OVERVIEW OF TELECOM SECTOR IN GLOBLE MARKET
2012 was an eventful year for telecommunication industry. In 2013 key challenges for telecom companies will be how to monetize new business models, leverage customer data by investing in analytics and define their response to over-the-top players.
• Mobile connection growth which will slow to 7% in 2013.
• Mobile broadband connection will grow by a more respectable 27%
• Wholesale carriers will continue to face declining revenue and margins as a result of domestic regulation and intense competition.
• Operator will tack a new approach to M2M with more partnering to deliver services
• All vendors will have to deal with the encroachment of software providers in core telecoms software stacks.

OVERVIEW OF TELECOM SECTOR IN INDIA
• The Indian Telecommunication Industry Is One Of The Largest And The Fastest Growing In The World. Government Policies And Regulatory Implemented By (TRAI)
Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India.
• Through The Awareness Around The World On The Information And Communication Technology, In The Later Part Of 20th Century To Realize The Importance Of An Efficient Telecommunication For The Development Of The Economy.
• At The 21st Century The Developing Countries Started The Full Use Of Technology Revolution Tacking Place Around The World.

• Indian Telecom Sector Is More Than 165 Years Old. Telecommunications Was First Introduced In India In 1851 When The First Operational Land Lines Were Laid By The Government Near Kolkata (Then Calcutta),
• Although Telephone Services Were Formally Introduced In India Much Later In 1881.
• The Entire Evolution Of The Telecom Industry Can Be Classified Into Three Distinct Phases.
Phase I- Pre-Liberalization Era (1980-89)Phase II- Post Liberalization Era (1990-99)Phase III- Post 2000
1. Phase I- Pre-Liberalization Era (1980-89)

INTRODUCTION OF MNP
• Mobile Number Portability Is The Process By Which, You Can Shift To Another Operator Of Your Choice, While Retaining Your Old Number. Say Goodbye To Inflated Billing, Call Drops And Sub Standard Network
• Mobile Number Portability Is Now Crucial Issue For The Mobile Service Providers. The Most Challenging Job For The Present Day Is That Retain Existing Mobile Customer. The Mobile Operator’s Ability To Retain Its Customer Has A Direct Impact On Its Profitability And Effectiveness. Losing A Customer Will Affect The Mobile Operators In Terms Of Cost.
• On The Other Hand, There Are Several Downsides To Using Mnp Services. With The Use Of MNP Customers Will Generally Be Oblivious To The Network They Are Calling. In The Past, Operators Have Had A Specific Number Code Before The Remaining Numbers That Comprise A Phone Number, In Order To Make It Easy For Callers To Identify Which Network They Are Calling. With The Use Of MNP, However, This Code Serves Very Little Purpose As It Does Not Mean That A Customer With Such A Code Still Belongs To The Corresponding Network
9
MNP solution :-• Terminology • Database management for MNP• Technical Aspects of MNP Implementation
There Are Four Different Schemes For The Implementation Of The Routing:
1. All Call Query (ACQ) 2. Query On Release (QOR) 3. Call Drop Back (CD) 4. Onward Routing (OR)
10
• Remove Barrier To The Free Choice Of Mobile Operator, By Customer
• Ensure To Increase In The Level Of Open Competition Among Mobile Network Operators.
• For The Service Provider To Improve On Quality Of Services And Customer Satisfaction.
• Make It Easier For The New Mobile Entrant To Gain Market Share.
OBJECTIVE OF MOBILE NUBER PORTABILITY
11
There Are Mostly Three Types Of MNP• Location Portability • Service Portability • Operator Portability
TYPE OF MNP
12
Administrative arrangement is equally important as the technical arrangement.
1. Porting request:-2. Porting authentication:-3. Time to port:-4. Tariff transparency:
PROCESS OF MNP
13
WHY MNP?
• Removes Barriers To Switching Networks For Customers, Thereby Increasing Customer Choice
• More Choice Would Translate Into Greater Competition Among Operators To Retain And Attract More Customers, Leading To Better Quality Of Service And Reduced Tariffs.
• MNP Also Allows Effective Utilization Of Numbering Resources, As One Customer Is Bound To Stick To His Mobile Number For A Much Longer Time, Even If He Is Switching Service Providers. Taking A Deeper Look Into The Effect That MNP Implementation Would Have On The Following Parameters Puts Things Into Better Perspective. We Can Classify These Effects Into Static And Dynamic
14
PROBLEM OF THE STUDY
LIMITATION OF MNP• Consumer Allowed To Switching Operator Only 90 Days After A Connection Is
Activated.• Consumer Allowed To Change Operator Within Their Registered Circle Only ( If You
Are Within Gujarat Circle You Can’t Shift To Rajasthan Circle.)
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACT OF MNP ON MOBILE OPERATORS
• Operator Who Are Having Existing Strong Base Of Customer Will Able To Maintain Customer By Providing Competitive Services.
• New Telecom Service Provider Can Survive In The Market By Providing Competitive Tariffs And VAS.
• Competition Among Telecom Service Provider Increasing.
• Profit Margins Are Likely To Decline.
• Complex Task To Find Out Subscribers Owns By Operator As It Can Change Service Providers When Ones Found Better Value For Money.
15
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
Primary ObjectivesTo Investigate The Effect Of Mobile Number Portability On Mobile Phone Users Within Telecom Circle.
Secondary Objectives• To Determine The Response Rate Of Users Towards Mobile Number Portability.• To Find Out The Reasons Of Using Mobile Number Portability.• Ensure To Increase In The Level Of Open Competition Among Mobile Network
Operators.• To Find Out The Impact On Service Provider Of Mobile Number Portability.• To Find Out The Problems In The Process Of Mobile Number Portability.• To Find Out The Usage Of Mnp Across The Different Demographics.

