INDUSTRY PROFILE
Indian Telecom Sector
Introduction
The telecom services have been recognized the world-over as an important tool for
socio-economic development for a nation. It is one of the prime support services
needed for rapid growth and modernization of various sectors of the economy.
Indian telecommunication sector has undergone a major process of transformation
through significant policy reforms, particularly beginning with the announcement of
NTP 1994 and was subsequently re-emphasized and carried forward under NTP
1999. Driven by various policy initiatives, the Indian telecom sector witnessed a
complete transformation in the last decade. It has achieved a phenomenal growth
during the last few years and is poised to take a big leap in the future also.
Liberalization
The process of liberalization in the country began in the right earnest with the
announcement of the New Economic Policy in July 1991. Telecom equipment
manufacturing was relicensed in 1991 and value added services were declared open
to the private sector in 1992, following which radio paging, cellular mobile and other
value added services were opened gradually to the private sector. This has resulted
in large number of manufacturing units been set up in the country. As a result most
of the equipment used in telecom area is being manufactured within the country. A
major breakthrough was the clear enunciation of the governments intention of
liberalizing the telecom sector in the National Telecom Policy resolution of 13th May
1994.
6
National Telecom Policy 1994
In 1994, the Government announced the National Telecom Policy which defined certain
important objectives, including availability of telephone on demand, provision of world class
services at reasonable prices, improving Indias competitiveness in global market and promoting
exports, attractive FDI and stimulating domestic investment, ensuring Indias emergence as major
manufacturing / export base of telecom equipment and universal availability of basic telecom
services to all villages. It also announced a series of specific targets to be achieved by 1997.
The entry of private service providers brought with it the inevitable need for independent
\regulation. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was, thus, established with effect
from 20th February 1997 by an Act of Parliament, called the Telecom Regulatory Authority of
India Act, 1997, to regulate telecom services, including fixation/revision of tariffs for telecom
services which were earlier vested in the Central Government.
TRAIs mission is to create and nurture conditions for growth of telecommunications in the
country in manner and at a pace, which will enable India to play a leading role in emerging
global information society. One of the main objectives of TRAI is to provide a fair and
transparent policy environment, which promotes a level playing field and facilitates fair
competition. In pursuance of above objective TRAI has issued from time to time a large number
of regulations, orders and directives to deal with issues coming before it and provided the
required direction to the evolution of Indian telecom market from a Government own monopoly
to a multi operator multi service open competitive market. The directions, orders and regulations
issued cover a wide range of subjects including tariff, interconnection and quality of service as
well as governance of the Authority.
The TRAI Act was amended by an ordinance, effective from 24 January 2000, establishing a
Telecommunications Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) to take over the
adjudicatory and disputes functions from TRAI. TDSAT was set up to adjudicate any dispute
between a licensor and a licensee, between two or more service providers, between a service
7
provider and a group of consumers, and to hear and dispose of appeals against any direction,
decision or order of TRAI.
The most important milestone and instrument of telecom reforms in India is the New Telecom
Policy 1999 (NTP 99). The New Telecom Policy, 1999 (NTP-99) was approved on 26th March
1999, to become effective from 1st April 1999. NTP-99 laid down a clear roadmap for future
reforms, contemplating the opening up of all the segments of the telecom sector for private sector
participation. It clearly recognized the need for strengthening the regulatory regime as well as
restructuring the departmental telecom services to that of a public sector corporation so as to
separate the licensing and policy functions of the Government from that of being an operator. It
also recognized the need for resolving the prevailing problems faced by the operators so as to
Restore their confidence and improve the investment climate.
Strengthening of Regulator.
Private telecom operators licensed on a revenue sharing basis, plus a one-time entry
Direct interconnectivity and sharing of network with other telecom operators within
All the commitments made under NTP 99 have been fulfilled; each one of them, in letter and
spirit, some even ahead of schedule, and the reform process is now complete with all the sectors
8
in telecommunications opened for private competition.
