Telecom Subscriber Base Teledensity
Increasing mobile subscriber numbers and low level of teledensity offers large opportunities to Indian companies
Even though the Indian telecom industry has exceeded a subscriber base of
200 million, its teledensity is only 18 percent. Thus, the Indian market
provides telecom service providers with a large untapped potential due to the
country’s increasing population and its low teledensity.

attract FDI in India in the post-liberalisation era.
FDI calculation takes into account radio paging, cellular mobile
and basic telephone services in the telecommunication sector.
FDI and other M&A activities increasing in number
Reliance Communications Limited has sold a five percent equity share capital of its subsidiary Reliance Telecom Infrastructure Limited to international investors across the US, Europe and Asia. The deal was worth USD 337.5 million.

AIRTEL: Sunil Bharti Mittal
Born 23 October 1957, an Indian telecom mogul, philanthropist and the founder, chairman and Group CEO of Bharti Enterprises.
The US$ 8.3 billion turnover company runs India's largest GSM-based mobile phone service and world's fifth largest wireless company with over 190 million customers across 19 countries in Asia and Africa.
He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honor.

The $9-billion acquisition of Zain Africa transformed Airtel as the fifth largest mobile operator in the world, with a footprint in 19 countries.
The bad news from Africa - both on costs and timelines - has come as a bigger surprise owing to poor work culture, import constraints, logistical systems, and Distribution and marketing networks are being overhauled.
Congested network and call drops have been a recurring problem in Africa.
Attempts to recoup losses comprise efforts to restructure planning, people, streamlining process, better customer management and developing better connectivity and logistics systems.

Vodafone, based in the UK, was the world's largest mobile communications company by revenue.Vodafone operated in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and the US..
Vodafone wasn't the only company eyeing HEL. The fast growth of the Indian mobile market coupled with a relatively low penetration level made it a very lucrative market.
As GOI allowed only 74% of FDI into the sector, Vodafone signed a shareholder agreement in 2007 with its Indian partner, Essar, according to which Vodafone would hold a 52% and Essar would continue to hold a 33% stake.
Vodafone planned to bring world class branding to India, and launched the 3G service in the Indian market. Rather than using the 3G services as a premium product it wanted to take 3G to the rural areas as well.
The strengths of Vodafone include great connectivity, efficient value added services, 3 G and Wi/ fi services and several facilities and plan and options for telecom customers.
VODAFONE HUTCH MERGER
Dr. Gajender Sharma
Dr. Gajender Sharma20
Vodafone-Hutchison Tax CaseVodafone was embroiled in a $2.5 billion tax dispute with the Indian Income Tax Department over its purchase of Hutchison Essar Telecom services in April 2007.
It was being alleged by the Indian Tax authorities that the transaction involved purchase of assets of an Indian Company, and therefore the transaction, or part thereof was liable to be taxed in India.
The crux of the dispute had been whether or not the Indian Income Tax Department has jurisdiction over the transaction. Vodafone had maintained from the outset that it is not liable to pay tax in India; and even if tax were somehow payable, then it should be Hutchison to bear the tax liability.
In January 2012, the Indian Supreme Court passed the judgement in favour of Vodafone, saying that the Indian Income tax department had "no jurisdiction" to levy tax on overseas transaction between companies incorporated outside India. However, Indian government thinks otherwise.

India presents a host of opportunities for telecom companies
To reduce their network deployment costs, many service providers are considering
infrastructure sharing offers the following advantages: Improved service quality Increased affordability for customers Faster roll out of services in rural and remote areas Significant reduction in initial set up costs Increased environmental aesthetics Lower operating costs for service providers
Managed services is another segment that is attracting telecom companies.
On account of the rapidly growing subscriber base, service providers find it difficult
to manage their infrastructure and network management operations. In such
cases, they completely or partially outsource their infrastructure or network
management operations.
Virtual Private Network is a private data network
that provides connectivity within closed user groups via
public telecommunication infrastructure. Competition is
likely to heat up in the VPN segment as DoT has
relaxed the norms for private players.
Enterprise Telecom Services includes key
services, such as voice over Internet protocol (VoIP),
dedicated telecom communication systems, IT
infrastructure enabled unified communication services,
etc. Telecom service providers are increasingly targeting
enterprises by providing dedicated services and is
expected to witness major developments in near future.

