Mobile Rates Set To Fall In India
Increasing competition, subscribers increasing every month, availability of international bandwidth unrestricted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony are some of the factors leading to an even better time for the mobile subscribers, with tariffs expected to come down by 25-30%
At present, the country has the cheapest call charges in the world at around 1 cent per minute.
For the industry, this definitely cannot herald too much of good news. Even though subscribers growth is continuing, this is coming at a time, when GSM operators’ average revenue per user declined by 9.8% to Rs 239 in June from Rs 264 a month ago, while that of CDMA operators’ fell by 12.6% to Rs 139 during the period from Rs 159 recorded in March.
Will 3G be the panacea to boosting revenue for the Indian telecom operators?
