The long awaited event in the Indian Telecom Industry ”The Grand 3G auction” has been 26th day over with PAN India Spectrum price set at Rs. 13,474 crore, though the auction eventually happened after more than a year from the initial proposed date. Delhi and Mumbai circles grabbed top positions taking an extensive lead from others with prices closing at Rs 2,372.97 & Rs 2,433.88 respectively.
By the time our Indian Telecom industry prepares itself for 3rd Generation let’s talk about existing Value Added Services governing Indian telecom.
Brief definition of VAS : Any service except peer to peer calling comes under of Value Added Service in Telecom. Thus SMS & DATA services are also covered under the Umbrella of VAS.
The prime question here arises, “WHY VAS?”. Present day operators are facing the biggest hick of declining ARPU(Average Revenue Per user) and increasing churn so how can Value added services HELP ???
A sharp decline in average revenue per user is being witnessed due to tumbling tariff rates. Entry of new operators has aggravated this and tariff rates have hit rock bottom levels.

Indian Telecom industry recently crossed the 600 million mark thanks to wireless subscribers who comprise the most with 563.73 million subs. Also the overall Tele density in India has reached 51.05% and wireless Tele-density to 47.91%.

New operators in line for launch in different circles, Falling ARPU, per second billing, Operators searching new ways for increasing revenue, cost cuttings, People working in telecom sector under strain for performances,3G & MNP still in process, Pressure on Telecom / VAS vendor companies, another war between the VAS-vendors with the Telecom Content Providers and many more such aspects… forces one to think that is Indian Telecom Industry really going in right direction?

Greetings to all our esteemed readers of Telecom Talk, so Q2 is over and I guess everyone in our telecom industry has been quite busy recently like me in achieving the targets.
At first will like to congrats Team TT, for achieving a mark more than 4k in terms of subscribed readers.Everyone here must have heard about the new delayed date for MNP implementation and that’s 30th of June the government is saying that still “operators need to be ready for it by upgrading their networks”.
Let’s see if this date is not further extended to 30 Sep or much further and just to update our readers originally MNP was to be implemented in India by sep-2009 and every time the date was extended by 3months.
I guess would it not be good if initially they had given a date like sep-2010 for the Implementation of MNP at least it would have eradicated the resentment amongst the Indian mob towards the govt procedures anyway let’s have a look at the MNP implementation all around the globe. Read more…
