INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC
INTRODUCTION TO TELECOM
Ever since the evolution of man on this earth, he wanted to
communicate with his fellow
human being. In that era, he used to communicate through signs
and symbols. Gradually
with time, he started using words and today it is through
mobiles, e-mails, fax etc through
which one communicates from one place to another.
The word Telecom (which is an abbreviated version of '
telecommunication) in real
sense refers to the Interaction & transfer of information
between two distant points in
space. This meaning however, has been subjected to modifications
in accordance with
further innovations made be the Telecom Industry.
SCENARIO OF INDIAN TELECOM INDUSTRY IN INDIA
In 1880, two telephone companies namely The Oriental Telephone
Company Limited
and The Anglo-Indian Telephone Company Limited approached the
Government of
India with the objective of establishing Telephone Exchanges
across the country. Initially,
the Government denied the permission as it wanted to exercise
its monopoly power over
the promising industry once it emerged. By the following year,
it changed its decision and
finally on 28th January, 1882, license was granted to The
Oriental Telephone Company
Limited of England for opening telephone exchanges at Kolkata,
Mumbai, Chennai and
Ahmadabad.
CHAPTER ONE
-
2
The opening of exchanges was followed by further innovations and
improvements in all
sections of the telecom industry. However, while telephones were
introduced in the major
towns and cities across the country during the British period,
total number of telephones
in India in 1948 were merely 80,000.The growth was negligible
even after independence
and the telephone was used as a status symbol by the rich
despite being an extremely
essential device of public utility. This sluggish rate of growth
continued till 1991 when
the number of telephones was 5.07 million.
The period post 1975 saw resurgence in the India Telecom Market
by virtue of a series of
fruitful decisions initiated by the Government which
included:
The separation of Department of Telecom (DOT) From Post and
Telegraph (P&T) in
1975.
The formation of Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) out of
(DOT) to provide
telecom services exclusively to Delhi and Mumbai.
In the 1990s, the telecom sector was opened up by the Government
for private investment
as a part of Liberalization-Privatization-Globalization
Policy.
On 1/oct/2000, the Government corporative its operations wing
under the name of
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
(BSNL).
The Indian telecom industry is going through phenomenal growth.
With 100 million
installed mobile subscribers, adding four million new
subscribers every month, and the
cheapest mobile rates in the world at two cents per minute, it
is not surprising that all the
telecom vendors are vying for a piece of this action. Major new
trends unseen in previous
markets have emerged during the last five years.
-

Start-ups and established vendors involved in the telecoms eco-
system need to take heed
and develop appropriate strategies in order to take advantage of
this new high-growth
opportunity.
The telecommunications industry is at the forefront of the
information age-delivering
voice, data, graphics and video at ever increasing speeds and in
an increasing number of
ways. Whereas wire line telephone communication was once the
primary service of the
industry, wireless communication services and cable and
satellite program distribution
make up an increasing share of the industry. During the late
1990s, the
telecommunications industry experienced very rapid growth and
massive investment in
transmission capacity. Eventually this caused supply to
significantly exceed demand,
resulting in much lower prices for transmission capacity. The
excess capacity and
additional competition led to either declining revenues or
slowing revenue growth, which
has led to consolidation within the industry, as many companies
merged or left the
industry.
The largest sector of the telecommunications industry continues
to be made up of wired
telecommunications carriers. Establishments in this sector
mainly provide telephone
service via wires and cables that connect customers premises to
central offices
maintained by telecommunications companies. The central offices
contain switching
equipment that routes content to its final destination or to
another switching center that
determines the most efficient route for the content to take.
While voice used to be the
main type of data transmitted over the wires, wired
telecommunications service now
includes the transmission of all types of graphic, video, and
electronic data mainly over
the Internet.
-

The telecommunications industry offers steady, year-round
employment.
The business environment for Indias telecommunications industry
is excellent. The
government policies have encouraged the growth, increased
competition and high levels
of foreign direct investment (up to 74% foreign investment is
now allowed). The Indian
governments goal is to provide an environment where service
companies, handset
manufacturers and network companies will invest in India and use
India for research and
development work (R&D).
The favorable business environment has attracted a number of
foreign multinational firms
such as Hutchison, Vodafone, Nokia and Malaysia Telecom. In my
opinion the real edge
for India will be the R&D facilities being setup there which
can provide innovation for
next generation technologies - not only for India but for
everywhere else as well.
Indian Telecom sector, like any other industrial sector in the
country, has gone through
many phases of growth and diversification. Starting from
telegraphic and telephonic
systems in the 19th century, the field of telephonic
communication has now expanded to
make use of advanced technologies like GSM, CDMA, and WLL to the
great 3G
Technology in mobile phones. Day by day, both the Public Players
and the Private
Players are putting in their resources and efforts to improve
the telecommunication
technology so as to give the maximum to their customers.
The telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the
world meeting up with
global standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is
currently slated to an estimated
contribution of nearly 1% to Indias GDP.