CONSTRAINTS, HURDLES, AND CHALLENGES
IN THE GLOBAL AND INDIAN TELECOM SECTOR
INDIAN TELECOM SECTOR: FINANCIAL CRUNCH
One of the most fragmented telecom market- 13 players competing
Firms face an unusual dilemma as they need to invest cash continuously in spectrum and data capacity, but cash generation is limited because EBITDA margins are shrinking.
EBITDA Margins in India – one of the lowest at 35%, as against 40% in China and 54% in Indonesia respectively.
Wireless penetration is amongst the lowest in Asia pacific, where in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand the wireless penetration is above 100%, but In India it stands at less than 80%
The ARPU is one of the lowest in Asia, with Japan, Australia, Malaysia, and China well ahead in the race.
Recently, India's capex/revenue ratio has dropped to below 10% , (20% is the norm for telecom sector), which is low in the midst of 3G rollout,
INDIAN TELECOM SECTOR: FINANCIAL CRUNCH
Telecom Firms like Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications, Aircel are saddled with huge debts, and Indian companies have spent around $15 billion to buy 3G and broadband wireless spectrum and must invest continuously to ensure a decent return.
The telecom firms need to generate cash through several other avenues to keep retiring debt and earmark funds for spectrum allocation. Also, look at a blend of cost reduction to squeeze out cash from the business and equity sales either in their operation or ancillary businesses to free up cash for investment.
The uncertainty over extension of licence and the pricing of spectrum are such a big overhang, and therefore investment plans are on hold.
Most telecom firms like Aircel, RCOM are selling off excess capacity to other rivals to generate funds and reduce the debt burden.
INDIAN TELECOM SECTOR: POSITIVE OUTLOOK
Although, bigger firms are struggling due to liquidity overhang, the smaller companies like Uninor and MTS ARE financially strong operators - find it attractive to buy out one of the larger operators (M&As) instead of going for a greenfield rollout
Companies, meanwhile, are looking for new growth avenues. Vodafone recently started a mobile money transfer scheme called M-Pesa partnering with ICICI Bank in the east.
India has about 867 million wireless subscribers of which about 83% are active. So there are about 500 million people in India who still do not have a mobile phone.
Data-based services still form only about 15% of the overall ARPU compared to more than 40% in developed countries. So there is clearly a huge opportunity still left in India.
The government/ Telecom Commission endorsed raising the FDI cap in Indian telcos to 100%. Though there are a few hurdles, it might attract foreign players.
Dr. Gajender Sharma30
The 2G spectrum scam
Involved politicians and government officials in India illegally undercharging mobile telephony companies for frequency allocation licenses, which they would then use to create 2G subscriptions for cell phones.
The shortfall between the money collected and the money that the law mandated to be collected is estimated to be 1,766.45 billion (US$30 billion), as valued by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India
Dr. Gajender Sharma31
Politicians Accused
Raja: – Political party DMK, four times Member of Parliament, present constituency Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu,
Allegation – In a joint investigation report prepared by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Income Tax Department the agencies allege that A. Raja could have received 30 billion (US$520 million) as bribe for bringing forward the cut-off date for applications for spectrum from the initial 1 October 2007 to 25 September 2008
Pramod Mahajan: CBI decided to include the name of late Pramod Mahajan in a separate column of the charge sheet to be filed by it soon against three cellular companies and former officials in connection with alleged irregularities in spectrum allocation during NDA regime causing a loss of Rs 5.08 billion to the exchequer.

Why RIL-Samsung 4G handset deal failed
Reliance Industries' (RIL's) negotiation with South Korean conglomerate Samsung for developing handsets which can provide voice on 4G technology have hit a hurdle, with the handset maker unwilling to match the price demanded by RIL.
Sources revealed that Reliance Jio Infocomm, an RIL subsidiary, wants the handset for Rs 5,000 a piece.
The Korean giant is unwilling to go below Rs 8,500 per handset, and that too only if RIL agrees to buy over 3 million handsets. Without that commitment, Samsung has quoted a price of Rs 11,000 per handset.

Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was the first of a series of ongoing lawsuits between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics regarding the design of smartphones and tablet computers.
Apple began litigating against Samsung in patent infringement suits, while Apple and Motorola Mobility were already engaged in a patent war on several fronts.
Apple's multinational litigation over technology patents became known as part of the mobile device patent wars: extensive litigation in fierce competition in the global market for consumer mobile communications.
By August 2011, Apple and Samsung were litigating 19 ongoing cases in nine countries. By July 2012, the two companies were still embroiled in more than 50 lawsuits around the globe. While Apple won a ruling in its favor in the U.S., Samsung won rulings in South Korea, Japan, and the UK.
