INTRODUCTION
After the globalization of India economy in 1991 the telecommunication sector remained one
of the most happening sectors in India. The recent years witnesses rapid and dramatic changes in
the field of telecommunications. In the last few years more and more companies both foreign,
domestic, come into cellular service, service market and offers large number of services to the
people.
In the year of 1989, the number of cell phone users in India was zero. In the year of
1999 the number of cell phone users has gone up by 13 lakhs. In the year of 2000 the number of
cell phone users has risen by one million. Indian telecom sector added a staggering 227.27
million wireless mobile users in the 12 months between March 2010 and March 2011, while the
overall tele density has increased to 81.82% as of 30 November 2015, and the total numbers of
telephone phone users (mobile & landline) have reached 1009.46 million as of May,2015.Now
currently telephone subscriber (mobile & landline) is 1058.01 million (May 2016).

Jio also known as Reliance Jio and officially as Reliance JioInfoComm Limited (RJIL),[is an
upcoming provider of mobile telephony, broadband services, and digital services in India..
Reliance JioInfocomm Limited (RJIL), a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), India’s
largest private sector company, is the first telecom operator to hold pan India Unified License.
Formerly known as Infotel Broadband Services Limited (IBSL), Jio will provide 4G services
on a pan-India level using LTE technology. The telecom leg of Reliance Industries Limited, it
was incorporated in 2007 and is based in Mumbai, India. It is headquartered in Navi Mumbai.
RJIL is setting up a pan India telecom network to provide to the highly underserviced India
market, reliable (4th generation) high speed internet connectivity, rich communication services
and various digital services on pan India basis in key domains such as education, healthcare,
security, financial services, government citizen interfaces and entertainment. RJIL aims to
provide anytime, anywhere access to innovative and empowering digital content, applications
and services, thereby propelling India into global leadership in digital economy.
RJIL is also deploying an enhanced packet core network to create futuristic high capacity
infrastructure to handle huge demand for data and voice. In addition to high speed data, the 4G
network will provide voice services from / to non-RJIL network.
RJIL holds spectrum in 1800 MHz (across 14 circles) and 2300 MHz (across 22 circles) capable
of offering fourth generation (4G) wireless services. RJIL plans to provide seamless 4G services
using FDD-LTE on 1800 MHz and TDD-LTE on 2300 MHz through an integrated ecosystem.
Reliance Jio is part of the “Bay of Bengal Gateway” Cable System, planned to provide
connectivity between South East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East, and also to Europe,
Africa and to the Far East Asia through interconnections with other existing and newly built
cable systems landing in India, the Middle East and Far East Asia.
14
RJIL’s subsidiary has been awarded with a Facility Based Operator License (“FBO License”) in
Singapore which will allow it to buy, operate and sell undersea and/or terrestrial fiber
connectivity, setup its internet point of presence, offer internet transit and peering services as
well as data and voice roaming services in Singapore.
R-Jio is also in the process of installing hundreds of monopoles, unlike the regular rooftop-
mounted telecom towers typically used by Telco’s, said the company executive quoted above.
Monopoles, or ground-based masts (GBMs), are expected to double up as street lights and
surveillance systems, and provide real-time monitoring of traffic and advertising opportunities.
The company, which plans to be rolled out commercial telecom service operations from January,
is currently in the testing phase for most of its offerings including 4G services, a host of mobile
phone applications and delivery of television content over its fiber optic network.
R-Jio, meanwhile, faces its share of challenges in terms of return on investment and capturing
market share. The company, according to industry analysts, is expected to spend $8-9 billion for
the 4G roll-out. The company will battle for subscribers with leading Telco’s such as Bharti
Airtel Ltd, Vodafone India Pvt Ltd and Idea Cellular Ltd.
The services were beta launched to Jio's partners and employees on 27 December 2015 on the
eve of 83rd birth anniversary of late Dhirubhai Ambani, founder of Reliance Industries.

in day to day operations in business or Ms. Isha Ambani is involved in branding and marketing.
And the key people are Sanjay Mashruwalla (Managing Director), Jyotindra Tacker (Head of
IT).

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani committed an investment of Rs. 2,50,000 crores
on "Digital India" and said he expected the group's initiatives under it will create over 5,00,000
direct and indirect jobs.
"Digital India as company has seen empowers them to fulfil their aspirations. Reliance JIO has
invested over Rs. 2,50,000 crores across the Digital India pillars, “Ambani said, adding: "I
estimate Reliance's 'Digital India' investments will create employment for over 5,00,000 people.
"Ambani said the launch of Digital India initiative was a momentous occasion in an information
age where digitization was changing the way one lives, learns, works and plays. It can transform
the lives of 1.2 billion Indians using the power of digital technology. And as well as "So 80
percent of the 1.3 billion Indians will have high-speed, mobile Internet. And by 2017, company
would cover 90 percent. And by 2018, all of India would be covered by this digital
infrastructure,"

Reliance Jio third-largest telecom by revenue market share
Reliance Jio Info COMM has become India’s third-largest telecom operator by revenue market
share, dislodging Kumar Birla-led Idea Cellular NSE -0.31 % and closing in on Vodafone India
as its aggressive pricing strategy left rivals struggling.
