New Delhi: The government has received request from 80 companies for mobile virtual network operator (MVNO<\/a>) licence, which will enable them to offer telecom services by buying airtime and bandwidth from existing operators. 新德里:政府已收到请求从80年公司移动虚拟网络运营商(MVNO)执照,这将使他们提供电信服务,从现有的运营商购买播放时间和带宽。
\n
\nSources told TOI that 70 companies have expressed interest in procuring MVNO licence at the district-level as they plan to offer localised services, while 10 have applied for national-level licence. “We are enthused by the response to the MVNO services. Future group and Datawind are among the companies that have applied for the licence,” the sources said.
\n
\nA source said that MVNO licences could be issued over the next few months, or even earlier, and will ensure greater competition in the telecom sector, while offering more choices to consumers.
\n
\nNames of other companies that have applied for the MVNO licence could not be immediately obtained.
\n
\nUnder MVNO, companies buy airtime and bandwidth (for calls and data) in bulk from existing operators and then offer services under their brand. Companies saddled with excess spectrum in various circles can tie up with those entering MVNO business, thus earning revenue on the bandwidth.
\n
\nOn March 28, the inter-ministerial telecom commission had given its approval to MVNOs, a model that exists in the US and Europe. Companies from various sectors (such as telecom, retail, banks or airline players) hope to use it to gain an easy entry into India.
\n
\n“The MVNO route can provide a good option for companies in suburban or rural areas where customers are underserved. While top operators face bandwidth crunch and may not warm up to the idea, there are smaller players and PSUs which have large infrastructure but lack marketing capacities with unused spectrum in their possession,” said Rishi Tejpal, a research analyst at Gartner. The cut-throat mobile and data tariffs in India, however, may not make it easy for MVNO players as they will not have much scope to undercut the market despite bulk purchases at wholesale prices, analysts said.
\n
Players such as Reliance Jio are offering free calling across the country and this has spurred a cut in tariffs across the telecom industry<\/a>. In this scenario, it will be difficult for any new operator to offer a lower rate.
\n
\nBritish businessman Richard Branson-promoted Virgin Group had started providing mobile services in partnership with telecom operator Tata Teleservices (TTSL) a few years back. However, telecom lobby group Cellular Operators Association of India objected to the partnership between them. Branson had later discontinued the business.
\n
\nWhile a MVNO may price its services at almost the same price as mobile operators, a customer may gain by getting benefits on the usage. “So a multibrand retail chain in the MVNO business may offer you redeemable points on your monthly mobile bills which can be converted into cash when buying stuff,” Prashant Singhal, telecom sector lead with Ernst & Young, said.\n\n<\/p><\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":54419890,"title":"Reliance Lyf targets 10M in sales, aims to be among top 3 phone makers by Diwali","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/reliance-lyf-targets-10m-in-sales-aims-to-be-among-top-3-phone-makers-by-diwali\/54419890","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":54421164,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"80 companies apply to be virtual network operators","synopsis":"Sources told TOI that 70 companies have expressed interest in procuring MVNO licence at the district-level as they plan to offer localised services, while 10 have applied for national-level licence.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/80-companies-apply-to-be-virtual-network-opeartors","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Pankaj Doval","author_link":"\/author\/19994\/pankaj-doval","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/19994.cms?width=100&height=100","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":19994,"author_name":"Pankaj Doval","author_seo_name":"Pankaj-Doval","designation":"Assistant Editor","agency":false}}],"analytics":{"comments":0,"views":117,"shares":0,"engagementtimems":478000},"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"TNN","artdate":"2016-09-20 11:08:18","lastupd":"2016-09-26 16:31:12","breadcrumbTags":["industry","license","MVNO","VNO"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/80-companies-apply-to-be-virtual-network-opeartors"}}" data-authors="[" pankaj doval"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-09-20" data-index="article_1">
消息人士告诉本报,70家公司表示有兴趣采购MVNO执照在区级他们计划提供本地化的服务,虽然10申请国家级执照。“我们正在应对MVNO热情的服务。未来集团和Datawind公司申请执照,”消息人士说。
发表的消息人士说,MVNO牌照可以在接下来的几个月,甚至更早,和电信部门将确保更激烈的竞争,同时向消费者提供更多的选择。
其他公司的名字,但都申请MVNO许可证不能立即获得。
MVNO之下,公司购买播放时间和带宽散装(用于电话和数据)从现有的运营商,然后根据自己的品牌提供服务。公司在各界背负着过多的频谱可以与那些进入MVNO业务,从而获得收入的带宽。
3月28日,部际电信委员会批准mvno,一个存在于美国和欧洲的模型。公司各部门(如电信、零售、银行或航空公司球员)希望用它来获得一个简单的进入印度。
“MVNO路线可以为公司提供一个很好的选择在郊区或客户缺医少药的农村地区。而顶级运营商面临带宽危机和可能不热身,有小球员和电源的大型基础设施但缺乏市场营销能力与未使用的频谱占有,”Gartner研究分析师Rishi Tejpal说。激烈的移动和数据关税在印度,但是,可能不方便MVNO球员,因为他们没有太多的范围会削弱市场尽管在批发价格购买散装,分析师表示。
玩家如信实Jio全国提供免费打电话,这刺激了整个电信削减关税行业。在这种情况下,很难对任何新的运营商提供一个较低的利率。
英国商人理查德Branson-promoted维珍集团已经开始提供手机服务与电信运营商合作塔塔电信业务(TTSL)几年前。然而,电信游说团体印度手机运营商协会反对他们之间的伙伴关系。布兰森后停止了业务。
