INDUSTRY PROFILE
The mobile subscriber base is expected to zoom to 893 million by 2012. This is a 150 million
increase of what was projected earlier, as per a report by Cellular Operators Association of India
(COAI). The COAIs earlier estimates had shown that mobile user base will reach 743 million by
2012. The major reason stated for the increase is the huge adoption of the mobile services in the
rural areas, reported The Business Line.
India is now the second largest mobile market in the world after China, which has over 650
million subscribers, with India having 400 million mobile users. According to COAIs projection,
there will be 1.24 billion mobile users in 2015 which means one phone for every Indian.
We have revised the projections because the rate at which infrastructure is growing is faster than
what we had expected. Operators are moving into the hinterland and uncovered areas. Secondly,
we are getting almost 50 per cent of our new additions from the rural areas. The third factor is
that the level of competition has increased with new players in the sector which again leads to
faster deployment of networks, says T. V. Ramachandran, Director-General, COAI.
Indian growth story is here to stay. I will push back against any view that says to the contrary.
There is still a huge untapped market in both rural and urban areas, says Atul Bindal, President,
Mobility, Bharti Airtel. According to him, three out of five new subscribers are now coming from
non-urban areas and expect to get the companys next 100 million users in another two-three
years.
India's fast-growing mobile phone industry kept up its pace of heady growth
in January with subscriber base jumping nearly 75 percent over the same
month last year, data released by an industry body showed
Figures from the Cellular Operators Association of India showed that the industry
had 5.725 million subscribers, up from 3.27 million at the end of January 2001 and
5.48 million subscribers at the end of 2001.
The data showed that the industry added 246,281 users in January, led by the
four main city markets of Bombay, New Delhi, Madras and Calcutta, which
together added 93,070 customers. This was three percent less than the number
of customers added in the previous month, but up 48 percent over January 2001
levels.
Among firms which provide services in these four cities, New Delhi operator
Bharti Cellular, a unit of the soon-to-be-listed Bharti Tele-Ventures, recorded the
highest increase of nearly 31,000 customers during the month. COAI said the
country's telecom market with the lowest subscriber potential - called "C" circles
- grew the fastest, but on a much lower subscriber base.
The Indian government classifies the country's telecoms market into "metro" and
"A", "B" and "C" circles or zones, based on subscriber potential. According to
COAI data, the subscriber base in "C" circles leapt 99 percent while in the
lucrative "metro" market, it grew 81 percent. The subscriber base in "A" circles
grew 87 percent while the "B" circle grew nearly 49 percent.
At the end of January, metro circles had 2.25 million subscribers, "A" circles 1.96
million, "B" circles 1.3 million and "C" circles 200,656 subscribers, the data
showed. The telecom industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India.

The concept of customer satisfaction and loyalty (CS&L) has attracted much
attention in recent years. A key motivation for the fast growing emphasis on
CS&L can be attributed to the fact that higher customer satisfaction and
loyalty can lead to stronger competitive position resulting in larger market
share and profitability. Using a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach, in
this study we analyzed and compared CS&L efficiency for mobile phone
brands in an emerging telecommunication market, Turkey. The constructs of
European Customer Satisfaction Index (ECSI) model are treated and used as
input and output indicators of our DEA model. Drawing on the perceptual
responses of 251 mobile phone users, the DEA models reveal that from the
top six mobile phone brands in Turkey, Nokia features as the most efficient
brand followed by LG and Sonny Ericsson in terms of CS&L efficiency, while
Motorola, Samsung and Panasonic rank as the least efficient brands.
The paper takes the form of empirical research on a partial application of the
typology.
This study introduces a typology underscoring the pursuit of satisfaction and
development of loyalty in three conditions of product presence versus brand
presence, that is, product alone, brand alone, and product and brand combined.
Results show that the relationship satisfactionloyalty is significantly present
when evaluating products alone albeit a weaker presence than when evaluating
brand alone. Such unequal presence is corroborated in both traditional (bottled
wine) and innovative (electronic) products even though it is much stronger in
innovative products. The relationship satisfactionloyalty is also present when
evaluating product and brand combined, indicating that there is an intermediate
position between product and brand. In contrast, the literature treats brand and
productbrand as being in the same category thereby diminishing the
importance of a useful difference between brand and productbrand.

This paper reports a study which scrutinized users preference levels with five
new mobile phone design features facilitating universal information access
through mobile phones: camera, colour screen, voice-activated dialling,
Internet browsing, and wireless connectivity (e.g. Bluetooth, infrared, etc.).
The survey study involved college students and investigated the degree to
which each of the above features impacts the users overall satisfaction and
enhances the potential of mobile phones to contribute to different aspects of
universal access. Our results show that colour screen, voice-activated
dialling, and Internet browsing feature can strongly predict users satisfaction
level, and their preference levels together account for 22.7% of the variance
relation statistical tools used for analysis of data .The data collected was