Just 19 months since starting services, Mukesh Ambani-controlled Jio’s revenue market share
widened to almost 20% as of March end, according to financial data put out by the Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
Idea’s RMS slumped to 16.5%, while No. 2 Vodafone India’s share increased to 21%, just a
shade above Jio. Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel took its revenue market share to almost 32%,
helped in part by its intra-circle roaming pact with Tata Teleservices, whose consumer mobility
business the market leader is buying.
Jio’s robust RMS numbers come as Idea and Vodafone India prepare to close their much-awaited
merger this month, creating a Rs 63,000 crore revenue entity with some 430 million subscribers.
Together, Vodafone and Idea will emerge as the market leader with a 37.5% RMS and the
biggest user base, followed by Airtel and Jio. “Jio is already No. 1or No. 2 in 18 circles and has
over 25% AGR market share in 15 circles,” ICICI Securities said.
Jio, which started operations in September 2016 with a nationwide 4G network, reported an over
18% sequential jump in adjusted gross revenue (including national long distance revenue) to Rs
6,300 crore the quarter ended March, while Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea suffered sequential
falls of 5.5%, 4.8% and 8.8% on this score to Rs 10,100 crore, Rs 6,700 crore and Rs 5,200
crore, respectively, ICICI Securities said in a note analyzing the data collated by Trai, a copy of
which was seen by ET.
“Given Jio’s strong and sustained RMS growth, it could easily surpass No. 2 carrier Vodafone
India (independently) on this metric in the first quarter of FY19,” said Naveen Kulkarni, a
telecom analyst at Phillip Capital.
Sanjesh Jain, a telecom research analyst at ICICI Securities, said Jio’s strong revenue share gains
may have been triggered by “Bharti, Vodafone and Idea seeing sequential AGR growth in
merely six, five and two circles, respectively, out of the 22 circles in the March quarter.” AGR
refers to adjusted gross revenue, which is derived from licensed services.
He added that Jio may have benefitted as Bharti, Vodafone India and Idea’s average revenue per
user dipped by over 45% on-year in seven, two and eight circles, respectively, with customers
likely switching to Jio to make outgoing calls, which are free, and using their older carrier
connections to receive incoming calls.
Goldman Sachs said the Trai data showed that “in 16 of the 22 telecom service areas, Jio is now
a top 2 operator” in terms of AGR. Trai data, however, showed that the overall industry’s AGR
shrank 8.2% on-quarter to Rs 31,800 crore.
18
Goldman Sachs attributed the sequential fall in industry AGR during the March quarter to price
cuts in January, reduction in international long-distance termination rates and revenue
consolidation among large players.
Analysts expect the eroding revenue of Jio’s rivals to stabilize in the first quarter of FY19, with
the tariff environment largely stable over the past few months and the rapid conversion of
subscribers to data.
Goldman Sachs said Airtel has the ability to defend its market share and boost profit when the
tariff environment starts improving, given its strong network footprint and balance sheet. The
recent acquisition of Telenor India, it said, “is likely to contribute an additional 1percentage
point” to Bharti’s revenue market share in FY19.
The US brokerage predicts “a 300-400 bps slower revenue growth for Idea vs Bharti over the
next couple of years” owing to the former’s lower capital expenditure and investment in
networks. Brokerage UBS said Bharti, Vodafone, Idea, Jio and the BSNL-MTNL combine
collectively accounted for 98.2% of industry AGR and 91.1% of subscriber market share in the
March quarter, implying that the remaining are fringe carriers.

Jio adds a record 11.8 million users in July, sub base up to 227
million: Trai
Reliance Jio Info COMM added a record number of 11.78 million mobile subscribers for the
month of July, easily outpacing its rivals by a distance, and in the process, cornering nearly half
of the country’s growing broadband market.
With the latest additions, Reliance Jio touched 227 million subscribers at the end of July,
surpassing Vodafone India and Idea CellularNSE -0.31 % individually with 223 million and 220
million respectively, at the end of the month, according to data released by the Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Tuesday. Bharti AirtelNSE 0.06 % ended the month with
nearly 345 million mobile subscribers, adding 313,283 users in July, to Vodafone Idea’s 609,074
and Idea’s 5489.
The data captured the market figures for July, a month before the merger of the British telecom
giant Vodafone’s India operations with the Aditya Birla group company Idea Cellular. The
combined entity now holds the largest market share in terms of subscribers as well as revenue.
The data shows that Jio, which launched its services in September 2016, held a subscriber market
share of 19.62% of the 1.16 billion wireless market, racing ahead of both Vodafone as well as
Idea’s 19.30% and 19.07% independent figures respectively. However, it is still behind Bharti
Airtel’s 29.81% share.
Some 99.4% of Airtel’s subscribers were active, while it was 91.3% for Idea, 92.8% for
Vodafone India and 82.5% for Jio.
In terms of broadband subscribers, Jio held a 49.33% of the total wireline as well as the wireless
market, followed by Bharti’s 20.7%. Vodafone held a 13.86% share of the market and Idea a
9.46% share.
In terms of urban and rural subscribers, the overall tele-density in the country increased from
89.72% at the end of June to 90.44% at the end of July. The urban tele-density increased from
158.16% at the end of June to 159.38% at the end of July, and rural tele-density also increased
from 57.99% at the end of June to 58.45% at the end of July.
The share of urban and rural subscribers in total number of telephone subscribers at the end of
July was 55.86% and 44.14% respectively.
The number of broadband subscribers increased from 447.12 million at the end of June to 460.24
million at the end of July recording a monthly growth rate of 2.93%.
