10. FINAL WORD…
• Though India is the fastest growing telecommunications market
in the world, Govt. has to ensure that the incidences like 2G
scam do not turn away the investors, especially the FDI
contribution in this sector.
• With a large population yet to have access to
telecommunication and Teledensity still being 64.40% for
urban areas & 35.60% for rural areas, significant growth
opportunity for this sector exists, especially in rural areas
where 3G & Wi-Fi are yet to make their impact.
• With population mix moving favourably towards a younger age
profile & rising disposable income of young
professionals, catering to the needs of young India shall be the
mantra for success.
• Investors can look to capture the gains of the Indian telecom
boom and diversify their operations outside to other developing
& developed countries.
