Current and Future Trends of Telecom Sector in India

Telecom is one of the fastest-growing industries in India. Today India stands as the second-largest telecommunications market in the world. The mobile phone industry in India would contribute US$ 400 billion in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) of the country in 2014.This sector which is growing exponentially is expected to generate about 4.1 million additional jobs by 2020, as per Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA). India?s Global System for Mobile (GSM) operators had 4.14 million rural subscribers as of January 2014, bringing the total to 285.35 million.

BBNL is a special purpose vehicle set up to carry out the establishment, management and operation which has been envisaged by the government to provide high speed broadband connectivity to all gram panchayats and to provide access to bandwidth to all eligible service providers to enable them to provide services in rural areas.

Telecom Sector Skills Council (TSSC) will work alongside with USOF (Universal Service Obligation Fund) and BBNL in order to achieve the stated objective of the National Telecom Policy 2012 through several training programmes to be jointly undertaken. Telecom, IT, Media and Entertainment (TIME) and Social media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) can very well be addressed by having training programmes for Grass Root Telecom Providers (GRTP) touching the lives of rural masses through cable TV, Wi-Fi and other devices. This will translate into wide range of opportunities and job openings for Grass Root Telecom Provider.
