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

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
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]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

(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

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

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
(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]

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
(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
(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]

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]

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
sector]
