Telecom Talk, Oct 2014
TELCOs kick-started this debate with an emphasis on the currently estimated loss that amounts to be around INR 5,000 crore annually and is expected to cross INR 16,400 crore in next two years. Argument was well encountered by the Regulator quoting “One-third of the incremental revenue of the telecom industry is coming from data services itself”.
Probably this debate didn’t start at the right note!