Top five service providers constituted 97.75% market share of the total broadband subscribers in
the country at the end of July. Jio had 227 million subscribers followed by Bharti Airtel’s 95.33
million. Vodafone had 63.79 million for the period while Idea Cellular had 43.52 million
customers and state-run BSNL had 20.18 million subscribers.

NEW DELHI:
Over the next 12 months, Reliance Jio is expected to reach the top position on both subscriber
and service revenue metrics and it expects to surpass Vodafone Idea service revenues in FY 19-
20, according to a report by Bernstein.
But the report also warns that the aggressive push to be number one comes at a heavy cost and
some strategies need to be changed to become profitable in the long run.
"Over the next 12 months, we expect Jio to reach number one on both subscriber and service
revenue metrics. On a service revenue basis, Jio passed Bharti in Q3. We expect they will also
pass Vodafone Idea in FY 19-20," the report said.
"Jio's reported service revenue totalled Rs. 10,380 crores for the quarter, beating Bharti
(Rs.10,060 crore) for the first time. Moreover ... they continue to heavily subsidize Jio Phones...
We expect Jio to take the lead in both service revenue and subscribers in FY20."
The report states that if Jio's "non-standard" depreciation metrics and all the handset subsidies
being booked though Reliance Retail which does not show on Jio's P&L account are taken into
account, then it would show up potential losses at Rs. 15,000 crores.
"The reason we highlight the tremendous expense Reliance is incurring to position Jio as number
one is to make it clear this strategy cannot be maintained. We have always felt that once Jio
reaches its target market share, they will switch their focus to monetization. While we think FY
19/20 is likely too early for this, we would not be surprised to see ARPU start to creep back up
starting FY21. We are currently forecasting ARPU increases of 8.2 per cent in FY21 and 11.2
per cent in FY22," it said.
Last year, the inevitability of Jio's drive to become the number one operator in India helped it to
gain market share. Though from a global perspective this was a major accomplishment, it came
at a very high cost. While detailed numbers have not been disclosed, estimates suggest total
invested capital in Jio has reached Rs. 2.6 lakh crore ($37 billion).
Bernstein expects the recent push of JioPhones has resulted in net handset subsidies, likely
totalling a further Rs. 7,200 crores. The subsidies are carried by Reliance Retail (part of Reliance
Industries) and so are not visible on Jio's profit and loss statement.
Reliance Industries will ultimately want to make a positive return on its investment which will
require a reduction in handset subsidies and a boost in subscriber revenue.
21
Bernstein expects ARPUs (average revenue per user) to eventually start to rise to enable this.
Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea were not being irrational by not following Jio down the subsidy
path, it said.
Bharti and Vodafone both reported losses for the quarter on an underlying basis, whereas Jio
reported a profit, the report said, adding these results were not directly compatible.
Jio has been using a 'non-standard' approach to D&A (using 'unit of production' accounting). "If
we attempt to normalize D&A based on total fixed assets, the quarterly charges would jump
by Rs. 4,700 crore and would result in a quarterly net loss of Rs. 2,250 crore. Moreover, the
highly subsidised JioPhone continues to drive Jio's subscriber acquisition numbers."

HISTORY
In June 2010, Reliance Industries (RIL) bought a 96% stake in Infotel Broadband Services
Limited (IBSL) for Rs 4,800cr. Although unlisted, IBBL was the only firm to win broadband
spectrum in all 22 zones in India in the 4G auction that took place earlier that year. Later
continuing as RIL's telecom subsidiary, Infotel Broadband Services Limited was renamed as
Reliance JioInfo Comm Limited (RJIL) in January 2013.
Agreements:
An agreement with Ascend Telecom for their more than 4,500 towers across India. (June
2014)
An agreement with Tower Vision for their 8,400 towers across India. (May 2014)
An agreement with ATC India for their 11,000 towers across India. (April 2014)
An agreement with Vyom Networks for their 42,000 telecom towers. (March 2014)
Agreement with Bharti Airtel for a comprehensive telecom infrastructure sharing
agreement to share infrastructure created by both parties to avoid duplication of
infrastructure wherever possible. (December 2013)
A key agreement for international data connectivity with Bharti to utilize dedicated fiber
pair of Bharti’s i2i submarine cable that connects India and Singapore. (April 2013)
Agreements with Reliance Communications Limited for sharing of RCOM’s extensive
inter-city and intra-city optic fiber infrastructure of nearly 1,20,000 fiber-pair kilometers
of optic fiber and 500,000 fiber pair kilometers respectively (April 2013 / April 2014),
and 45,000 towers (June 2013).
23
Technology:
Reliance Jio Info COMM is currently laying OFC across the country to offer Fiber to the
home/premises (FTTH). This fiber backbone will also help them to carry huge amount of
data originated from their 4G network as well as public Wi-Fi network.
Reliance Jio is deploying LTE-TDD technology for 2.3 GHz spectrum band, acquired in
2010.
Reliance Jio will deploy LTE-FDD for 1.8 GHz spectrum, which will ultimately be
paved to roll out of LTE-A network aggregation of both technology and both spectrum
band.
At present in different cities of India Reliance Jio offers Wi-Fi services. Most of these
cities are in Gujarat, where Reliance Industries also have one of the largest Petro-
refinery.
Once commercially launched, Jio users can have access to Reliance Communications’
2G & 3G network.
