政府的“印度制造”野心拖累了印度电信4G的推出?

明年年底推出4G对BSNL来说可能太少也太迟了。

政府的“印度制造”野心拖累了印度电信4G的推出?
国营电信有限公司(BSNL)在未来五年内，由于其4G服务的商业推出无限期推迟，该公司可能会沦为一个边缘市场。

以蜗牛般的速度运行，BSNL预计将在2022年底推出4G服务，这距离电信市场被新进入者扰乱整整六年依赖Jio4 g。

分析师表示，在移动用户倾向于使用4G，且印度是增长最快的数据消费市场之际，在一个只有2G产品的市场中生存可能很困难。

而私营电信公司包括Reliance Jio, Airtel和沃达丰的想法在向5G大步迈进的同时，BSNL陷入了成为“印度制造”4G玩家的例子和追赶竞争对手之间的困境，这最终推迟了其4G服务的商业推出，并影响了其移动用户。

政府已授权BSNL在其4G服务网络中使用“国内核心或印度核心”。但这种“印度制造”会把这家苦苦挣扎的电信公司推向边缘吗?

4G潮流晚了

缓慢的决策过程加上官僚主义障碍已经让该公司付出了高昂的代价。早些时候，由于政府决定禁止中国供应商，BSNL一直无法扩大其网络。

电信专家马赫什•乌帕尔(Mahesh Uppal)表示:“这种推出4G网络的非传统方式是BSNL推迟商业推出4G服务的原因之一。”

乌帕尔说，仅靠2G服务很难生存，人们正在慢慢转向智能手机。2G将与4G和5G共存，但在电信市场只占少数份额。

BSNL早先的4G网络推出招标于2020年7月取消，自那以来，BSNL一直在与当地公司合作推出其网络。它推出了一项混合招标，其中一半以上的场地将交给印度玩家。

BSNL提出了采购5万个具有当地核心的场地的招标，并已向包括TCS、Tech Mahindra、HFCL、L&T和ITI在内的五家供应商发出了意向书。

该网络可以在选定的公司在试验期间展示他们的解决方案后推出。供应商的概念验证(PoC)时间表已延长至2021年12月31日，推迟了4G的推出。此前，试验预计将于2021年10月31日结束。BSNL预计，如果试验成功完成，4G将在10个月内推出，这意味着4G预计将在明年年底推出。

早些时候，工会要求政府允许BSNL从所有供应商采购设备，而不是仅限于印度人。

印度国家电信公司(BSNL)推出4G的竞标遇到了几个障碍，根据电信技术委员会的建议，该公司不得不改变招标条件，纳入本土公司，以证明技术的可证明性。

BSNL的一名前雇员表示，政府的干预和电信部门对每一步的各种批准是该公司表现不佳的主要原因之一。

尽管如此，流露出信心的BSNL董事长兼董事总经理PK Purwar最近在接受etelecom的采访时表示，尽管没有4G服务，该公司已经能够节省其收入，并已成为一个运营稳定的组织，企业和基于光纤的有线乐动娱乐招聘业务健康增长。

“我们正在努力克服4G的挑战，并能够展示本土的概念验证。重要的是与合作伙伴合作和协调，以便我们实现目标.....一旦4G服务推出，印度电信将处于更有利的地位。除了PoC后的设备可用性外，Spectrum没有任何挑战。到下个财政年度，我们将能够推出4G网络。”

BSNL vs 4G

印度人迅速接受了4G服务，使该国成为世界上最大的数据消费市场。明年将是Reliance Jio进入印度的第6年，其4G服务颠覆了印度的电信市场。在这一切之中，BSNL离4G还差得远。

Reliance Jio于2016年9月推出4G服务，提供免费语音通话和极低的资费。它造成了电信市场的混乱，只有三家私营企业，以及BSNL和MTNL。

根据印度电信监管机构TRAI的数据，印度约有7.94亿宽带用户(包括无线和有线)。截至2021年9月底，前五大服务提供商占宽带用户总数的98.70%——Reliance Jio(4.2878亿)、Bharti Airtel(2.073亿)、Vodafone Idea(1.223亿)、BSNL(2415万)和Atria Convergence(196万)。

在印度，4G用户预计将从2020年的6.8亿人增加到2026年的8.3亿人，年复合增长率为3%。根据爱立信移动报告，4G在2020年仍然是主导技术，占移动用户的61%。

