Whose Game is it anyway?Telecom in India has crossed the nascent stage and matured into one of the most profitable domains in the market. Starting from a modest one circle per operator in early 90s today the 5 major Telecom operators with nation wide licenses finds it difficult to service the mammoth Indian population.

How else does one explain the licenses for new operators?India has seen rapid growth in the telecom market. I remember the early days when one would be charged Rs.10 for receiving the call and seriously people would still use mobile phones.

It was another issue all together that it was more of a status symbol to have one. A lot has changed ever since with call rates sky diving and electronic prices going South, globalization has only contributed in this sector India thanks to its population and mentality to show off (what else do you call a person having 3 mobile phones and numbers?) has one of the largest subscriber base in the world.

Today a call costs nothing more than a paisa per second or a character apiece for messaging. India is all mobile and why shouldn’t it?

Everyone from the top honchos to their drivers, servicemen to delivery boys has a mobile. School going children want a cell phone more than they want a Hero pen ( we so very much desired at our times and yes I am talking just about a decade back), they learnt the sms lingo much faster , no wonder the grammar teacher has her bag of woes full! The mobiles are here to stay and so are the telecom companies. No wonder more companies want a bite of the Indian pie.
