In line with the objectives, the country set the following targets in different service areas: Government aiming at 'One India Call' rate: Under the proposed rate, costs to be made independent of distance. Calling up somebody who is 600km away would cost the same as connecting to a person 1,800km away. Addition of about 100m phones by December 2007 (total 250m phones by December 2007). Project for release of 45MHz spectrum from Defence for growth of mobile services are launched. The additional spectrum is likely to be made available in the beginning of the year 2007. Project for sharing of infrastructure by mobile operators is launched in Delhi and Mumbai. Providing of Village Public Telephone (VPTs) in 66,822 unconnected villages as a component of the Bharat Nirman programme. 46,253 Rural Community Phones to be provided in villages with population exceeding 2,000 and without a public phone facility other than a VPT. Agreements signed for providing Rural household Lines (RDELs) in 1,685 commercially unviable Short Distance Charging Areas Modalities for sharing of infrastructure for increasing rural mobile penetration are in advance stage of finalisation. To facilitate speedy rural penetration, entry handsets with a price-tag of Rs1,700 are launched. Planning to provide mobile coverage in villages with population more than 5,000 by September 2006, and villages with population more than 2,000 by March 2007.

However, voice revenue is forecast to decline by 2% to Rs 18,300 crore in 2010 from 2009. The revenue from broadband and internet access over fixed lines is forecast to collectively grow to about Rs6,100 crore in 2010. 12.2 Mobile Services The mobile handset market, both feature-packed phones and smartphones, would account for Rs.1,28,129 crore in 2014, up from Rs.64,077 crore in 2011. In 2012, the research report said the telecom services market would reach Rs.2,05,454 crore and the mobile handset segment would touch Rs.83,377 crore. The market is expected to witness more excitement on the CPU front, with the launch of multicore processor based smartphones by a number of mobile phone vendors by end 2011. 12.3 Internet Services Internet services in India witnessed significant growth in the last few years owing to increased presence of the private players and emergence of new technologies. A significant improvement is also seen in the quality of internet services given the substantial upgradation of telecom infrastructure. The subscriber base of internet services reached 13.50m on March 31, 2009 as compared with 0.09m in 1997. During the last 5 years (FY05-FY09), the subscriber base of internet services registered an average annual growth of 24.46%, primarily driven by the rapid growth in subscriber base of the public sector players.
13. Conclusion
Indias telecom sector witnessed an increase in user base by 17.98m users in June 2010. The telephone subscriber base in the countrys telecom sector went up to 671.69m. Indias telecom sector is one of the largest telecom in-mdidemo from 115.111.95.19 on 2011-10-08 20:39:15 EDT. DownloadPDF. ISIEmergingMarketsPDF markets in the world and is estimated to touch 700m subscribers by 2012. As per the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the number of telephone subscriber base in the Indian telecom sector stood at 653.92m as on May 31, 2010 thereby recording an increase of 2.49% from 638.05m in April 2010. Recently, the telecom infrastructure firm Quippo-WTTIL signed a deal with IBM to provide technical support. The Indian telecom sector is among the most growing sectors in the country. In the past several years, telecommunications industry is performing very well in the country. At present, tariffs are at an all-time low, as service providers are in a race to win the hearts of the users through better quality and value added services. Government policies are becoming friendlier towards investment. In the true sense, the industry is at its best. The major global players of the telecom industry are here with their long-term investment plans. Indias infrastructure is quite complex due to the diversity of the geographical, cultural and political structure. There are problems in the way of expanding telecommunication network in the hinterland of the country, which include lack of reliable and good quality power, limitations of copper cable, dispersed locations of villages and prohibitive access and inadequate security and control. If the country could overcome the major hurdles in infrastructure development with Governments support and private participation, Indias telecommunication industry is all set for a massive growth in the near future.
