Industrial Development currently offer a wide range of services in India including: ˆ Wireless connectivity based on GSM or CDMA; ˆ State of the art technology wireline networks; ˆ Broadband and Internet connectivity; ˆ Value added services such as location based services, push to talk, messaging, multilingual SMS and host of content based applications among others; ˆ MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) and VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol). Indias improved telecom infrastructure has been a great help to various industries: ˆ BPOs, business process outsourcers, provide call centre services and need very reliable communications, as there is a penalty for every dropped call; ˆ Offshore software development companies such as Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Satyam etc, provide software services for international clients; connectivity is crucial to their business; ˆ FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) companies running centralised applications have shifted their data centres to India—to telcos offering data centres and reliable global connectivity. The worlds leading OSS-BSS (Operations and Business Support Services) players—CSG, Convergys, Portal, Intec, Comptel, Metasolv and HP—are developing their latest solutions in the billing, mediation, interconnect, fraud and revenue assurance, service assurance, inventory management, and service provisioning etc. in India. India has many prepaid and post paid mobile subscribers. The telcos offer them a wide range of plans, innovative ideas, new applications and powerful devices to meet their needs. Nokia, Samsung, LG, Ericsson, and Motorola dominate the handset market. Indias major market segments have a variety of specific needs: ˆ Upper class Consumers: High-end, feature rich, handsets and data services (MMS etc.). In this segment, almost every household member over 12 years of age has a phone; ˆ Upper Middle Consumers: These need to be connected and want to be trendy; ˆ Lower Middle class households and entrepreneurs: This segment is largely prepaid; it includes small entrepreneurs who use it for work, e.g. Reliance Infocomm offered them call rates as low as 1 cent per minute and hopes this way to replace other means of communication, such as letters, with phones; ˆ Corporate segment: The segment needs to maintain contact with its key employees and uses closed-user-group services to reduce the costs of voice communication with its employees. Corporate users are big customers for Internet connectivity and data communications in general; ˆ Small and Medium Enterprises: This segment needs reduced cost mobile connectivity; it uses shared services and virtual private networks for data services instead of proprietary data networks. Overall, though, the most important single trend observed seems to be the replacement of landline with convenient, lower cost, mobile service. Mobile users now exceed wireline consumers in parts of India. In India, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is continually creating completely new solutions for enterprise customers that promise to be major revenue generators around the globe. Telecom service providers and IT services providers are working closely to address customer requirements that depend upon integrated ICT infrastructures. These include such critically important applications as enterprise data centres that connect and integrate a companys offices worldwide as well as to its corporate disaster recovery centre. Solutions are needed that let businesses run non-stop, 24x7, with 99.9 per cent uptime. This requires IT and telco companies to work together to ensure client business application availability. The ICT sector is working to provide a new level of support for the corporate markets key needs by connecting a large, mobile, workforce; and developing an e-enabled organisation with automated workflow based processes for day to day functioning and regular feedback from workers in the field. IT companies and telcos are joining hands to meet these business needs for mobile, e-enabled, corporate applications, in particular: ˆ Email/Messaging—almost all telcos in India offer mobile email access; this is a very popular application; ˆ Office productivity - office applications such as MSWord, PowerPoint, and Excel are being offered as services; ˆ Sales force automation—to enable the sales force to regularly upload sales information for management review; ˆ Dealer/retailer outlet connectivity - large corporations in the FMCG and manufacturing sectors have extended value chains. The need to be connected with their support infrastructure and retailers is critical to their business. Mobile enabling of these applications has been a growth catalyst in these sectors. The telecom segment in India has had a major impact upon the day-to-day life of individuals and the way business is conducted by organisations, and has helped speed the countrys economic development. In years to come, India will be a place to watch for key innovations and as an example to other parts of globe. We welcome your comments ...