SCOPE OF TELECOM INDUSTRY
The telecom industry is growing at a great pace and the growth
rate is expected to double
with every passing year. There are many new developments in the
telecomm sector,
including the ingress of 3G technology that the Indian market is
witnessing
at present. Public and Private Players MTNL, BSNL, VSNL are the
major Public Players,
whereas Airtel, Idea, Hutch, Tata, Reliance, BPL are the leading
Private Players in the
country. Some of them are entering foreign markets as well.
OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIA
In the past 3 years has been surveyed by Indian Ministry of
Communications and
Information Technology in New Delhi very recently. The telecom
sector is one of the
leading contributors to India's flourishing economy. According
to the report presented by
taking into account the statement of Indian Ministry of
Communications and Information
Technology, the telecom opportunities in India has been growing
by 20 to 40 % every
year since past 3 years.
The telecom services in India have been recognized as a
world-class tool for the socio-
economic development in India. India is known to rank fourth in
the telecom industry in
Asia after China, Japan, and South Korea and the telecom network
in India is known to
stand in the eighth position across the globe and second among
the emerging economies.
The world average percentage for the telecom industry as against
the Indian average is
7.5 times while the Asian average against the same was 4.5
times. The current market
range of the telecommunication industry in India has been
estimated to USD 8 billion and
this is expected to undergo an accretion by the end of 2012.
-

The growth witnessed by the telecom market in India has
increased the number of
opportunities for the industry and this has been fueled by the
growing mobile sector,
which has attained the consumer level of 10 million by the end
of December 2002 that
was almost 100 percent in the year. Telecommunication Sector
Opportunities in India
assures a transparent, safe, and secured ambiance for the
telecom market. Around 300
million population of highly consumable middle-class status that
is advantageous for the
industry surrounds the telecom sector in India. This is because,
in some of the Indian that
possess land line telephones can be substituted by mobile phones
that is very unlike the
developed countries. Therefore, it adds up to the growth in
mobile sector in Indian
telecom industry.
Few more Telecommunication Sector Opportunities in India include
introduction of
Internet telephony services, privatization of VSNL, and
introduction of a number of
international long distance services sector. The opportunities
in the Indian telecom sector
is increasing at a massive pace with the introduction of newer
and innovative schemes in
various sectors and at present the telecom sector in India is
claimed to be one of the major
contributors in India's flourishing economy.
Public Players have more than 60% of the market share

COMPANY PROFILE
FOUNDER OF COMPANY
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their
countrys economic
fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani.
Fewer still have left
behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of
describing the true
genius of Dhirubhai: the corporate visionary, the unmatched
strategist, the proud patriot,
the leader of men, the architect of Indias capital markets, the
champion of shareholder
interest. But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that
of Indias greatest wealth
creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial
scratch, Indias largest
private sector enterprise.
Reliance Communications is the outcome of the late visionary
Dhirubhai Ambani's
(1932-2002) dream to herald a digital revolution in India by
bringing affordable means of
information and communication to the doorsteps of India's vast
population.
CHAPTER TWO
-
31
"Make the tools of communications available to people at an
affordable cost, they will
overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility",
Dhirubhai Ambani charted out
the mission for Reliance Communications in late 1999. He saw in
the potential of
information and communication technology an once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for India to
leapfrog over its historical legacy of backwardness and
underdevelopment.
Reliance Communications is Indias largest information and
communications service
provider with over 30 million subscribers. The company is the
realization of our
founders dream of bringing about a digital revolution that will
provide every Indian with
affordable means of communication and a ready access to
information.
The flagship company of the Reliance ADA Group, Reliance
Communications began
operations in 1999 and has over 30 million subscribers today. It
offers a complete range
of integrated telecom services. These include mobile and fixed
line telephony, broadband,
national and international long distance services, data services
and a wide range of value
added services and applications aimed at enhancing the
productivity of enterprises and
individuals.
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a
seed capital of barely
US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half
decades, he converted this
fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossusan
achievement which earned
Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever
Indian private company to
do so.
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of Indias capital
markets. In 1977, when
Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the
Indian stock market was a place
patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a
handful of stocks.

Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of
first-time retail investors
to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their
hard-earned money in the
Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their
trust, substantial return on
their investments. It was to be the start of one of great
stories of mutual respect and
reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.