OPERATIONS
In June 2015, Jio announced that it will start its operations all over the country by the end of
year. However, four months later in October 2015, the company's spokesmen sent out a press
release stating that the launch was postponed to the first quarter of the financial year 2016-2017.
Later in July, a PIL filed in the Supreme Court by an NGO called the Centre for Public Interest
Litigation, through Prashant Bhushan, challenged the grant of pan-India license to Jio by the
Government of India. The PIL also alleged that Jio was allowed to provide voice telephony along
with its 4G data service, by paying an additional fees of just 165.8 crore (US$25 million) which
was arbitrary and unreasonable, and contributed to a loss of 2,284.2 crore (US$340 million) to
the exchequer.
The Indian Department of Telecom (DoT), however, refuted all of CAG's claims. In its
statement, DoT explained that the rules for 3G and BWA spectrum didn't restrict BWA winners
24
from providing voice telephony. As a result, the PIL was revoked, and the accusations were
dismissed.
Beta Launch
The 4G services were launched internally to Jio's partners, its staff and their families on 27
December 2015. Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, who is also the brand ambassador of Jio,
kickstarted the launch event which took place in Reliance Corporate Park in Navi Mumbai, along
with celebrities like musician A R Rahman, actors Ranbir Kapoor and Javed Jaffrey, and
filmmaker Hirani. The closed event was witnessed by more than 35000 RIL employees some of
whom were virtually connected from around 1000 locations including Dallas in the US.
The company has launched its 4G broadband services throughout India in the first quarter of
2016 financial year. It was slated to release in December 2015 after some reports said that the
company was waiting to receive final permits from the government. Mukesh Ambani, owner of
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) whose Reliance Jio is the telecom subsidiary, had unveiled
details of Jio's fourth-generation (4G) services on 12 June 2015 at RIL's 41st annual general
meeting. It will offer data and voice services with peripheral services like instant messaging, live
TV, movies on demand, news, streaming music, and a digital payments platform.
The company has a network of more than 250,000 km of fiber optic cables in the country, over
which it will be partnering with local cable operators to get broader connectivity for its
broadband services. With its multi-service operator (MSO) license, Jio will also serve as a TV
channel distributor and will offer television-on-demand on its network.
Pan-India Spectrum
Jio owns spectrum in 800 MHz and 1,800 MHz bands in 10 and 6 circles, respectively, of the
total 22 circles in the country, and also owns pan-India licensed 2,300 MHz spectrum. The
25
spectrum is valid till 2035.Ahead of its digital services launch, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio
entered into a spectrum sharing deal with younger brother Anil Ambani-backed Reliance
Communications. The sharing deal is for 800 MHz band across seven circles other than the 10
circles for which Jio already owns.
Reliance jio’s vision for India is that broadband and digital services will no longer be a luxury
item, Rather convert it into a basic necessity that can be consumed in abundance by consumers
and small businesses. The initiatives are truly aligned with the Government of India's ‘Digital
India’ vision for our nation.

LYF SMARTPHONES
In June 2015, Jio tied up with domestic handset maker Intext to supply 4G handsets enabled with
voice over LTE (VoLTE) feature. Through this, it plans to offer 4G voice calling besides rolling
out high-speed Internet services using a fiber network, in addition to the 4G wireless network. [
However, in October 2015, Jio announced that it would be launching its own mobile handset
brand named LYF.
26
On 25 January 2016, the company launched its Smartphone series starting with Water 1, through
its chain of electronic retail outlets, Retail. Three more handset models have been released so far,
namely Water series, Earth series, and Flame series.

Reliance Jio set – top box
JioTV is said to offer more than 360 channels, at least 50 of which will be in
HD.
Reliance Jio is preparing to enter in to the DTH (Direct to Home) service space, given new
leaked images of its set-top box have started to surface online. The new pictures are quite
different from the ones leaked earlier, which had revealed a round set-top box. Leaked in
February, the images had a Jio-branded remote along with set-top box which had a circular top.
The device, which deviates from the standard rectangular design for set-top boxes, looks
customized for Jio customers.
However, new leaked images suggest Jio might stick with a rectangular design for its set-top box
after all. The pictures show a blue box with Reliance Jio branding on top as well as new set-top
box. The device has a number of ports including a standard cable connector, HDMI, USB, as
well as audio and video output. There’s also an Ethernet port, which will allow users to connect
to a modem to offer broadband.
JioTV is said to offer more than 360 channels, at least 50 of which will be in HD. There will be a
seven-day ‘catch up’ option to . This content is not saved locally, but on Jio servers and pulled in
as per demand. Users will be able to use a voice enabled remote to search by channel, show,
category or even by the names of actors.
48
Just like its data services, Reliance Jio is expected to offer its DTH services at much lower prices
than its rivals. The leaks hint at the fact the services might launch pretty soon in the coming
months, starting with Mumbai. To recall, the company had said that its Jio fiber service will offer
high-speed Internet at up to 1 Gbps speeds. With Jio fiber, users will be able to stream and play
high-definition games with multiple players and buffer 4K videos easily.

