Now the news on the Rocks is the green flag given by Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to Bharti AirTel for buying stake in Warid Telecom Bangladesh, cheers to AirTel, after the discontent caused by the MTN deal failure last year the starting of 2010 seems good for Indian Telecom Giant.

Again the same has happened which was just supposed to be, The Auctions pertaining to ‘MNP’ & ‘3G’ are again set to delay from there proposed dates, The 3G auction is again said to be delayed for 2-3 weeks more (rather now the date was almost an year late of what was proposed initially )
As par as Mobile Number Portability is concerned so yet again the excuse is that still some operators are not equipped to provide this facility also there are some talks down the line as to as ‘BSNL & MTNL’ that they will not be able to implement the system before April next year in view of the lack of time to twist the technology, tariff plans and billing. So this again seems for sure that we won’t be witnessing the MNP going live at 31 Dec 09 (its old proposed date prior it was Sep 09). Read more…

Telecom Price war like never-ever before, what exactly do you call a situation where you are about to dine and having 52 dishes ready in your buffet and you are thinking of what to eat and what to leave.
Our Indian telecom market is about to set in this connotation I guess if one tries to remember which were the plans offered by any particular operator within a span of week he/she might fell himself stuck with amnesia.
If looked correctly all these plans and offerings are just revolving around one SUN and that’s ‘NEW SUBS ADDIN’, still in Indian telecom market getting the maximum of new subscribers per month is been given amongst top priority and simultaneously maintaining the existing subscriber base remains the part of it.
If you look around news headlines these days they are more or less likely as “Diwali Special Festive offer”, “Launch of Low tariff plan”, “Introduction of Per second pulse”, “Again Lowest tariff Buzz”, or something like “Unlimited Dialer tones” or “Super second & Super saral packs” and many more like these no matter who the Operator is and no matter in which area its operating, the price war of Indian telecom market is getting intense day by day.

If I look two years back, a mobile user would never have imagined that two years down the line he could be talking to someone on an STD call at a tariff quite less than that of local calls ! This has happened and we all are witnessing it.
The competition in present Indian market has never been so intense as it is now, no matter if the operator is incumbent or a newbie, we can hear about the launch of new tariff plans, easy recharge vouchers, free minutes calling and more exclusive services almost on daily basis and still feel that a lot more is yet to come. It seems that one day an ideal mobile user will be confused about what plan to choose among the countless options available. Anyway that day seems to be near and we all are going to witness that but what our eyes are witnessing right now is the punchline “Why can’t your mobile operator count in seconds?” Read more…

With emergence of more new telecom operators in the Indian market there seems a supplementary bottleneck competition among the incumbent and upcoming operators in the coming time. As by end of the day everyone has one aim i.e Growth in number of new subs, Less churn, Increase in ARPU, “Revenue” and Revenue” all around.
The starting of this year was quite booming for Indian telecom sector as RCOM – GSM emerged in the market and broke all records in selling of new SIM’s by any operator at launch I guess the same was the reason that operators like Airteland Vodafone were not open for the Rcom – GSM’s launch at initial, Also after launch operators intended to state that we are not concerned with the rising number of subscribers in our bucket but for providing good service to the existing ones.
If to name the new coming/arrived operators they can be collaborated Read more…