3. Today, India is one of the fastest growing telecom markets in the world. The unprecedented
increase in teledensity and sharp decline in tariffs in the Indian telecom sector have contributed
significantly to the countrys economic growth. Besides contributing to about 3% to Indias GDP,
Telecommunications, along with Information Technology, has greatly accelerated the growth of
the economic and social sectors.
4. The National Telecom Policy 2012 (NTP 2012) is conceived against this backdrop. The vision
is to transform the country into an empowered and inclusive knowledge-based society, using
Telecommunications as a platform.
9
Distance operations were also issued.
Total foreign equity (including equity of NRIs and international funding agencies)
Must not exceed 74%. Promoters must have a combined net worth of Rs.25 million.
Private operators will have to enter into an arrangement with fixed-service providers
Within a circle for traffic between long-distance and short-distance charging centres.
Seven years time frame set for rollout of network, spread over four phases. Any
Private operators to pay one-time entry fee of Rs.25 million plus a Financial Bank
Guarantee (FBG) of Rs.200 million. The revenue sharing agreement would be to the
Extent of 6%.
Private operators allowed to set up landing facilities that access submarine cables and
10
equipment are payable separately. At present 24 ILD service providers (22 Private and 2 Public
Sector Undertaking) are there. As per current roll out obligations under ILD license, the licensee
undertakes to fulfill the minimum network roll out obligations for installing at least one Gateway
Switch having appropriate interconnections with at least one National Long Distance service
licensee.
Another major step was to set up the Universal Service Obligation Fund with effect from April 1,
2002. An administrator was appointed for this purpose. Subsequently, the Indian Telegraph
(Amendment) Act, 2003 giving statutory status to the Universal Service Obligation Fund
(USOF) was passed by both Houses of Parliament in December 2003. The Fund is to be utilized
exclusively for meeting the Universal Service Obligation and the balance to the credit of the
Fund will not lapse at the end of the financial year. Credits to the Fund shall be through
Parliamentary approvals. The Rules for administration of the Fund known as Indian Telegraph
(Amendment) Rules, 2004 were notified on 26.03.2004.The resources for implementation of
USO are raised through a Universal Service Levy (USL) which has presently been fixed at 5% of
the Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) of all Telecom Service Providers except the pure value
added service providers like Internet, Voice Mail, E-Mail service providers etc. In addition, the
Central Govt. may also give grants and loans. An Ordinance was promulgated on 30.10.2006 as
the Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Ordinance 2006 to amend the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 in
order to enable support for mobile services, broadband connectivity, general infrastructure and
pilot project for new technological developments in rural and remote areas of the country.
Subsequently, an Act has been passed on 29.12.2006 as the Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Act
2006 to amend the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885.USFO has initiated action to bring mobile
services within the ambit of Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) activities. Under this
initiative, 7387 mobile infrastructure sites are being rolled out, in the first phase, across 500
districts and 27 states of India. This scheme will provide mobile services to approximately 0.2
million villages which where hitherto deprived of the same. As on 30th June 2010, 7183 shared
towers have been set up under the First Phase of the scheme. The USOFof DOT has proposed to
set up about 10,128 additional towers in order to extend the mobile coverage in other uncovered
areas under the Second Phase of the Scheme.
11
The Government in the public interest in general, and consumer interest in
particular, and for proper conduct of telegraph and telecom services has decided to
issue the new guidelines for grant of licence of Internet services on non-exclusive
basis. Any Indian company with a maximum foreign equity of 74% is eligible for
grant of licence.
Network Expansion
The telecom sector has shown robust growth during the past few years. It has also
undergone a substantial change in terms of mobile versus fixed phones and public
versus private participation. The following table shows the growth trend of telecom
sector from last five years: The number of telephones has increased from 54.63
million as on 31.03.2003 to 621.28 million as on
Trend in Tele-density
Tele-density in the country increased from 5.11% in 2003 to 52.74 % in March 2010. In the rural
area tele density increased from 1.49% in Mar 2003 to 24.31% in March 2010 and in the urban
areas it is increased from 14.32% in Mar 2003 to119.45% in March 2010.This indicates a rising
trend of Indian telecom subscribers.