Partnerships
Jio shares spectrum with Reliance Communications. The sharing deal is for 800 MHz band
across seven circles other than the 10 circles for which Jio already owns. [26]
In September 2016, Jio signed a pact with BSNL for intra-circle roaming which would enable
users of the operators to use each other's 4G and 2G spectrum in national roaming mode.[27]
In February 2017, Jio announced a partnership with Samsung to work on LTE - Advanced Pro
and 5G.[
By July, 12.55 crore Jio customers had opted for Jio Prime. The last date for registration to Jio
Prime membership was 31 March 2017. This was extended until 15 April 2017 along with an
introduction of a new offer, "Jio Summer Surprise", which gave customers three months of free
services. On 6 April 2017, TRAI advised Jio to withdraw this offer.
CONTROVERSIES
Issue with incumbents
In September 2016, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) summoned Jio and the
country's existing telecom operators like Airtel, Vodafone, and Idea Cellular to meet and discuss
an issue regarding interconnection between the operators. This was a result after Jio complained
to TRAI and Department of Telecom (DoT) about other operators not honoring their commercial
agreements to let Jio use their network resources. The company further added that the operators
are trying to sabotage its entry into the telecom scene. However, DoT dismissed the request and
directed TRAI to help settle the dispute amicably. Moreover, the Cellular Operators Association
of India (COAI) requested TRAI to include all the operators in the discussion instead of the
three.
The incumbent operators had previously approached the country's PMO to reiterate their stance
they "are in no way obliged or in any position to entertain Jio's requests for interconnection
points as they do not have either the network or the financial resources to terminate the latter's
humongous volumes of potentially asymmetric voice traffic." Responding to this, Mukesh
Ambani, owner of Jio, said, "All operators have publicly said last week that they will provide
55
this (interconnect and MNP). So, we are waiting. These are all great companies. They have their
own reputations to protect. I am confident they won't violate the law." Commenting about
number portability, he added, "The number belongs to the consumer. No operator can cause
trouble if they want to change operators."[76] However, on 12 September 2016, Idea Cellular
agreed to allow Jio to use 196 of its interconnection access points.

LITERATURE REVIEW
59
LITERATURE REVIEW
Abhishek Kumar Singh and Malhar Pangrikar (2013) did a study titled “A Study Report, to Find
out Market Potential for 4G Businesses in Pune”. The Report is all about “Study of market
potential for 4G business in pune” and also to know about the customer perceptions and attitudes
towards their current service provider. Satisfaction level of the customers was also judged. The
customer expectations were analyzed thoroughly. Major factors considered in research are: what
are the needs of the companies based on the data services usage, major player in internet
services, and support to customers. The research was conducted on companies mainly from
Industries like IT, Education, Manufacturing and others which are located in Pune city. It is clear
from the survey done that Reliance & Tata are Leading Internet service Provider; they are
providing products like Data Card, Broadband etc. to the corporate end users. Most of the
companies are getting internet speed form 1MBPS-4MBPS. Most of the companies are having
good perception about 4 G and are willing to switch to it from their current service provider.
Speed of 4G is around than 30 to 35 MBPS, is going to boom the Market. Because majority of
the companies are facing Speed problem with their current ISP.
4G spectrum is a research item for next-generation wide-area cellular radio, which focuses on 4G
technologies, 4G networks and 4G systems. 4G technologies shall include three basic areas of
connectivity which are personal area networking (such as Bluetooth), local high-speed access
points on the network such as wireless technologies and cellular connectivity.
At the moment, many companies have established projects for 4G systems development.
4G can provide services for a wide range of speed facility that support global roaming and each
company will be able to interact with internet-based information and available in every part of
country.
In this literature review. The consumer perceptions about 4G services in Pune. The objectives of
the study were (1) to find the most influencing factor in selection of service provider, and (2) to
measure customer perception and satisfaction as regards the 4G service provided. The study on a
60
4G indicated that some problems exist that deserve the attention of the company. The company
needs to bridge the gap between the services promised and 4G services offered. And to conclude,
“Delivering service without measuring the impact on the customer is like driving a car without a
windshield”
.
At 4G, The Company have always sought to enhance value for you as a customer by providing
you the most relevant and easy to use services through innovation and by harnessing the latest
developments in technology. In line with this strategy, constantly introduced 4G innovative
services to suit customer unique needs and wants. These 4G trends in the market and among
customers generate a demand for high speed and more rapidly changing services and also
expectation for a different approach to technology development.
As well as imposing requirements in terms of 4G technology development, trends such as mass
individualization call for a responsive answer to a sharply increasing market demand. Successful
growth and diffusion of 4G services is focusing customer satisfaction on how mobile relates to
4G networks. Accordingly, it is necessary for company to review current frameworks in those
instances where changes might impede the offering of certain aspects .
Consumer perception about 4G much more volatile, much less predictable and increasingly
concerned with instant gratification. The expectation is that in due course this trend towards
individualization will become a more important factor in the emerging markets too, particularly
in every area. In future, 4G services over mobile networks and company need to review current
regulatory frameworks to enhance innovation and competition in the market of these services.
Customer satisfaction is a measure of how 4G services supplied by a company meet customer
expectation. In today’s tough economic climate all companies need to improve efficiency and,
even in midsize firms that usually mean coordinating large quantities of information. However,
technology and thinking has progressed and, many of user nowadays using 4G services.
Customer satisfaction is defined as a customer’s overall evaluation of the performance of an
offering to date. This overall satisfaction has a strong positive effect on customer loyalty
intentions across a wide range of 4G service s.