4G技术将继续占据主导地位，到2026年将占移动用户的66%，届时3G将逐步淘汰。到2026年底，5G将占印度移动用户的26%左右，估计约有3.3亿用户。

2020年智能手机用户数量为8.1亿，预计将以7%的复合年增长率增长，到2026年将超过12亿。2020年，智能手机用户占移动用户总数的72%，预计到2026年，这一比例将超过98%，这主要得益于该国智能手机的快速普及

在印度的数据和智能手机增长故事中，BSNL又一次缺席了行动。

遥遥领先

仅提供4G服务的Jio，正瞄准其他电信公司的2G用户群，推出了与谷歌合作的最新产品JioPhone Next。第一个目标是Airtel和Vodafone Idea的2G万用户基础，约为2.5亿，占其收入的22- 25%。Airtel和Vodafone Idea都为购买各种4G智能手机提供现金返还优惠，以保留其2G基础。

不过，分析人士对其未来持谨慎乐观态度。但是，如果BSNL必须保持强大的竞争对手地位，它就需要加大赌注，专注于4G的推出。

普拉布·拉姆，头行业Intelligence Group表示，在竞争激烈的市场中，灵活性是确保市场相关性的关键，这表明BSNL需要跟上竞争对手的步伐。“BSNL通往4G的道路长期以来充满了延误和挑战，而5G的竞争已经在加紧进行。”

“一旦BSNL的全面4G网络投入使用，它仍有巨大的潜力，它将成为生活在雄心勃勃的印度和城市中的人们的希望灯塔。此外，成功开发本土4G网络将预示着印度电信公司未来在5G领域的发展。”

BSNL在将移动服务推广到印度的各个角落方面发挥了至关重要的作用，但它已经落后于技术一代，很难跟上如此快速的技术变化。曾经是皇冠上的明珠，现在成了落后者。这恰如其分地概括了公共部门电信公司BSNL的现状。

明年年底推出4G对BSNL来说可能太少也太迟了。

\"Government’s<\/figure>State-run telecom PSU Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL<\/a>) may reduce to a fringe player in the next five years owing to an unending delay in commercial launch of its 4G services.

Running at a snail\u2019s pace, BSNL expects to launch its 4G services by the end of 2022, exactly six years after the telecom market was disrupted by new entrant Reliance Jio<\/a>\u2019s 4G.

It may be difficult to survive in a market with only 2G offerings at a time when mobile users are inclined towards 4G and India is the fastest-growing data-consuming market, according to analysts.

<\/div><\/div>While private telecom players including Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a> are making strides towards 5G, BSNL has been caught between becoming an example of a \u2018Make in India\u2019 4G player vs catching up with the competition, which ultimately is delaying the commercial launch of its 4G services and impacting its mobile subscribers.

BSNL has been mandated by the government to utilize \u2018domestic core or Indian core\u2019 in its network for 4G services. But will this \u2018Make in India\u2019 push the struggling telco to the fringes?

Late to the 4G bandwagon<\/strong>

Slow decision making process combined with bureaucratic hurdles have already cost the company dearly. Earlier, BSNL has not been able to expand its network due to the government\u2019s decision to ban Chinese vendors.

\u201cThis unorthodox approach of rolling out 4G networks is one of the reasons for the delay in the commercial launch of 4G services by BSNL,\u201d Mahesh Uppal, a telecom expert says.

It would be difficult to survive with only 2G services, Uppal says, adding slowly people are shifting to smartphones. 2G will co exist with 4G and 5G but will only hold a minority share in the telecom market.

BSNL\u2019s earlier tender for 4G network rollout was cancelled in July 2020 and since then, BSNL has been engaging with local firms to roll out its network. It came out with a hybrid tender where over half of the sites will be given to Indian players.

<\/div><\/div>BSNL floated a tender for procurement of 50,000 sites with local core and a letter of intent has already been issued to five vendors including TCS, Tech Mahindra, HFCL, L&T and ITI.

The network can be rolled out after the selected firms demonstrate their solution during the trials. The timeline for Proof of concept (PoC) by vendors has been extended till December 31, 2021, delaying the 4G rollout. Earlier, the trials were expected to be over by October 31, 2021. BSNL expects a 4G rollout within 10 months on successful completion of trials, this means now 4G rollout is expected only by the end of next year.