How Importance /Useful Do You Think Would Mobile Number Portability Prove To Be In The Indian Market Scenario?
Are You Aware Of The Procedure To Be Followed For Mobile Number Portability WhileSwitching Connections ?
26
Findings
In The Survey For Mobile Number Portability We Find The Use And Perception Of Customer About Network Operator.
In This Project We Find That Some Network Operator Who Has Strong Market
Strength I.E Vodafone ,Airtel, Idea Having Their Loyal Customer. Customers Are Switching To New Network Operator Because Of The Value
Added Service, Network Coverage, Call Cost, Tariff Plane Etc. In MNP Service Where Customer Are Not Properly Aware About The Services.
As Per The TRAI Total Mobile Subscribers Are 931.95 Million From That 2.47 Million MNP Request Are Received.
At Starting Time Advertising Of MNP Was Very High. But Now Days There Is No Advertise Which Create Unawareness Of Customers.
Through MNP Service Customer Can Switch Their Service To Other Network
Provider With Same Mobile Number. But These Lead The High Competition In The Market.
27
In Indian Market There Are Many Network Operator From Them Some Network Operator Are Not Having Strong Customer Power I.E Aircell, BSNL, Uninor, Videocon, Loop, Virgin, MTS ..Etc
In This Survey We Find That Many Customers Who Are Stay With Their Existing Service Provider. Where They Are Satisfied And Some Other Customer Who Are Not Satisfied With Their Current Service Provider Where They Willingly Want To Switch To Service Provider Who Has Beneficial Plans, Offer, Network Coverage Etc.
Most Of The Subscribers Subscribe MNP Services Due To Low Prices And
Easy Process. MNP Helps Mobile Phone Users To Change From One Mobile Operator To
Another Without Changing Mobile Phone Number. Being The First Promoter Of MNP Services In India, Idea Get Success In
Terms Of Attracting Potential Customers And Retain ing Existing Customer. Because The Users Of MNP Services Are Young, Teenagers And Couples Etc.
Hence It Compels Operators To Think On Segmen tation In The Prepaid Market.
28
Limitation Of The Study The Shortage Of Time And Money Will Limit The Number Of
Samples In To Minimum
The Advanced Statistical Tools Not Used For Analysis.
At The Time Of Research Respondents Are Not Ready Give Answer.
Many Respondent Give Unbiased And Dishonest Answer.
29
SUGGESTION Operator Should Focus On Maximizing The Relevance Of Subscribers Profile,
Interest, Prepaid Balance, Past Behavior. Network Operator Should Offer Long Term Loyalty Benefits Staggered Over A
Period Of Time.
Research Findings Suggest That Different Groups Have Dif ferent Switching Behavior. Age, Gender, Marital Status And Brand Have Significant Dependency On Those Who Switch.
Operators Should Design The Customer Care Service Under In spection. It Will Answer All Calls To The Customer Care Centers Within 10 Seconds Or Reverse The Money Spent On The Call.
In Case Of Any Call Drop, Subscribers Will Have To Send An SMS For Getting
Their Money Back.
Operator Should Give The Advertising On TV, Radio, Newspaper With Attractive Packages. Which Leads To Use Of MNP
30
Continue…..
In High Competitive Market Operator Should Provide Discount Offer And Value Added Pack Which Help Win Back The Subscriber.
Operator Should Focus On Network, Backend Operation, Technology Operation And Setting Up Systems For The Better Services.
Operators Who Provide Only CDMA Service Should Try To Provide Switching
CDMA To GSM. For Attracting New Customer Service Operator Has To Provide Low Charges Or
Think On Offering A SIM Card Free Of Cost Along With Additional Talk.
They Should Think On Offering Special Tariffs, Free SMS, Free Data Pack For Period Of Time.
Research Finds That’s Different Groups Have Different Switching Behavior, Age , Marital Status, Gender. Etc
