Indias Telecommunications Industry

This book analyzes the growth of the Indian telecommunications industry in the era of liberalization - a period which has witnessed significant changes. Providing a detailed critique of government policy and of industry regulation, the author of this book maintains that the healthy growth of the industry requires a radical change in the entire policy approach. He questions the general impression that the telecommunications industry has been a great success. He offers an alternative way forward describing an efficent system of public policy generated through open public debate.

Telecommunications Industry in India represents the first comprehensive study of a state-run enterprise in the telecommunications industry. The study traces over a period of half a century (1948-2009) the growth and decline of Indian Telephone Industries (ITI). At the heart of the monograph stands one central interrogation: How does the socio-technical system of production in a state-controlled firm shape the relations linking the four main actors: the state, management, union and workers? The original contribution of this book lies in combining business history and labour history within a single conceptual framework. The author evaluates the broader conclusions about the telecommunications industry and public sector through the lens of an individual firm to arrive at a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics of change in the globalizing Indian economy. The work is well in command of the literature on the global business history counterparts of ITI in the telecommunications industry. It is further strengthened by the use of French material on the subject which is now accessible for the first time in English.

This book traces important legal and regulatory developments in the first two decades since the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was established, along with its political and economic aspects. It narrates the story of the institutional progress of TRAI and its influence on the growth of India’s telecom sector. The telecom revolution was a game changer in post-liberalization India, a country today home to the second largest subscriber base in the world– more people have access to mobile phones than toilets. Its rapid, relentless growth has created new possibilities and challenges, including a robust regulatory policy. This book, the first comprehensive survey of TRAI’s progress, examines the salient developments in regulation of the Indian telecom sector. It analyses, at the macro-institutional level, the norms and rules reconstituted over time; at the institutional level, the impact of important court judgments, relevant telecom case law (including the 2G judgment and Adjusted Gross Revenue-related cases), and the ‘judicialization’ of regulatory governance; and, at the micro-institutional level, the mechanisms of governance of TRAI and the way its functioning has affected the alignment of incentives in the regulatory space. It provides an overview of the regulatory framework and the context in which the telecom sector was deregulated, the structure of internal governance, and issues in telecom licensing and spectrum allotment. The book combines academic rigour and empirical research with a practitioner’s perspective of the unfolding events. It will interest students and researchers of economics, law, public policy, communications technology, and ICT policy and regulation, as well as telecom sector professionals, service providers, academic experts, policymakers, and think tanks.

The Indian telecommunications industry is among the fastest-growing in the world, and by 2023, India is projected to overtake China as the second-largest telecom market globally. India's telecom industry has expanded significantly since a sizable section of the population lacks wireless connections. Given the severe competition among subscriber service providers, marketing techniques are crucial for the growth and profitability of companies. This short paper examines the advertising tactics used by Indian Telecom. The majority of subscribers encounter call drops or network loss, therefore telecom services need to resolve that issue and telecom service providers should uphold quality in service. The majority of subscribers expect quality in service.
