DEFINITION OF OLIGOPOLYAn oligopoly market is much like a monopoly market, in which only one company exerts control over most of the market. In an oligopoly, there are at least two firms controlling the market. Usually, a scenario in which a particular market is controlled by a small group of firms
The number of producers in oligopoly are lesser than that of perfect competition and monopolistic competition.
It is a competition among few big sellers each one of them selling either homogeneous or differentiated products.

GENERAL DEMAND TRENDS:The regulatory reforms in the telecom sector from 2000 to 2011 can be broadly classified into the following three distinct phases.
Phase 1 (2000–2003): Telecom sectors were opened up to competition.
Phase 2 (2004–2007):Regulator encouraged competition and also set the stage for future growth.
Phase 3 (2008–2011): More choices were brought in for consumers in terms of technology and services.

Competitive rivalry
Due to high fixed cost, low average revenue per user and high exit barriers have created strong rivalry in telecom sector. There are more than 15 telecom companies in India and at least five to six are present in each circle. To increase customer share if one reduce its prices all do the same and innovations are no longer an advantage for particular company.

Share of Telecom Services in GDP
There has been an increasing share of telecom services in the growth of GDP for India. The reason for these is that the government only allowed private and foreign owned companies in India after 2003.Till then there were only state owned companies that were active.

Composition Of Telephone Subscribers
If we take all the data in consideration, then the pie chart can be distributed like it is shown here.
The wireline connection shows landline connection and wireless shows mobile phones.
The Urban sector keeps its edge over the market with over 60% of subscribers.

Wireline vs. WirelessWireline subscribers have been declined too much in the last two or three years with the increasing competition of wireless communication companies.
The trai report by government of India shows that there is almost 0.60 million loss of subscribers in every quarter of last two years bringing the total share to just 2.47% out of the total 100.
But contradicting the situation, the Broadband internet connections have increased from 14.98 million to 15.05 million in a single quarter registering the yearly growth of a whopping 8.98%.
Similarly, the per capita average revenue has increased from 98 Rupees to 105 Rupees in 2013.