Many companies have been gaining rising popularity due to the advances in 4G technologies and
the large increase in the number of its users. The companies that expand beyond services and
61
develop a content distribution platform will win customers’ expectation. Companies could not
follow constant rules to be successful in potential markets. There is not a list of actions that lead
companies to more profit or more customer satisfaction. Because 4G services are increasingly
spread-out all-over India. And every customer are preferred these 4G services.
This satisfaction has positive influences on retaining customers among different variety of 4G
services. Satisfaction refers to achieving the things we want. If satisfaction interprets as "not
going wrong" the firm should decrease complaint which by its own is not sufficient. In order to
satisfy customers, company should improve its 4G services. Customers with less expectation are
more satisfied, companies by adding innovative 4G features would easily increase customer
satisfaction. Customer retention is directly influenced by customer satisfaction. Retention is a
major challenge particularly in internet-based services, as customers can easily switch from one
service to another at low cost. Customer satisfaction is the key factor determining how successful
the company will be in competitive market, therefore it is very important to measure it.
To better manage customer satisfaction, company spend millions on effectively tracking the
methods that guarantee customer satisfaction, because the quantitative measurement of customer
satisfaction is a great help for comprehensively measuring the effect of 4G on customer
satisfaction.
Customer satisfaction, as we discussed before, has the most important effect on customer
perception and in order to narrowing down we focus on 4G service as one of the customer
satisfaction’s factors. The aim of the company is to find the most important service dimensions
that affect customer satisfaction.
To have a thorough satisfaction firstly the company is needed to bring satisfied customers which
leads to loyal customers and by preparing all this, good services would be followed which
influenced on Customer satisfaction and make them loyal in future.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
India has a fast-growing mobile services market with excellent potential for the future. With
almost five million subscribers amassed in less than two years of operation, India's growth tempo
has far exceeded that of numerous other markets, such as China and Thailand, which have taken
more than five years to reach the figures India currently holds. The number of mobile phone
subscribers in the country would exceed 50 million by 2010 and cross 300 million by 2016,
according to Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI).
According to recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, Indian Cellular Services Market, such
growth rates can be greatly attributed to the drastically falling price of mobile handsets, with
price playing a fundamental role in Indian subscriber requirements. Subscribers in certain
regions can acquire the handset at almost no cost, thanks to the mass-market stage these
technologies have reached internationally. The Indian consumer can buy a handset for $150 or
less. This should lead to increased subscribership. This market is growing at an extremely fast
pace and so is the competition between the mobile service providers.
With the presence of a number of mobile telephony services providers including market leaders
like Airtel, Reliance, Idea Cellular, BSNL etc. who are providing either of the two network
technologies such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA). In cellular service there are two main competing network
technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA). Understanding the difference between GSM and CDMA will allow the user to
choose the preferable network technology for his needs.
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is a new digital technology developed by the
European community to create a common mobile standard around the world. It helps you
achieve higher sell capacity and better speech quality and one can enjoy crystal clear reception
on ones mobile phone. It automatically solves the problem of eavesdropping on one’s calls.
Before analyzing the telecom licensing framework in India, it is imperative that one must
examine what is a license. License issued by the government is an authority, given to a person
upon certain conditions to do something which would have been illegal or wrongful otherwise.
63
For example, a driver’s license issued by the government, gives the authority to a person to drive
a motor vehicle. There are three main types of license fee which the government charges: (I)
initial license fee, which generally is non-refundable, (ii) annual license fee, and (iii) additional
fee for allocation of spectrum.
Licensing framework has been an integral part of India’s telecommunication law. Under the
Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, section 4 gives power to the government to grant license to any
person to establish, maintain or use a telegraph.
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) describes a communication channel access principle
that employs spread spectrum technology and a special coding scheme (where each transmitter is
assigned a code). It is a spread spectrum signaling, since the modulated coded signal has a much
higher bandwidth than the data being communicated. CDMA is the current name for mobile
technology and is characterized by high capacity and small cell radius. It has been used in many
communication and navigation systems, including the Global Positioning System and the
Omnitracs satellite system for transportation logistics.
Indian mobile telephony market is increasing day by day and there is more to happen with
technological up gradations occurring nearly every day and the ever-increasing demand for easier and
faster connectivity, the mobile telephony market is expected to race ahead.
The National Telecom Policy was announced in 1994 which aimed at improving India's
competitiveness in the global market and provide a base for a rapid growth in exports. This
policy eventually facilitated the emergence of Internet services in India on the back of
established basic telephony communication network. This policy also paved way for the entry
of the private sector in telephone services.
The main objectives of the policy were:
To ensure telecommunication is within the reach of all, that is, to ensure availability
of telephone on demand as early as possible
To achieve universal service covering all villages, that is, enable all people to access
certain basic telecom services at affordable and reasonable prices
64
To ensure world-class telecom services. Remove consumer complaints, resolve
disputes and encourage public interface and provide a wide permissible range of
services to meet the demand at reasonable prices
To ensure that India emerges as a major manufacturing base and major exporter of
telecom equipment
To protect the defense and security interests of the nation.
The policy also announced a series of specific targets to be achieved by 1997 and further
recognized that to achieve these targets the private sector association and investment would be
required to bridge the resource gap.
Thus, to meet the telecom needs of the nation and to achieve international comparable
standards, the sector for manufacture of telecom equipment had been progressively relicensed
and the sub-sector for value-added services was opened up to private investment (July 1992) for
electronic mail, voice mail, data services, audio text services, video text services, video
conferencing, radio paging and cellular mobile telephone. The private sector participation in the
sector was carried out in a phased manner. Initially the private sector was allowed in the value-
added services, and thereafter, it was allowed in the fixed telephone services. Subsequently,
VSAT services were liberalized for private sector participation to provide data services to
closed user groups.
