<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 18.6667px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-fbce6e83-999f-ec5c-5571-93ebd61eb445" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;">Life insurance coverage is one of those things that ought to be organized by all who are able to afford it. There are plenty of reasons why but the main one is that it's going to help you to take care of your family. Here is how it works.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Whenever you sign a life insurance plan you are going to have to specify some beneficiaries. These are the people you would like to benefit from the payout of the life insurance coverage when you pass away. What this means is that when you pass on to the next world your life insurance policy will pay out the predetermined amount to the people you have given as beneficiaries. They will be able to utilize this money for anything they desire.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The most common individuals to name as beneficiaries are the close family. This would generally imply your partner and kids. This is because it is these folks that depend on your income to get from month to month. When you pass on your earnings will be lost to them and they'll either need to find a way to replace it or lower their standard of living to accommodate the lower income. This might mean that your kids will not be able to get tertiary education and further themselves to the very best of their ability.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You do need to remember that a life insurance plan will seldom shell out within a couple of days of your death. This is because the insurance coverage company that underwrote your plan may wish to be absolutely sure that the way you passed on did not violate any of the conditions and terms of your agreement with them. If they do find a violation, they will not pay out so be sure to keep to the conditions and terms of your policy as best you're able. As your life insurance policy will not pay out instantly you will need to have a funeral plan as well to make sure that your family will be able to cover the price of your own funeral service, but that is a tale for a different article.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Having life insurance in position can take a major load of stress or you as well as your spouse's shoulders. You will not have to be worried about what's going to happen to your loved ones should one of you pass on before your kids are grown. You won't have to be overly concerned about your family becoming destitute as a result of your demise because the insurance plan can be tailored to pay for all your debts.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As you can see, there is actually not a single person in the world that can genuinely say that they have got no requirement for a life insurance plan. Everyone has someone who we want to and need to help keep safe. This is why there are life insurance plans, to help all of us to cater for our family members in an uncertain future. Do not delay, make sure that your life insurance coverage is taken care of as soon as you are able to find two minutes to get on the internet and sort it out.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5MZ31Tp138/V-zjU6IORJI/AAAAAAAAB_s/WzD_CXG1bK8mcJw2I2ipWMTaTcRVk3rwQCLcB/s1600/Innovation.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5MZ31Tp138/V-zjU6IORJI/AAAAAAAAB_s/WzD_CXG1bK8mcJw2I2ipWMTaTcRVk3rwQCLcB/s640/Innovation.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
With growing ecosystem of startup
around the globe brings in major threat to their innovations too. Many startups
often start from living room or college canteen. Many successful startups in India
indicated that few like minded innovators joins hand with strength in different
domain and start the development work to showcase the proof of concept. Proof of concept with viable
business case is very important to get the seed funding.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the event of self funding or
through seed funding, startup generally hire the first line of employee through
reference without going through the background check.There comes the threat of human
vulnerability which is maximum in the information security domain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We generally trust our resources
and treat them as family to inflict conviction and confidence within the team
member but sometimes some of the resources turns hostile and hurt the company.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is very important for startup
to implement network security but the usages of basic email server to common
hosting server works for the worst. As startup founders invest their life
savings to effort in order to achieve the goal and it is important for all of
us to implement human intelligence as first line of defense to mitigate any
security breach which may cost us unavoidable failure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Many resources complain that they
are not allowed to attend phone calls, whatsapp or any other messaging
application within office. Some of them complain that they are not allowed to
leave the office during office hours or they are not allowed to carry laptop
back home. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I do understand the concern of
the resources and they suffer just because of few resources who is not ethical
while performing their duties. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It's unfortunate that some of the
resources intentionally or unintentionally share company information with
friends or relatives or XYZ, which may lead to leaking of confidential
information about product, potential business etc.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When it comes to security we talk
of routers to switch to IPS/IPS, DDoS, penetration testing to Vulnerability
Assessment but it does not work in startup ecosystem. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If one wants to secure the
innovation till it’s released in the market, it is utmost important the founder
should keep an eye on everyone based on multiple intelligence mechanism.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">As per the report published in new paper today, government
received 80 request to get the license.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">Under MVNO license one can buy the minutes and
