    dear kanagadeepan

    what evr u told holds good as long as long as spectrum charges are not revised. mr sibal (mama or uncle as you like to call him) wants more money for spectrum. and he says MNP will keep prices under control. If the input cost raises for all how come opeartors can keep prices at the same level..

    my observation on MNP is based on the rimweb members posts ..from the port ins and port outs i felt that movement is from cdma to gsm..

    considering that Within 72 hours of launch, 1 lakh hook up for Airtel 3G (http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2011/01/28/stories/2011012851721200.htm)

    and in view of the explanation below one should buy airtel stocks

    first

    "What this means is that unless you want to get a shocker of a bill at the end of the month, you should pick your plan very carefully according what you think your usage will be. Online reports are claiming that an Airtel 3.6Mbps card was offering download speeds of about 300KBps, so it will be quite easy for you to use up your data limits pretty quickly"

    2-3% of mobile users may shift operators, says Syniverse chief

    Syniverse is one of the two companies which were given the licence by the Government to set up the mobile number portability (MNP) system. Business Line spoke with Mr Sanjay Kasturia, CEO, Syniverse Technologies India Pvt Ltd, on how the company went about implementing the system and its expectations.

    How difficult was it to set up the entire system?

    From Syniverse perspective, the implementation of the entire system has not been difficult at all. Syniverse has deep experience with number portability and has played key roles in MNP implementations in a number of countries around the world, including in the UK, Finland, Singapore, the US and Canada. The transition in those locations to MNP has been nearly seamless for both the operators and the subscribers, and we are experiencing the same successful process in India.

    What percentage of subscribers do you think will churn due to MNP?

    As regards the porting percentage, we expect there would be an initial excitement on MNP but it is likely to stabilise to the levels we see across the world. We expect this percentage to be between 2-3 per cent over the next few years.

    Do you think India will go the way other markets where MNP was introduced in terms of overall impact?

    The success of MNP and its impact largely depends upon a) Customer awareness of the MNP services and its advantages by the operators, B) flawless roll-out of the MNP service, and c) proper monitoring of the MNP process by the “regulator,” such that the end customer experience is not compromised. In our opinion, MNP will have a very positive impact for the subscribers.

    Is the revenue share fixed by TRAI profitable for you?

    Syniverse will be paid a “Per-Port Transaction charge” as decided by the TRAI from time-to-time.

    How many people have you taken on ground for the MNP business?

    There are multiple teams managing different tasks to ensure the porting process is smooth for the end subscribers. We would not like to provide numbers here as a part of the work of managing the Data-centre operations has been outsourced to TCS.

    early trends portend gain of big 3 at the cost of cdma / new players.is this consumer friendly

    http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2011/01/25/stories/2011012551120900.htm

    Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd and Reliance Communications have emerged the biggest losers as a result of Mobile Number Portability (MNP), introduced a month ago in Haryana. According to initial numbers, BSNL has lost a net of over 20,000 subscribers, while RCom has lost nearly 13,500 subscribers as on January 16.

    Idea Cellular, which was the first to start an advertising campaign on MNP, has a net loss of 1,863 subscribers with 15,604 subscribers leaving its network and 13,741 coming in.

    Even new players, including Sistema Shyam, Loop Telecom and Datacom (Videocon), have ended up with a net loss in numbers as a result of MNP.

    Though these are initial numbers, the trends indicate a strong preference for incumbent GSM players.

    Vodafone gained the most with 30,015 subscribers joining its network and only 9,267 leaving. Although Bharti Airtel lost 10,837 of its subscribers, it ended up in the positive as it managed to lure 18,271 subscribers from other operators' networks.

    While these numbers are for Haryana, initial trends coming in from other parts of India are on similar lines.

    While MNP was introduced in Haryana in November, the system was launched across the country on January 20.

    Teething issues

    Sources in the Department of Telecom said that there were teething problems in implementing the system, with complaints coming in from various quarters that porting was not being completed in some cases.

    The DoT has written to all the operators to implement the scheme according to the rules set out by the TRAI and the Government.

    “If a subscriber sends porting request to number 1900, operators have to respond back with the unique porting code. There should not be any exceptions or excuses for this. We have received some complaints of operators who are not processing porting requests. We are investigating these complaints,” said a top DoT official.

    A Reliance Communications spokesperson said, “We believe that the customers who may have ported from one service provider to another are likely to port again on completion of the set time frame of three months. Our focus has been to provide a superior customer experience through better network quality, a wide array of applications at affordable tariffs to attract the high ARPU customers to the Reliance Network. We are satisfied with the initial experience and expect a significant shift in the trend on in the next 2-3 months.”
