i fully agree with AIRTEL, as 90% of total indian mobile user are prepaid, airtel have 93%. marginally postpaid dosn't afect total revenue with just 50% more ARPU than prepaid. means prepaid arpu is appox 185, and postpaid is appox 325 so calculate 93% subsiber giving Rs185 and 7% gives 325. apart frm tht postpaid expect high service level, like 15days margin for bill payment, chq drop box near to doorstep, also CUG and above that if paid in csh dealer need more margin 8-9% that prepaid recharge voucher of just 2-3%. Also their is chance of new customer for defualting in bills. So post will continue only on those aeas where their is profitable margin/metro and tier I cities only

With such poor stategy how can virgin gain 5omillion subsriber. Bussiness-standard Mumbai May 08, 2009, 0:17 IST year ago, Virgin Mobile, the Indian arm of UK-based industrialist Richard Branson’s aviation and communication group, entered India as a franchisee of Tata Teleservices. In a first, Virgin designs, markets and services Tata’s offerings for the youth. Hit by the recent regulatory changes in telecommunications, M A Madhusudan, India head, talks to I****a Russell about the reduction in termination charges and the road ahead for the company, now that it has completed a year in the country. Edited excerpts: How was the first year? We don’t reveal our subscriber base because there will be double counting of figures since they’re already included in Tata Teleservices’ numbers; every customer we bring in is counted as a Tata customer. However, our subscriber base is definitely more than a million. What is the addressable market for you? Of the total telecom market of approximately 300 million, 45 per cent is the existing youth segment or existing user base, plus there are 50 million more that are expected to join this segment in the next three years including this year. However, we are focused only on the urban youth. So, effectively it is 17-18 per cent of the entire market. At present, 70 per cent of our subscribers are existing users of mobiles. this means less than 1million possibly 0.8million only You came with the offer of paying 10 paise a minute for incoming calls. Now that the regulator has reduced termination charges, how will you cope? It has definitely affected our margins. However, the effect is not much, since our outgoing and incoming is almost equal. So if my 30 paise have gone down, my outflow has increased by the same amount. Our overall calls were initially more towards incoming tariff offering, since typically we have kids and college goers on our profile, people who give missed calls for other people to call back. But now it is neutralised. Everyone is focusing on the youth. We won’t diversify and dilute the property of the brand. Even after a lot of brands floating in the market, we have 87 per cent recall in a span of one year, and some of the brands don’t even figure in the youth segment. So despite all other operators in the market we are being seen as a youth brand. We don’t have any ambitions of dominating the market, we started this venture only to address a particular segment, which is not being addressed by one of the stakeholders. and this is future of india telecom biz, soon airtel rcom will come out with brands that focus only perticular segment, like blackberry . Now that MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) are allowed, would you consider a plunge? We are not tempted, given the way MVNOs are being implemented in India. With three more operators coming in, there will not be enough space for an MVNO to try for an urban market. How can virgin decide future for upcoming MVNO???? How much competition do you foresee in the urban markets? Any new entrant will have to make a lot of investments in infrastructure. We are working on an existing infrastructure, only adding to it. We have already found economies of scale that normally a new entrant would find hard to achieve. We will be able to compete with any new brand that comes into the market. Tata is entering GSM. Will you come along? What about 3G? Our partnership with TTSL is not technology-dependent, it is only a brand. So we have the opportunity to go for GSM. They will take time to establish their GSM network so we have time to take decisions. It definitely opens up much larger options. We would definitely be excited about 3G. Whenever it comes, we would be ready with our offering. We will not bid individually for 3G. Do you have plans of getting into other forms of data connection? We’ve just made an entry into the data space with USB dongles and data cards. We will not make much hype about this. We will go through our normal channel; it’s an add-on product. We want to provide a complete package to the consumers to cater to all their needs, this is not specific to the youth market. Where is data card? why did u focused on other segment and diverting ur biz plans to attract youths

The Hindu Business Line NEW DELHI: Diversified business house Videocon Group is making an ambitious foray into the direct-to-home services with plans to garner one crore subscribers in the next six years. The group, which made an announcement of Rs 1,000 crore for the DTH venture earlier, made a soft launch of its 'Videocon D2H' services last evening in Macau in front of its 2,500 dealers, who where specially flown in there. “The full commercial roll-out will start from May 1. In the first year, we are looking at 15 lakh subscribers and add similar number every year. The target is to have one crore subscribers in six years,'' Videocon Group Chairman Mr Venugopal Dhoot told P TI. He said the company is set for a mega roll out of its DTH services as the 2,500 dealers will have around 15,000 showroom across the country. “That gives us an advantage. Besides, we will also be offering TVs with in-built set-top boxes (STBs), which no one in the market offers,'' Dhoot said. He said over 40 engineers of the group spent nearly two years in developing the TV sets with in-built STBs. The DTH services will leverage on Videocon's brand equity. “We had also unveiled a new brand logo for the group, which will be common for DTH, mobile services and the consumer durables segment,'' he said. – PTI

loop mobile site not updated http://www.loopmobile.in/index.htm Loop Telecom did a soft launch of its services in Chennai and Orissa circles on Monday. Among the new telecom operators who were given licences in the recent past, Loop is the second one to launch in Chennai circle after MTS, a CDMA service provider jointly promoted by Shyam Telecom and Russia’s Sistema. Loop Telecom’s parent company, Loop Mobile, has presence in the Mumbai circle with around 21.6 lakh subscribers as on March 31, as per data provided by Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), an association of GSM service providers in India. Loop Telecom will offer services in Chennai and other circles under the same brand as that in Mumbai viz “Loop Mobile.” According to a media release issued by the company, it will launch in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala by mid-June. It’s not known as to how Loop is funding its national roll-out when its ownership and funding are being investigated by the ministry of company affairs and its parent is the subject of an arbitration dispute between the Essar group and Vodafone. When asked if Loop’s launch in other circles would have any impact on the arbitration, a Vodafone Essar spokesperson said, “The arbitration is only for the company’s Mumbai operations.” The Ruia-promoted Essar Group, with interests in steel and shipping businesses, owns around 9.9 per cent stake in Loop Telecom. Essar Group has 33 per cent stake in Vodafone Essar, a private GSM service provider with pan-India presence. Sanjeev Chachondia, chief executive officer, Loop Telecom said, “We are at present testing our services and products in Tamil Nadu and Orissa. Subseq-uently, we will roll out a wider range of network coverage and services.” Recently, Loop Telecom had announced placing an order with ZTE, a Chinese company that provides telecom equipment and network services, to supply end-to-end network equipment for roll-out of telecom services. http://www.telecomtiger.com/Wireless_fulls...mp;section=S216
