Analysts hail new telecom policy, call it forward-lookingIBNLive.com Leading analysts have welcomed the new telecom policy, saying it is forward-looking as it will not only help consumers but will also aid the troubled operators in the long-term. "The policy is clearly forward-looking for aspects such as increasing broadband usage, increasing rural tele-density, promoting domestic manufacturing," KPMG India Telecom Head Romal Shetty said. But for the policy to be effective and growth-conducive it will need to detail out the aspects such as spectrum management, exit policy, excess 2G spectrum, he added. Significantly, the new policy has omitted a controversial clause in the draft version which said revenue generation will continue to be a secondary objective of the government, and instead states that affordability and availability of effective communication will be core objectives of the policy.     | |
JPC not to ask govt to put on hold decision on 2G entry fee
Economic Times
Despite demands from some of its members, the Joint Parliamentary Committee on telecom will not ask the government to put on hold any decision on TRAI recommendation on 2G spectrum auction till it forms an opinion on the issue. JPC Chairman P C Chacko is learnt to have told members that he is not mandated to ask the government to put on hold any decision on TRAI recommendations on 2G auction pricing. This came in response to a recent JPC meeting, when Congress, BJP, and CPI members had urged Chacko to ask the government to put on hold any decision on enhanced entry fees for 2G spectrum auction.

| Insight | | | | The Evolving Security Paradigm in an increasingly Mobile World (Premium) - View Free SampleAs more and more employees use personal mobile devices to access enterprise networks and applications, there are increasing risks to the security of confidential information through new entrance points for potential attacks. Mobile technology today is taking communications and security to a whole new level. Consumers are increasingly looking to bring their smartphones, tablets and other devices that have transformed their personal lives to work. This means people can work anywhere at any time, creating new efficiencies for businesses -but also new challenges for protecting enterprise data. Rapid adoption of mobile technology will soon make security concerns in the wireless environment at least equal to those in the wired world. While these risks may persuade IT departments to think twice about deploying the latest mobile technologies, the headwind favouring delivery of broader access to applications and emerging cloudbased services underlines the fact that mobile devices are now an essential business productivity tool. |
1G Solution for a 3G World (Premium) - View Free SampleWith the introduction of expensive 3G in 2011 and 4G in 2012 in India, here is an effective application which will help one to stay connected at reasonably less cost. 2011 started with a lot of anticipation around the onset of 3G and recent introduction of 4G--how they would change the mobile landscape. There was a heightened sense of anxiety, and common perception was that the game-changing technology would forever alter the way users used their phones. After all, 3G itself was arriving after a very long wait and tremendous investments into spectrum. Although talking of 4G is too early now, but as far as 3G is concerned, in hindsight, it turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax. What did not happen overnight is the explosive proliferation of the mobile internet. I was fortunate to witness this whole cycle play out in both Egypt and Indonesia, not so long ago, in exactly the same fashion. Of course, 3G means better data speed for existing data users but that literally touches only one in 10 mobile users in India today. The IAMAI report pegs mobile data users at 46 mn, while mobile users are over 600 mn. |
Why Smartphones will make a difference in Advertising (Premium) - View Free SampleA recent study conducted by Google and IPSOS indicates that India will soon be a 'mobile first' nation for communication. The challenge of advertising on mobile platforms is the most over-rated concern in the digital advertising domain in India. While presence of brands on digital media has only been increasing every year, along with spends, mobile advertising garners a rather negligible share in the total advertising pie. As per recent industry estimates, mobile advertising constitutes not more than 1% share of the total ad spends in the Rs 266 crores advertising industry. An obvious reason for this is slow adoption of smartphone and mobile internet in India. As per data released in the third quarter of 2011, the smartphone market in India was not growing over a 6% rate. However, a recent study conducted by Google in association with IPSOS continues to rely heavily on the potential of mobile media, which is arguably the only omnipotent multi-media device in India. |
TRAI Tariff Order aligns but at what cost (Premium) - View Free SampleIn the run-up to the first cable TV digitization deadline of June 30, 2012 for metros, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) latest order specifying tariffs and setting other norms for smooth implementation of the process has stirred up a hornet's nest. While the TRAI order is certainly a good move to streamline matters in the direction of digitization, most industry stakeholders have been busy trying to dissect each clause to see how it impacts their business. Even as the broadcast industry is shocked by the diktat of a uniform, legalized carriage fee structure, Multi System Operators (MSOs) find they have a lot of responsibility on their hands. The consumer, meanwhile, is empowered to pick and pay for channels of his choice. |