Rural Telephony
Apart from the 200.77million fixed and WLL connections on March 2010 provided in the rural
areas, 570000 uncovered VPTs have been provided as on March 2010. Thus, 96% of the villages
in India have been covered by the VPTs. More than 3 lakh PCOs are also providing community
access in the rural areas. Further, Mobile Gramin Sanchar Sewak Scheme (GSS) a mobile Public
Call Office (PCO) service is provided at the doorstep of villagers. At present, 2772 GSSs are
covering 12043 villages. Also, to provide Internet service, Sanchar Dhabas (Internet Kiosks)
have been provided in more than 3500 Block Headquarters out of the total 6337 Blocks in the
country. The target of 80 million rural connections by 2010 have already met during year 2008
itself. USOF subsidy support scheme is also being utilized for sharing wireless infrastructure in
rural areas with about 19,000 towers by 2010.Rising demand for a wide range of telecom
equipment, particularly in the area of mobile telecommunication, has provided excellent
opportunities to domestic and foreign investors in the Manufacturing sector. The last two years
saw many renowned telecom companies setting up their manufacturing base in India. Ericsson
set up GSM Radio Base Station Manufacturing facility in Jaipur. Elcoteq set up handset
12
manufacturing facilities in Bangalore. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks have set up their
manufacturing plant in Chennai. LG Electronics set up plant of manufacturing GSM mobile
phones near Pune. Ericsson launched their R&D Centre in Chennai. Flextronics set up an SEZ in
Chennai. Other major companies like Foxconn, Aspcom, Solectron etc have decided to set up
their manufacturing bases in India.The Government has already set up Telecom
Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council and Telecom Testing and Security
Certification Centre (TETC). A large number of companies like Alcatel, Cisco have
also shown interest in setting up their R&D centers in India. With above initiatives
India is expected to be a manufacturing hub for the telecom equipment.
Opportunities
India offers an unprecedented opportunity for telecom service operators, infrastructure vendors,
manufacturers and associated services companies. A host of factors are contributing to enlarged
opportunities for growth and investment in telecom sector:
Investors can look to capture the gains of the Indian telecom boom and diversify their operations
outside developed economies that are marked by saturated telecom markets and lower GDP
growth rates.
India has proven its dominance as a technology solution provider. Efforts are being continuously
made to develop affordable technology for masses, as also comprehensive security infrastructure
for telecom network. Research is on for the preparation of tested infrastructure for enabling
interoperability in Next Generation Network. It is expected that the telecom equipment R & D
shall be doubled from present level of 15%. Modern technologies inductions are being
promoted. Pilot projects on the existing and emerging technologies have been undertaken
including WiMax, 4G etc. Emphasis is being given to technologies having potential to improve
rural connectivity. Also to beef up R&D infrastructure in the telecom sector and bridge the digital
divide, cellular operators, top academic institutes and the Government of India together set up
the Telecom Centres of Excellence (COEs). The main objectives of the COEs are as follows:
13
Achieve Telecom Vision that stipulates a definite growth model and take it
beyond.
To achieve these objectives seven Centre of Excellences in various field of Telecom have been
set up with the support of Government and the participation of private/public telecom operators
as sponsors, at the selected academic institutions of India. The details of COEs are enumerated

The government has in a pioneering decision, decided to auction 3G & BWA spectrum. The
broad policy guidelines for 3G & BWA have already been issued on 1 stAugust 2008 and llotment
of spectrum has been planned through simultaneously ascending e-auction process by a
specialized agency. New players would also be able to bid thus leading to technology innovation,
more competition, faster roll out and ultimately greater choice for customers at competitive
15
tariffs. The 3G will allow telecom companies to offer additional value added services such as
high resolution video and multimedia services in addition to voice, fax and conventional data
services with high data rate transmission capabilities. BWA will become a predominant platform
for broadband roll out services. It is also an effective tool for undertaking social initiatives of the
Government such as e-education, telemedicine, e-health and e-Governance. Providing affordable
broadband, especially to the suburban and rural communities is the next focus area of the
Department..
