Such is the interest in the Indian telecom industry that companies from all over the world must do business in the country with a population of over a billion people. But crucial questions remain unanswered regarding competition and service improvments that are vital for the development of the industry.

The much-awaited Mobile Number Portability (MNP) continues to deadlines, with the government now planning to launch MNP by the first week of May. How will this impact on churn rates throughout the country?

With Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) also launching 3G services in Bangalore to attempt to offer service differentiation, MNP's launch could result in greater switching between the mobile service providers.

MNP service implementation was delayed a couple of times, ever since initial notices 3 years ago. The reasons given for the delay are quoted as 'machinery required for the service', but is this really the case or are operators dragging their feet intentionally.

Questions also remain regarding private companies access to the 3G spectrum.

Though basic issues regarding competition and infrastructure may lag behind US and European markets, India leads he way in some services and applications. Mobile payment systems are already in operation in India in collaboration with Citibank and some local Indian banks. Nokia test their financial offerings in India because of its breadth of test subjects (over 500 million mobile subscribers), internet usage via mobile, and the prevalence of those without credit cards willing to transact with the new service. Is this an area where you should be operating? This report will tell you.

In this exclusive new research report, we have delivered an in-depth analysis of the mobile telecoms market in India offering unique analysis of its organisation, its potential and its cost structure. Understanding the market dynamics of the industry and the consumer mindset is central to delivering telecoms services in India, and this has also been analyzed in the report. Indian government representative urges telecoms operators to consider outsourcing network management; says brand key to long-term survival.

"The majority of Indian operators have begun to outsource part of their operations," said Mrs Gupta from India's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, speaking at Mobile World Congress on Wednesday.

Opportunities still exist for external organisations with Indian government representatives urging Indian telecom operators to consider outsourcing network management - maintaining that their brands are the key to their long-term survival.