Establishment of TRAI
The entry of private players necessitated independent regulation in the sector; therefore, the
TRAI was established in 1997 to regulate telecom services, for fixation/revision of tariffs, and
also to fulfil the commitments made when India joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in
1995. The establishment of TRAI was a positive step as it separated the regulatory function
from policy-making and operation, which continued to be under the purview of the DoT 2.
The functions allotted to the TRAI included:
a. To recommend the need and timing for introduction of new service provider
b. To protect the interest of customers of telecom services
c. To settle disputes between service providers
d. To recommend the terms and conditions of license to a service provider
65
e. To render advice to the Central government on matters relating to the development of
telecommunication technology and any other matter applicable to the telecommunication
industry in general.
In recognition of the fact that the entry of the private sector, which was envisaged during NTP-
94, was not satisfactory and in response to the concerns of the private operators and investors
about the viability of their business due to non-realization of targeted revenues the government
decided to come up with a new telecom policy. The most important milestone and instrument of
telecom reforms in India is the New Telecom Policy 1999 (NTP 99). The New Telecom Policy,
1999 (NTP-99) was approved on 26th March 1999, to become effective from 1st April
1999.Moreover, convergence of both markets and technologies required realignment of the
industry. To achieve India’s vision of becoming an IT superpower along with developing a
world class telecom infrastructure in the country, there was a need to develop a new telecom
policy framework. Accordingly, the NTP 1999 was framed with the following objectives and
targets:
Availability of affordable and effective communication for citizens was at the core of the
vision and goal of the new telecom policy
Provide a balance between provision of universal service to all uncovered areas,
including rural areas, and the provision of high-level services capable of meeting the
needs of the economy
Encourage development of telecommunication facilities in remote, hilly and tribal areas
of the nation
To facilitate India’s journey to becoming an IT superpower by creating a modern and
efficient telecommunication infrastructure taking into account the convergence of IT,
media, telecom and consumer electronics
Convert PCOs, wherever justified, into public telephone information centers having
multimedia capability such as ISDN services, remote database access, government and
community information systems etc.
To bring about a competitive environment in both urban and rural areas by providing
equal opportunities and level playing field for all players
66
Providing a thrust to build world-class manufacturing capabilities and also strengthen
research and development efforts in the country
Achieve efficiency and transparency in spectrum management
Protect the defense and security interests of the country
Enable Indian telecom companies to become global players.
In line with the above objectives, some of the specific targets of the NTP 1999 were:
Make available, telephone on demand by 2002 and achieve a tele density of 7% by 2005
and 15% by 2010
Encourage development of telecom in rural areas by developing a suitable tariff structure
so that it becomes more affordable and by also making rural communication mandatory
for all fixed service players and thus
o Achieve a rural tele density of 4% by 2010 and provide reliable transmission
o media in all rural areas.
Also, with the government intensifying its rural focus, only BSNL can turn into reality
the next wave of rural telecom penetration.
BSNL is a 100% Central Government entity and employees with BSNL are entitled to get
salaries and perks as decided by Government of India and not by BSNL
67
However, both, MTNL and BSNL are plagued by declining revenues coupled with high
costs. BSNL has massive infrastructure, manpower, systems, and 80 per cent of landlines
and 90 per cent of broadband connections in India are operated by it.
“Vodafone is investing nearly US$ 3 billion over the next two years in India in expanding
its network infrastructure and distribution channel in the country,” as per Vittorio Colao,
CEO, Vodafone Plc.
Tata Teleservices plans to set up nearly 4,000 wi-fi hotspots in nine cities across the
country in the next two years.
Booming sectors
The tide has turned for the telecom sector in India, as growth and profitability has
accelerated in recent times. Tower companies are reaping benefits of a turnaround in the
sector as operators have started investing in networks to boost data penetration.
However, it is in the country’s booming mobile segment in which the major battles are
being fought. Three major private players – Bharti Airtel, Reliance and Vodafone - with a
formidable 54% share of the market between them, lead a large field of mobile operators.
State-owned enterprises –BSNL and MTNL – have also been making their presence felt
with a combined market share of 12%.
A look ahead
According to Craig Wigginton, vice chairman and U.S. Telecommunications leader,
Deloitte &Touché LLP, the big challenge for the telecom industry in 2016 – which also
68
presents a major growth opportunity for the sector – is that consumers are getting
addicted to connectivity and highspeed.
The ongoing expansion of the mobile ecosystem, coupled with demand for high-
bandwidth applications and services such as video and gaming, is keeping pressure on the
industry to increase the availability and quality of broadband connectivity.
What does this mean for players in the sector? Carriers will continue to pursue
technological advancements to handle demand, including offloading some mobile
bandwidth needs to Wi-Fi, which is proving an effective complement to mobile networks.