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) allows subscribers to retain their existing telephone number
when they switch from one access service provider to another irrespective of mobile technology
or from one technology to another of the same or any other access service provider. The
Government has announced the guidelines for Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Service
Licence in the country on 1st August 2008 and has issued a separate Licence for MNP service
w.e.f. 20.03.2009.

Market Structure
At 861.48 million connections in April 2011' Indian Telecom Industry' is the third largest and
fastest growing in the world. According to Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI), the
GSM cellular subscriber base has reached to 590.19 million in May 2011 from 580.66 million at
the end of April 2011. There were 826.93 million total wireless subscribers (including GSM and
17
CDMA) in the country at the end of April 2011. As per projections, wireless telephony will
continue to fuel growth in the Indian telecom industry with mobile subscribers base in India is
expected to reach 1.159 billion by 2013.
18
STRENGTHS
The broadband subscribers grew from 0.18 million in 2005 to6.2 million as on 30 April
2009 and about 7.98 million, but in may 2012 users are 14.31 million.
Wireless subscribers growing at a CAGR of 60 per cent per annum since 2004.
The Indian telecom market is a high density area, which means more population per
tower. This means lower capital expenditure cost.
WEAKNESSES
India will be among the last countries in the world to get access to 3G technology. Some
estimates suggest that nearly 132 countries across the world already have 3G technology
and mobile services in one form or the other.
10 to 12 companies offer mobile services in most parts of India, globally, the average is
4.
19
Difficult to enter because of requirement of huge financial resources.
OPPORTUNITIES
3G Telecom services and 4G services
More Quality Service
Mobile Number Portability will force the Service provider to improve their
quality to avoid losing subscribers
Value added Services (VAS)
The mobile value added services include, text or SMS, menu based services,
downloading of music or ringtones, mobile TV, videos, streaming, sophisticated
m-commerce applications etc.
Mobile banking, Mobile Ticketing etc
Telecom Equipment Exports
The Indian telecom industry is expected to reach a size of Rs 344,921 crore by
2012 at a growth rate of over 26 per cent, and generate employment opportunities
for about 10 million people during the same period.The sector would create direct
employment for 2.8 million people and for 7 million indirectly, according to a
Frost and Sullivan report.
Horizontal Integration
Entry Into other consumer segments leveraging the present channels
E.g. DTH service like Reliance BIG TV, Tata SKY, Airtel digital TV by telecom
majors like Reliance, Tata and Airtel Respectively.
Other examples : Airtel website builder
Providing fibre Connectivity to 2,50,000 village panchayat by 2013.
More scope in content related services, since, the consumer is influenced by local culture.
Local festivals like Baisakhi, Chhath Puja, religious festivals like Diwali,
Chrismas etc., National festivals like Independence Day etc.
THREATS
Telecommunication Policies
e.g. Trails 2G direction affecting new players most notably Tata Teleservices,
Norways Teleport and Essar-owned Loop Telecom
Renewal of 2G license on the basis of market rates of 3G auctions
TRAI intentions of rolling out 4G or the fourth-generation technology, known as
the ultra-broadband in 2-3 years raising fears rendering 3G services somewhat
obsolete.
Declining ARPU (average Revenue per user)
E.g. price wars like per-second billing which is deflating revenues and making
sure the survival of the fittest
Partiality on the part of the Govt.
E.g. Allowing 3G service in a PSU (MTNL, BSNL) before auctioning to Private

Literature Review
By Nick Miller
The study by Nick Miller (2001) explains that customers revenues drive their ability to repay
loans. Banks revenue drives their stock prices. The study answers certain question like; how
much risk surround borrowers abilities to reach their sales goals this year, how certain are banks
about sales team members that they will meet or exceed their sales goals that particular year.
21
which sales team members know and perform the right activities correctly, with the most
profitable customers and prospects, at the correct times, and in correct frequencies and
volume to produce predictable results.
