BELL’S TELEPHONE Alexander Graham Bell, keenly interested in the education of deaf people, invented the microphone and in 1876 his "electrical speech machine," ie today’s telephone. Bell set up the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut in By 1884, long distance connections were made between Boston, Massachusetts and New York City. Since his death in 1922, the telecommunication industry has undergone an amazing revolution. Today, non-hearing people are able to use a special display telephone to communicate. Bell's "electrical speech machine" paved the way for the Information Superhighway. Fiber Optics are improving the quality and speed of data transmission.

Indian Telecom World’s fastest Growing Telecom Market – Million plus subscriber addition per month Second largest in the world after China 494 Mn. subscribers, 456 wireless 281 state-of-the art Networks (GSM+CDMA) 24 National Long Distance & 19 ILD Licensees Lowest tariff but highest profitability. Lowest Call Rates in the World India ranks highest in Mobile monthly Minutes of Usages per subscriber in Asia Pacific Region and second to USA in the world….500 minutes per month Innovative approach of doing business at lowest operation costs. Innovative value added concepts…missed calls, rural applications, lowest prepaid charge

CONTINUED WIRELESS GROWTH EXPECTED DUE TO Booming economy, rising income, increasing available disposable surplus Continued big demand, rural potential Introduction of Number Portability by mid 2009 New Operators bringing in competition, spread and cheaper tariffs Introduction of 3G, Wimax technologies Operators allowed intra service roaming Operators scouting cheaper handsets eg. Spice with IDH Media Tek, Taiwan for $15 handest. Also no screen sets being considered.

Opportunities Ahead World’s second largest market after China, growing highest per month. 3G & Broadband wireless Auctions to start shortly MVNO to be allowed shortly ISPs, NLD, ILD licences available FDI 74% in operations and 100% fro manufacturing Rural Telecom, Broadband, VAS market New Innovative services, Mobile payments, location based services

Telecom challenges worldwide Health and environmental concerns resulting in several law suits, myths and alarms. Consumer concerns on quality, tariff and after sale service issues. Use of telecom network by terrorists, ant social activities Technology misuse in all sorts of crime ranging from credit card fraud to data theft to simple defamation. Regulatory means for this and also to avoid unsecured wireless networks. Increasing awareness of restrictions sought for use of mobiles in schools, public areas, while driving, offices etc. For ex. New York banning cell phones in schools and Indian Parliament Committee examining need for reasonable restrictions in use of mobile.

Technology Battles Telecom is characterized by Hype and Technology debates. At any given time there must be a live technology debate in telecom era. The question for network operators is no longer which technology is best--WiMAX or LTE--but which application will compel consumers and enterprises to upgrade to 4G. Will it be video? Or will it just be more bandwidth for the always-on, always-available wireless broadband connection that consumers have come to expect?

Hype v/s reality Internet speed….India Govt. says 256 Kbps, vendors talk of 2 Mbps….as per TRAI no body even gets 256 Kbps. We hear faster speed…but what and under what conditions…no body declares There is no one in the world who knows for sure where we are heading or how we will get there. Hype: LTE will provide about 50 Mbps data services. Fact: Only in a lab where there is a 20 MHz wide LTE system and there is only one user.

New Innovations costing others and now self? Almost every week a new application is announced which also aims to take additional revenue from existing others. And slowly it has started affecting the industry itself. Take example of Mobile VOIP Mobile VoIP is moving beyond its initial function as a new mechanism to get inexpensive international/local calls. MVNOs and 3G operators without legacy networks using Mobile VoIP to more cost effectively add voice to data offerings. While Mobile VoIP still poses a direct threat to operator voice revenue, it also represents a dynamic new capability that promises numerous applications. Skype and Vonage have influenced users to think of voice as a data application. As user habits are being shaped by rich on-line communication experiences, mobile carriers control over devices and data applications is waning.

Security Threats The speed with which criminals are capitalizing on world events, growing collaboration among cybercriminals and a growing threat from disgruntled former employees. Less than 24 hours after the news of Michael Jackson’s death first broke, spammers had sent more than 5 billion spam s, reaching a peak of more than 5% of global spam The creators of the Conficker worm, which infected an estimated 9 million computers starting late last year, had established an agreement with the makers of the spambot, Waledac, to help monetize each other’s efforts in a partnership of product and distribution.Conficker worm RIM makers of blackberry says UAE Etisalat issued update during July, 2009 for increasing performance was actually spay ware. It could allow unauthorized access to private information and s and it reduces drastically battery life.

SIM Card Security Scheme Security Accreditation Scheme (SAS), the global programme voluntarily managed by the GSM Association. Under this certification there are 20 SIM card manufacturers globally accredited by GSMA. There are six are from China. Yet there is only one SAS-compliant manufacturer

We talk of Numbers & $ ? We always listen to big numbers like "12 operators committing deployments in 2010" and "$1 billion R&D investment required to build LTE products" and more are making frequent headlines. Viewing these numbers in isolation provides only a partial and one-dimensional view of the issues facing the industry and what this means.

We talk of Speed in Telecom? JOHANNESBURG South Africa 11-month-old pigeon took one hour and eight minutes to fly the 50 miles from Unlimited IT's offices near Pietermaritzburg to the coastal city of Durban with a data card strapped to its leg. Including downloading, the transfer took two hours, six minutes and 57 seconds — the time it took for only four percent of the data to be transferred using a line provided by Telkom.
