Report on India's domestic long-distance telecom business
India's domestic long-distance (DLD) sector, which officially opened to private companies in August 2000, saw competition emerge only in late 2001. DLD shows all signs of being a tough market, and there will be losers, as well as winners.
Changing technologies, falling bandwidth prices, and regulations which are still being honed, make this a risk-filled business. A further complicating factor is that the basic telecom and cellular operators are effectively in control over the intra-circle long-distance market. Is this a business worth being in? What does it take to survive?