He also believes in balanced scorecard approach to sales he quotes As Kaplan and Norton
expressed in their book, balanced scorecard: (the balanced scorecard) should translate a
business unit mission and strategy into tangible objectives and measures (that) represent a
balanced between external measures and internal measures of critical business processes the
measures are balanced between outcome measures and the measures that drive future
performances.
According to Rajgopal the balance between team designing and team coordination in performing
sales and managerial control strategies are normally based on salespersons outcomes. It may be
appropriate for the managers to consider review of team designs for improving the sales unit
effectiveness. However, there is no apparent negative impact of relatively high levels of control
behavior in combination with team coordination and leadership attributes. Work environment is
largely governed by team coordination effects for the salespeople. Sales team building process
has a large effect on sales organization effectiveness both directly and indirectly through its
relationship with salespersons behavioral performance. Collecting and processing territory and
account information are major aspects of salespersons task and to a large extent salespersons
effectiveness depends on the amount and quality of the market information available to t hem.
The study reviews existing theoretical and management issues pertaining to team sales practices
and determines major variables that affect the team performance in selected industries. The
results of the study are consistent with the findings of the previous studies referred in the paper.
However, this paper attempts to contribute significantly to the existing studies a sthere is paucity
of literature on this subject particularly in references to Latin America.

COMPANY PROFILE
Tata Teleservices Limited (TTL) spearheads the Tata Group's presence in the telecom sector.
Incorporated in 1996, TTL is the pioneer of the CDMA 1x technology platform in India and
embarked on a growth path after the acquisition of Hughes Telecom (India) Limited [renamed
Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Limited] by the Tata Group in 2002. It launched mobile
operations in January 2005 and today enjoys a pan-India presence through existing operations in
all of India's 22 telecom Circles. The company is also the market leader in the fixed wireless
telephony market and also enjoys leadership position in the enterprise space.
Tata Teleservices Limited has established a significant presence in the GSM space, despite
having entered the market less than three years ago in a joint venture with NTT DOCOMO of
Japan, and offers differentiated products and services under the Tata DOCOMO brand name.
Tata DOCOMO arises out of the Tata Group's strategic alliance with Japanese telecom major
NTT DOCOMO in November 2008. Tata DOCOMO has a pan-India license to operate GSM
telecom services-and has also been allotted spectrum in 18 telecom Circles. The company rolled
23
out GSM services in all of these 18 telecom Circles in the quick span of just over a year and is
today one of India's best-recalled private telecom operator brands.
Tata DOCOMO marks a significant milestone in the Indian telecom landscape, and has already
redefined the very face of telecoms in India, being the first to pioneer the per-second tariff
option-part of its Pay for What You Use' pricing paradigm. Tokyo-based NTT DOCOMO is one
of the world's leading mobile operators-in the Japanese market, the company is the clear market
leader, used by nearly 55 per cent of the country's mobile phone users.
Tata Teleservices Limited was also the first Indian private telecom operator to launch 3G services
in India under the brand name Tata DOCOMO, with its 3G launch in all the nine
telecom Circles where it bagged the 3G license in November 2010. In association with its NTT
DOCOMO, the Company finds itself favorably positioned to leverage this first-mover advantage.
TTL also has a strategic partnership agreement with retail giant Future Group to offer mobile
telephony services under the brand name-T24-on the GSM platform. The exciting new brand was
unveiled last year and the company first launched GSM operations in the city of Hyderabad. It
has since launched T24 GSM services in all 18 Circles where TTL has a GSM license.
In December 2011, TTL announced a unique reverse equity swap strategic agreement between its
telecom tower subsidiary, Wireless TT Info-Services Limited, and Quippo Telecom Infrastructure
Limited-with the combined entity kicking off operations with 18,000 towers, thereby becoming
the largest independent entity in this space-with the highest tenancy ratios in the industry. Today,
the combined entity-which has been re-christened as VIOM Networks-has a portfolio of nearly
40,000 towers.
