Areef AIUB ID: 10-93465-1 Course Instructor: Dr. A. F. M. Masum Rabbani Abstract Not very long ago, mobile were only used by the professional or it was considered as the device of luxury, and user for only voice call, but the scenario has completely changed. Now it’s a necessity of the life. As Bangladesh is a small country with large number of population, it’s an attractive market for business like the mobile operators. Customers of the market do display a strange need for communication through cell phones and are often noted to spend more money on making calls than they do on food. In terms of Social factors, the market is still thriving for more. Customers are still willing to try something new and because of lack of loyalty, customers are always ready for a new operator, hoping that call rates will fall even more which is a threat. The almost exponential growth in the Telecoms sector in Bangladesh in the last 5-10 years has had the same transformative impact on Bangladesh’s economy as the growth of Ready Made Garments...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report examines the international expansion process of Bharti Airtel as a result of increasing competition in the Indian telecom industry during the last 2-3 years. The report provides a detailed account of the evolution of the Indian telecom industry analysis. It gauges the industry through YIP’s globalization drivers and measures industry attractiveness through Porter’s Five Forces model. It also provides information about the increasing saturation and declining Average Revenue per User (ARPU) and the strategies major operators such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular Ltd, Reliance Telecom Ltd, etc. are following to safeguard their profitability. The report discusses about the two fold strategy of tapping the rural market within India and netting talkers in emerging economies, followed by mobile operators in India to de-risk them. Whether it is the rural Indian market or other emerging markets, operators would be busy acquiring subscribers. This, in turn, may result in erosion in profitability. There is no question of profitability. It is all about registering your presence and building psychological pressure. On the other hand, the Indian market has yet to take-off when it comes to offering data-intensive mobile value-added services like m-commerce, healthcare services, governance, education, information and location-based services. But these areas are already contributing to revenues in many African and Middle Eastern countries. In...
