Descriptive Qualitative Approach towards the Financing Needs of Indian Telecom Sector | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Indian communications infrastructure, with 353 million links (since about September 2008), is the third largest in the whole world. This industry has been rising at a rate of 46-50 per cent in recent decade. NTP-99 set out a straightforward plan for future changes, with a view to opening up all sectors of the telecommunications market to private sector involvement. This Government is committed to supporting rural accessibility through such a host of initiatives to allow rural users to access useful information and business transactions. It would include linking community headquarters to the fibre optic network, leveraging cellular technologies to achieve last mile connectivity and running information kiosks through collaborations with residents, Panchayats, civil society groups, the private sector and the government. Telecommunications plays a crucial role in encouraging emerging economies to compete in the global market. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, various testing methods have been used to draw conclusions. Primarily a descriptive analysis has been carried out to maintain studies clear and description, and perhaps some time empirical and mainly descriptive studies were made to the study.Principally secondary data obtained from various blogs, journals, academic papers, communications and books have been used for study purposes. Various case reports have been taken into account in order to include any facts. The financial firms accessible in public domains have been linked and the telecommunications records available on the websites of the Ministry of Finance, D.O.T. and TRAI have been searched. A few other surveys of telecommunications providers in India have just been taken into account in order to make conclusions on the problem.