BUSINESS
Reliance Communications will offer a complete range of telecom
services, covering
mobile and fixed line telephony including broadband, national
and international long
distance services, data services and a wide range of value added
services and applications
that will enhance productivity of enterprises and individuals.
Reliance India Mobile, the
first of Reliance Communications' initiatives was launched on
December 28, 2002, the
70th birthday of the Reliance group founder, Shri. Dhirubhai H.
Ambani.
This marks the beginning of Reliance's dream of ushering in a
digital revolution in India
by becoming a major catalyst in improving quality of life and
changing the face of India.
It aims to achieve this by putting the power of information and
communication in the
hands of the people of India at affordable costs.

traditional value chain to
develop and deploy telecom solutions for India's farmers,

NETWORK
Telecommunication networks are the infrastructure for
provisioning Communications
services. All businesses today are dependent on telecom to
continue their day-to-day
operations. The range and quality of services that can be
provisioned is determined by the
quality of the network deployed.
The Reliance Communications network consists of 60,000
kilometers of optical fiber
cables spanning the length and breadth of India. These cables
can carry thousands of
billions of bits per second and can instantly connect one part
of the country with another.
This physical network and its associated infrastructure will
cover over 600 cities and
-
37
towns in 18 of the country's 21 circles, 229 of the nations 323
Long Distance Charging
Areas (LDCAs) and broadband connectivity to over 190 cities.
This infrastructure will be
backed by state-of-the-art information management systems and a
customer-focused
organization.
An interesting aspect of the network is the manner in which
these fibers are
interconnected and deployed. Reliance's architecture is so
fault-tolerant that the chances
of failure are virtually nil.
Reliance's ring and mesh architecture topology is the most
expensive component to
implement, but assures the highest quality of uninterrupted
service, even in the event of
failure or breakage in any segment of the network. Reliance has
77 such rings across the
country with at least three alternative paths available in
metros. Connected on this
topology, the service has virtually no chance of disruption in
quality performance.
Reliance's objective is to create value for our customers.
Reliance will innovate
ceaselessly so that state-of-the-art technology can be leveraged
to create products and
services that are affordable.
Access networks determine the services that can finally be
delivered to customer. Our
network has wire line access technologies based on fiber as well
as copper. Fiber in the
access network makes broadband services easy to deploy. The
wireless access network
deployed for CDMA 1X is spectrum efficient and provides better
quality of voice than
other networks and higher data rates. CDMA 1X also provides an
up gradation path to
future enhancements.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Organizations, like individuals, depend for their survival,
sustenance and growth on the
support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an
integral part, and must pay
back this generosity in every way they can...
This ethical standpoint, derived from the vision of our founder,
lies at the heart of the
CSR philosophy of the Reliance ADA Group.
While we strongly believe that our primary obligation or duty as
corporate entities is to
our shareholders we are just as mindful of the fact that this
imperative does not exist in
isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which we have
with our entire body of
stakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business
partners, eco-system,
local communities, and society at large.
We evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice
from the point of view of
diverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimize
risk and to pro-actively
address long-term social, economic and environmental costs and
concerns.
For us, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of
charity or that one-time
token financial contribution to the local school, hospital or
environmental NGO. It is an
ongoing year-round commitment, which is integrated into the very
core of our business
objectives and strategy.
Because we believe that there is no contradiction between doing
well and doing right.
Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.

RELIANCE BIG ENTERTAINMENT
India is standing on the threshold of an experience and
entertainment economy. It is at the
cross roads of an exciting phase that will shape its cultural
and social framework forever.
Reliance Big Entertainment has evolved out of the groups vision
of meeting young
India's aspirations and assuming a leadership position in
communications, media and
entertainment. Reliance Big Entertainment is geared to create a
significant presence in
businesses across various vectors of content, internet,
broadcast and retail services and
platforms for distribution. The company strives to create
converged services and
platforms for masses to access innovative, cutting-edge content.
Key content initiatives
include production and strategic collaboration in areas such as
gaming, movies,
animation, music, broadcast, DTH and user-generated content,
amongst others.
The Reliance ADA Group and the principals of Dreamworks director
Steven Spielberg
and CEO Stacey Snider have inked a deal to form a $1.2 billion
studio, reports WSJ. Of
this amount, the ADA Group will invest $500 million in equity,
and $700 million in
debt through JP Morgan Chase. The ADA Group, according to the
Hollywood Reporter
(THR), will have a 50 percent stake in the deal.
-
67
The deal has been struck through Reliance Entertainment,
according to Business
Standard. In 2005, Reliance ADAG had acquired 51 percent stake
in Adlabs Films, which
produces films, and also owns multiplex theatres. Last year,
they acquired Pune based
animation company Anirights, which has been rebranded as BIG
Animation.
The studio will produce around six films a year. Dreamworks
reportedly intends to strike
a deal with Time Warner for HBO, and the films may be
distributed by Universal
Pictures. There are, however, expected to be a few teething
troubles: Dreamworks was
sold to Viacom in 2006, and Spielberg and Snider have had
disagreements with
Paramount Pictures. Dreamworks is expected to negotiate for
rights to keep one or more
projects that they were working on with Paramount, for the new
company. That, it is
expected, will come at a price. There are around 150 Dreamworks
executives currently
with Paramount, and while David Geffer, Spielberg and Snider had
exit clauses, the rest
will need Paramounts permission.

