3G in India-Technology and Market Analysis
Indians love to talk. Or at least this is what the telecom firms had in their mind when they bet Rs. 102.7 Crores for the recently concluded 3G and BWA (Broadband Wireless Access) auctions. The Indian telecom market has seen an average growth rate of 30% for the past many years, and today the number of mobile phone subscribers in the country stands at almost 600 million, or nearly half the population of the country subscribes to cellular services.
By 2012, within three years of its launch, 3G services in India are projected to reach 50 million subscribers. After the recently-concluded 3G spectrum auction, key telecom operators in the country including Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications, Idea Cellular, Tata Teleservices and Vodafone Essar are preparing to usher in the 'next gen' communication, content and entertainment experience for telecom subscribers. Taking a lead, soon after acquiring the license, Reliance Communications has already announced the roll out of its 3G services, MobileNet Plan- providing unlimited Internet access, multimedia content download, instant messaging, chat services, and access to social networking sites and email to pre-paid and post-paid subscribers at an affordable Rs 99 per month. This is an early indicator of how the 3G technology is set to alter, surely and rapidly, the market dynamics in telecom and beyond.
In the recent years, telecom operators in India have faced the challenge of driving profitable growth. Declining ARPUs (Average Revenue per User) and MPU (Margin per User) on voice services have brought call charges to as low as half a paisa per second, or even lower for certain operators, putting a question mark on the sustainability of a voice-dependent business model. Amidst this scenario, VAS is emerging as the long-term savior for telecom players. 3G, with its technological advancements, will significantly enhance the telecom operators' data carrying capacity, allowing them to roll out speedier data-intensive and unobstructed multimedia streaming services.
