances impacting it In such an inherently dynamic situation it is

Convenient to assume that cross-country experiences incubate the most recent

seeds of change This is because countries at various stages of development

Encapsulate developmental experiences that occur with the passage of time

The present paper isolates the agents of change based on international

experiences and situates India in this development continuum The agents of

change as observed from international perspective have been broadly

categorized into economic structure competition policy and technology

Economic reforms and liberalization have driven telecom sector through several

transmission channels of which these three categories are of major significance

The paper as it unfolds is divided into six sections Section 1 gives a brief

account of the era of competition that was heralded in Indian telecom sector and

the results achieved Analysis of the results particularly comparison with other

major countries intrigued further discussions on economic structure synergy

between telecom and IT competition policy and technology in sections 2 34 and

5 respectively Logical extension of the arguments as they developed extended

to a vision for 2020 in each of these sections

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

sector]

VISION

Vision 2020 is a vision of information society and knowledge economy built on the

edifice of ICT In India the aggressive expansion of public sector telecommunications

infrastructure in hitherto uncharted territories of geographically remote locations would

unleash latent economic energies and market forces which will erode the very foundation

of perceived lack of profitability of rural investment among the private investors Once

this is achieved Vision 2020 will be a vision of wealthier and more equal society full of

creativity innovation and competition

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

Reforms and Performance

India like many other countries of the world have adopted a gradual approach to

telecom sector reform through selective privatization and managed competition in

different segments of the telecom market To begin with India introduced private

competition in value-added services in 1992 followed by opening up of cellular

and basic services for local area to private competition The Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI) was constituted in 1997 as an independent regulator in

this sector Competition was also introduced in national long distance (NLD) and

international long distance (ILD) telephony at the start of the current decade

The current policy stance affecting telecom sector in India is presented in the

Appendix Two state-owned public sector incumbents with a large existing

subscriber base dominate the fixed line service As on December 31 2001 the

two Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) BSNL and MTNL2 owned 3473 million

Direct Exchange Lines (DELs) against 045 million privately owned DELs These

two PSEs were allowed belated entry into the cellular segment in the beginning

of the present decade Consequently their cellular subscriber base is tiny

compared to the private operators Out of 73 million cellular subscribers in the

country in June 2002 they had only 02 million subscribers

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

sector]

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

sector]

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

sector]

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

proud moment for the Indian GSM industry with Airtel becoming the first Indian GSM

operator to join this international club as its 39th

member worldwide and the 16th

in Asia

The National Appeal of Airtel

Airtel enjoys the unique distinction of being the only mobile service having a customer

base of a million plus in 3 telecom circles like Delhi Punjab amp Karnataka This reflects

the leadership position enjoyed by Airtel both in the North and South of India It is

milestones like these which have contributed towards Airtel acquiring an all India market

share of over 26 amongst the GSM customers This in effect means that one amongst

every four GSM mobile users in the country is an Airtel customer

History

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

century and for almost entire 20th century the Telecom in India was operated as a

Government of India wing Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post amp Telegraph Department

(PampT) In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from PampT DoT was

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

therefore it became necessary to separate the Governments policy wing from Operations

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

sector]

Century The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India In 19th

resposnsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the

telecom services of Delhi and MumbaiIt is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out

of Department of Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecomsSubsequently

in 1990s the telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment

wing The Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01

2000 and named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)BSNL operates as a public

sector]