At the same time, long-term spectrum availability, spectrum efficiency, small cells and
continued backhaul improvements are likely to be a key focus to assure continued mobile
broadband momentum
69
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM
Even though the sector has reflected promising growth, the tele density in India still remains at a
very low level compared with international standards and thus providing tremendous opportunity
for future growth. In the medium-term, the industry is expected to continue to record good
subscriber growth as a result of low penetration levels, heightened competition; a sustained fall
in minimum subscription cost and tariff that increase affordability for lower-income rural users,
expansion of coverage area by mobile operators, and government support through schemes such
as the rural infrastructure roll out funded by subsidies from the Universal Service Obligation
(USO) Fund. The Indian telecom sector offers unprecedented opportunities in various areas, such
as rural telephony, 4G, virtual private network, value-added services, et al. Nonetheless, the lack
of telecom infrastructure in rural areas and falling ARPU of telecom service providers could
inhibit the future growth of the industry
70
Lack of Telecom Infrastructure
Lack of telecom infrastructure in semi-rural and rural areas could be one of the major hindrances
in tapping the huge rural potential market, going forward. The service providers have to incur a
huge initial fixed cost to enter rural service areas. Further, as many rural areas in India lack basic
infrastructure such as road and power, developing telecom infrastructure in these areas involve
greater logistical risks and also extend the time taken to roll out telecom services. The lack of
trained personnel in the rural area to operate and maintain the cellular infrastructure, especially
passive infrastructure such as towers, is also seen as a hurdle for extending telecom services to
the under penetrated rural areas.
Excessive Competition
Another major concern that has come to the forefront in the recent past has been heightened
competitive intensity in the industry that has correspondingly fueled the price war between
industry players. The Indian wireless market is one of the world’s most competitive markets,
with 12 operators across 23 wireless ‘circles’ and 6 to 8 competing operators in each circle. The
auction of new 4G licenses and the introduction of mobile number portability (MNP) are likely
to heat up competition in the industry, going forward.
71
Spectrum is the most important resource that is required for providing mobile services. Given
that spectrum is a finite resource, the availability of the same would be inversely proportional to
the number of operators. Thus, larger the number of service providers smaller will be the amount
of spectrum available to each of them.
Scarcity of spectrum leads to higher capex on deployment of mobile networks for the operators
as they need more cell sites to improve service quality. Further the growing usage of spectrum
and the resultant scarcity may lead to re-use of spectrum and increase chances of congestion in
networks leading to constraints on service quality.
Evidently, the competition in the industry is expected to intensify further with the entry of new
players, both domestic as well as foreign players. With the competitive intensity of the industry
already at such high levels new operators might find it difficult to gather significant share in
Indian telecom market. While the new players may benefit from a faster network rollout through
tower sharing, they will face challenges in terms of high subscriber acquisition costs and lower
ARPU customers.
Spectrum Allocation
4G Spectrum availability is one of the major concerns for the industry. Lack of adequate
spectrum which is the most integral part of the mobile telephony sector could hamper its growth
severely. However, the spectrum allotment has been the most controversial issues in the Indian
telecom sector.
The smooth process of scheduled 4G spectrum allocation is likely to be one of the key factors
affecting the industry dynamics, going forward. Given the highly-competitive nature of the
Indian telecom industry on one hand, and limited licenses in the 4G network on the other, the
72
risk of excessive biding by the service providers has increased. Irrational bidding, especially in
some circles, might render 4G services financially-unviable. Further, there exists a risk of delay
in allotment of proposed spectrum to the service providers who have successfully bid for the 4G
spectrum

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN
The purpose of the methodology is to design the research procedure. This includes the overall
design, the sampling procedure, the data collection method and analysis procedure.
Marketing research is the systematic gathering recoding and analyzing of data about problem
retaining to the marketing of goods and services.
The essential purpose of marketing research is to provide information, which will facilitate the
identification of an opportunity of problem situation and to assist manager in arriving at the best
possible decisions when such situations are encountered.
Basically, there are two types of researches, which according to their applicability, strength,
weaknesses, and requirements used before selecting proper type of research, their suitability
must be seen with respect to a specific problem two general types of researches are exploratory
and conclusive.
Sample Size
Sample size refers to the numbers of respondent’s researcher have selected for the survey.
I have selected 30 sample units from market and individual customers.
Sampling Technique
The sample design provides information on the target information and final sample sizes. I
used conveyed convenient sampling surveyed in research.
Sampling Area:
While conducting sample, I went many places of Delhi NCR.
75
Data collection tool
I have used Questionnaire, as the research instrument to conduct the market survey. The
questionnaire consisted closed ended questions designed in such a way that it should gather
maximum information possible.
The questionnaire was a combination of 15 questions. If choices are given it is easier for the
respondent to respond from the choices rather, they think and reply also it takes lesser time.
Because the keep on responding and one has tick mark the right choice accordingly.
Data was collected through two sources:
Primary Source: Primary data was collected directly from the customers through a questionnaire.
Secondary Source: The secondary source was the company website and my colleagues.
Method of sampling
Convenient sampling is used to do sampling as all the customers in the sites are Surveyed.
Data Analysis
Data analysis was done mainly from the data collected through the customers. The data
Collected from secondary sources is also used to analyse on one particular parameter.
Qualitative analysis was done on the data collected from the primary as well as secondary
Sources.

98
LIMITATIONS
1. The first problem I faced is in getting the co-operation of the customers. Many of the
respondents I approached did not agree to the need and utility of the project and hence did not
agree to provide me with information.
2. The behavior of the customer is unpredictable which may result in the lacking of accuracy in the
data.
3. As the sample size of the survey was so small and comprise of only 30 customers, the results
may have some prone to errors.