plans to add a further
100 screens over the next year.
Commenting on the development, Anil Ambani, CEO, Reliance
MediaWorks Ltd. said,
"Hitting the historic milestone of 500 BIG Cinemas screens
worldwide is hugely
significant. This expansion underscores our attempts to build
scale, quality, innovation
and pioneering formats which improve the movie going experience
for audiences the
world over. There is a great opportunity in exhibition
infrastructure worldwide and while
domestic expansion continues to be an area of thrust for us, we
are also fully committed
to expanding our global footprint.

Reliance's oil and gas discovery
In 2002, Reliance found natural gas in the Krishna Godavari
basin off the coast of Andhra
Pradesh near Vishakhapatnam. It was the largest discovery of
natural gas in world in
financial year 2002-2003. On 2 April 2009, Reliance Industries
(RIL) commenced natural
gas production from its D-6 block in the Krishna-Godavari (KG)
basin.
The gas reserve is 7 trillion cubic feet in size. Equivalent to
1.2 billion barrels (165
million tones) of crude oil, but only 5 trillion cubic feet are
extractable.
On 2008 Oct 8, Anil Ambani's Reliance Natural Resources took
Reliance Industries to the
Bombay High Court to uphold a memorandum of understanding that
said RIL will supply
the natural gas at $2.34 per million British thermal units to
Anil Ambani.
Reliance Retail
Reliance Retail is the retail business wing of the Reliance
business. Many brands like
Reliance Fresh, Reliance Footprint, Reliance Time Out, Reliance
Digital, Reliance
Wellness, Reliance Trendz, Reliance Autozone, Reliance Super,
Reliance Mart, Reliance

brand.

Environmental Record
Reliance Industry is the worlds largest polyester producer and
as a result one of the
largest producers of polyester waste in the world. In order to
deal with this large amount of
waste they had to create a way to recycle the waste. They
operate the largest polyester
recycling center that uses the polyester waste as a filling and
stuffing. They use this
process to develop a strong recycling process which won them a
reward in the Team
Excellence competition.
Reliance Industries backed a conference on environmental
awareness in New Delhi in
2006. The conference was run by the Asia Pacific Jurist
Association in partnership with
the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India and
the Maharashtra Pollution
Control Board. The conference was to help bring about new ideas
and articles on various
aspects of environmental protection in the region. Maharashtra
Pollution Control Board
invited various industries complied with the pollution control
norms to take active part in
the conference and to support as a sponsor. The conference
proved effective as a way to
promote environmental concern in the area.

PRODUCTS & BRANDS BY RELIANCE IND. LTD.
The Company expanded into textiles in 1975. Since its initial
public offering in 1977, the
Company has expanded rapidly and integrated backwards into other
industry sectors,
most notably the production of petrochemicals and the refining
of crude oil.
The Company from time to time seeks to further diversify into
other industries. The
Company now has operations that span from the exploration and
production of oil and gas
to the manufacture of petroleum products, polyester products,
polyester intermediates,
plastics, polymer intermediates, chemicals and synthetic
textiles and fabrics.
The Company's major products and brands, from oil and gas to
textiles are tightly
integrated and benefit from synergies across the Company.
Central to the Company's
operations is its vertical backward integration strategy; raw
materials such as PTA, MEG,
ethylene, propylene and normal paraffin that were previously
imported at a higher cost
and subject to import duties are now sourced from within the
Company. This has had a
positive effect on the Company's operating margins and interest
costs and decreased the
Company's exposure to the cyclicality of markets and raw
material prices. The Company
believes that this strategy is also important in maintaining a
domestic market leadership
position in its major product lines and in providing a
competitive advantage.
The Company's operations can be classified into four segments
namely:
Petroleum Refining and Marketing business
Petrochemicals business
Oil and Gas Exploration & Production business
Others
-

The Company has the largest refining capacity at any single
location.
The Company is:
Largest producer of Polyester Fibre and Yarn
4th largest producer of Paraxylene (PX)
5th largest producer of Polypropylene (PP)
7th largest producer of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and
Mono Ethylene
Glycol (MEG)
