[edit]Landlines

Until recently, only the Government-owned BSNL and MTNL were allowed to provide landline phone

services through copper wire in India with MTNL operating in Delhi and Mumbai andBSNL servicing

all other areas of the country. Private operators such as Touchtel and Tata Teleservices have entered

the market however, the primary focus of their business is on the mobile-phone sector.[citation needed] Due

to the rapid growth of the cellular phone industry in India, landlines are facing stiff competition from

cellular operators. This has forced landline service providers to become more efficient and improve

their quality of service. Landline connections are now also available on demand, even in high density

urban areas. The breakup of wireline subscriber base in India as of September 2009 is given below[38]

Revenue and growth

The total revenue in the telecom service sector was 86,720 crore (US$ 19.7 billion) in 2005-06 as

against 71,674 crore (US$ 16.3 billion) in 2004-2005, registering a growth of 21%. The total

investment in the telecom services sector reached 200,660 crore (US$ 45.5 billion) in 2005-06, up

from 178,831 crore (US$ 40.6 billion) in the previous fiscal.[28]

Telecommunication is the lifeline of the rapidly growing Information Technology industry. Internet

subscriber base has risen to 6.94 million in 2005-2006. Out of this 1.35 million

werebroadband connections.[29] More than a billion people use the internet globally.

Under the Bharat Nirman Programme, the Government of India will ensure that 66,822 revenue

villages in the country, which have not yet been provided with a Village Public Telephone (VPT), will

be connected. However doubts have been raised about what it would mean for the poor in the

country.[30]

It is difficult to ascertain fully the employment potential of the telecom sector but the enormity of the

opportunities can be gauged from the fact that there were 3.7 million Public Call Offices in December

2005[31]

up from 2.3 million in December 2004.

The value added services (VAS) market within the mobile industry in India has the potential to grow

from US$500 million in 2006 to a whopping US$10 billion by 2009.[32]
