Scenario Description and Business Opportunity
Analysis

• The Indian Broadband Scenario
• R. Balajee
• Midas Communication Technologies

2
Indian Telecom Scenario
3
Broadband Blues

• 2.47 million Broadband subscribers
• As of July against internet subscriber base of
  9 million
• Compared to 56million in china where 100000
  subscribers have begun on IP-TV expected to reach
  a million
• How much of 2.47 million can afford real
  sustained 2Mbps?
• 48 million copper wired homes with falling ARPUs
• IP-TV more a bundled service than Driver
• 2.5 million subscribers on DTH growing towards 6
  million
• Pirated DVDs at Rs.35
• Is IP-TV Content Aggregation Strategy or Data
  Strategy?
• Long term impact of internet video on IP-TV
  market ?
• Broadband need they create is different from
  IP-TV
• VOIP Services
• Growth of ILD based on VOIP
• Domestic VOIP plagued by QOS issues

4
Fixed and Mobile Growth
5
PC Penetration
Quarterly PC sales figures from MAIT
6
Internet Penetration
Both Internet usage ownership limited amongst
the lower SECs because of High cost of enabling
device, Cost of access from home or cyber café
and availability of content hardware interface
in vernacular languages.
7
Access Penetration
The driver for internet access in the order
are Communication needs Educational
needs Entertainment needs Others
8
Pricing of Internet Access
The low Indian ARPU has propelled the broadband
growth this far. To expand into newer
socio-economic regions and classes,
cost-effective access technologies, Intelligent
service pricing and bundling of services to
end-customers, Managed Services to Operators
from Vendors, Vendor financing models based on
revenue sharing are required.
9
Blockers for Broadband
Poor Fixed Line Growth
Low PC Adoption
Very Low ARPU Market
10
Summary Key Enablers for Broadband Penetration
in India

• Broadband access infrastructure to compensate for
  poor Fixed Line coverage
• Wireless and/or Wire-line
• Able to match a low ARPU subscriber base (Low
  Cost Access)
• Seamlessly integrate with legacy back-haul (STM)
  as well as newer back-haul (IP)
• Ability to offer Voice/VOIP services inherently
• Offering Computing services to beat Low PC
  adoption
• Remotely Managed Computing services
• Newer Service Pricing model to make way for High
  AMPU in low ARPU markets
• Newer Revenue models including Rentals
• Vendor Financing models with service providers
• Ex CCB

11
Some Solutions

• Fixed Wireless solution that can match the ARPU
  to facilitate further broadband penetration
• In-built with voice/voip capabilities
• Cover distances ranging from 4Km to 10km
• Need not deliver 10s of Mbps, but upto an Mbps
  to deliver most broadband services of today
• No spectrum bottlenecks to resolve
• Fixed Wire line solution that can match the ARPU
  to facilitate further broadband penetration
• Highly Cost Effective
• Minimal Infrastructure requirements Outdoor
  deployable network
• No local power requirements to facilitate fast
  deployments Remote powered network
• VOIP ready subscriber terminals
• Triple-play capable network

DSL on Wireless
14
Centralized, Micro-Cellular Architecture
Deployment

• Choose a centralised location for corVAN, where
  voice/voip and IP traffic can be handed over to
  Exchange
• Locate the Base Station Distributors to create
  cell sites, wherever coverage is needed.
• Wireless or Fiber connectivity to the Base
  Station Distributors
• Base station configuration will depend on the
  subscriber densities.

15
Distributed, Micro-Cellular Architecture
Deployment

• Locate a Base Station Aggregator where coverage
  is required.
• Extend IP or E1 V5/SS7 connectivity to BSA
• Create Base Station Cell Sites close to BSA
  location
• Base station configuration will depend on the
  subscriber densities.

16
Application Areas

• Fixed Wireless Broadband for low ARPU scenarios
• Voice and Effective Broadband Data
• Broadband Wireless Coverage for TNF areas for
  Incumbents
• DECT Upgradation/Replacements
• Extending Last Mile Wireless Broadband for
  Community Specific applications and Public
  Utility services