Earlier, the unions had asked the government to allow BSNL to procure equipment from all vendors rather than restricting it to only Indians.

BSNL's bid to launch 4G had hit several roadblocks and the telco had to change bidding conditions to include homegrown companies to demonstrate technological provenness following the department of telecommunications technical committee recommendations..

An ex employee of BSNL says government\u2019s interference and various approvals from the department of telecommunications at every step has been one of the main reasons for the company\u2019s poor performance.

Though, exuding confidence, BSNL Chairman and Managing Director PK Purwar in a recent interview to ETTelecom said Despite an absence of 4G services, the company has been able to save its revenue, and has become an operationally stable organisation with healthy growth in enterprise and fibre-based wireline business.

\u201cWe are trying to overcome the 4G challenge and were able to demonstrate homegrown proof-of-concept. It is important to work and coordinate with partners so that we can achieve objectives\u2026..once 4G service comes in, BSNL will be in a better position. Spectrum is no challenge except the availability of equipment after PoC. By next fiscal, we'll be able to launch 4G\u201d, Purwar said.

BSNL vs 4G<\/strong>

Indians have lapped up 4G services instantly making the country world\u2019s most data consuming market. Next year will mark 6 years of entry of Reliance Jio with its 4G services, which disrupted the telecom market in India. And amidst all this, BSNL is nowhere close to 4G.

Reliance Jio made its big bang entry in September 2016 with launch of 4G services with free voice calls and dirt cheap tariffs. It created a disruption in the telecom market with only three private players remaining along with BSNL and MTNL.

There are about 794 million broadband subscribers in India (includes both wireless and wireline), as per data from telecom regulator TRAI. Top five service providers constituted 98.70% market share of the total broadband subscribers at the end of September, 2021 - Reliance Jio with 428.78 million, Bharti Airtel with 207.30 million, Vodafone Idea with 122.37 million, BSNL with 24.15 million and Atria Convergence with 1.96 million.

In India, 4G subscriptions are expected to rise from 680 million in 2020 to 830 million in 2026, increasing at a CAGR of 3 percent. 4G remained the dominant technology in 2020, accounting for 61 percent of mobile subscriptions, according to the Ericsson Mobility report.

The 4G technology will continue to be dominant, representing 66 percent of mobile subscriptions in 2026, with 3G being phased out by that time. 5G will represent around 26 percent of mobile subscriptions in India at the end of 2026, estimated at about 330 million subscriptions.

The number of smartphone subscriptions was 810 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7 percent, reaching over 1.2 billion by 2026. Smartphone subscriptions accounted for 72 percent of total mobile subscriptions in 2020 and are projected to constitute over 98 percent in 2026, driven by rapid smartphone adoption in the country

And again in this data and smartphone growth story of India, BSNL has been missing in action.

WAY AHEAD<\/strong>

Jio, which only offers 4G services, is eyeing the 2G user base of other telcos with its latest offering of JioPhone Next in partnership with Google. The first target would be Airtel and Vodafone Idea\u2019s 2G million user base at around 250 million which accounts for 22-25 % of their revenues. Airtel and Vodafone Idea both have cashback offers available on purchase of various 4G smartphones to retain their 2G base.

Analysts though are cautiously optimistic about its future. But, BSNL needs to up its ante and focus on 4G launch if it has to remain a formidable competitor.

Prabhu Ram, Head - Industry<\/a> Intelligence Group, says agility is key for ensuring market relevance in a hyper-competitive market indicating how BSNL needs to come up to match its competitors. \u201cBSNL\u2019s path to 4G has been long fraught with delays and challenges, while the competition is already gearing up for 5G.\u201d

\u201cThere is still significant potential for BSNL\u2019s full-scale 4G network once it goes live, and for it to be a beacon of hope for those living in Aspirational and Urban India. In addition, a successful development of its indigenous 4G network will bode well for BSNL\u2019s play in 5G in the times ahead,\u201d Ram said.

BSNL has been crucial in taking mobile services to nook and corners of India but it has been left behind a technology generation and it would be difficult to catch up with such fast change in technologies. Once a crown jewel, now a laggard. This aptly sums up the state of affairs at public sector telecom firm BSNL.

The 4G launch by the end of next year may be too little and too late for BSNL.