data from mobile service providers and resell it to end consumer under their
brand name.<span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">In a current scenario, when wireless subscribers
touched around billion and major chunk of users are still using feature phone
will help potential MVNO players in big way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">Currently Device manufacturer are the center of
attraction and offer bundled data to their buyer as value add. In that process
mobile service provider acquire data user at much lower cost.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Entry of MVNO will help volume device manufacturer present
both in feature phone and Smartphone to dominate the market.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">The brands like Micromax, intex, lava, karbonn,
Spice, celkon will be the biggest gainer as they are very strong in
feature phone segment whereas some of the mentioned brands are also strong in Smartphone
segment.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The positioning of these brands will attract
MVNO towards them for new user acquisition.<span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">The above brand may choose to ask for user
acquisition cost which may run in $1 to $2 of additional revenue per user.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">This will be on top of their ongoing VAS revenue
of around $1 to $5 depending upon the brand market share and reach ability.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">These brands are very strong in rural sector
when it comes to feature phone and now posses the potential of increasing their
margin if all goes right with MVNO license allocation.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">The move is very good to get more penetration
and help those to have mobility who is still deprived of that.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJlztEjvIPc/V9_3TPJCsCI/AAAAAAAABmA/HG45ywqotaU8qOsyRcy0ESSFxkjyKtrkACLcB/s1600/cheating3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJlztEjvIPc/V9_3TPJCsCI/AAAAAAAABmA/HG45ywqotaU8qOsyRcy0ESSFxkjyKtrkACLcB/s640/cheating3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided to share this article post long research of current society for the last 15 years. The article takes you through the social changes with time, money and I realised that mistrust is the basis of today relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 80's or even 2000 era when someone used to meet someone then they used to maintain the friendship to the maximum level and used to help each others. I still remember friendship of my parents with their friend circle and even after 40 years the love and respect of relationship is so pure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During that era the salary of Indian were not high and social relationship used to be on the basis of sheer love for respect, care and person intellect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many even went to an extent of getting each other family member settle down. I call that relationship True Relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the same time, in current environment,relationship is cosmetic in nature when one try to outclass others through their materialistic approach. Many claim to be friend or brother or sister but when it comes to trusting someone who really try to help the other side, you may land in shock. Is it the result of competitive environment within society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I came across one incident recently which forced me to believe that trust from the society is completely over. If you think that other side really care for you then you may get a setback as you don't know about the other side intentions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At one end we talk about connected mobility to banking to commerce whereas miss the connected relationship. I call it cosmetic relationship. Please keep your eyes opened and one should have shiva like third eye to catch the double faces sweet relatives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Post multiple failures, I decided to pen down my views on
UN. The message is for 5 permanent Security Council member countries as they
need to forge common goal to fight terrorism rather than include their
Political agenda to protect one or another countries or affiliate to make sure
that no resolutions are passed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The whole world is suffering from terrorism and it is acting
like a missile for many countries. I start from nasty attack on World Trade
Center, Multiple Attack in Bali, Multiple Attack in France, Spain, Portugal,
Turkey, India and many other countries. What Security Council is doing to curb
it. In my point of view they are sitting blind folded. Why can’t all members
come together and start blocking terrorism organization and block their
accounts. If all five counties join hand then it will be matter of months to bulldoze
terrorism.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/Narendra-Modi" target="_blank">Mr. Modi</a> categorically said in multiple occasions that
there is no good or bad terrorism and all should stand together. There cannot
be two policies when it comes to Terror outfit to countries and permanent
countries should stop misuing the Veto power to favor one or another to their
own interest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the end we are human being and we should also think about
people who lost and losing their life, family who is suffering because of loss
of their home earner.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We should also understand that this terrorism is actually the
main showstopper in global recovery from recession. Many countries like Libya
to Iraq to Syria all went into troubled water which impacted the overall growth
story and at the same time the investment climate in developed countries where
terror attack happened suffered loss of foreign direct investment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We as human always think that if we are safe means all are
safe but we should also think by putting yourself on sufferer shoe and then
only we can feel the pain of the sufferer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Still its not late as <a href="http://www.un.org/en/ga/about/" target="_blank">UN Assembly</a> is going to start and all member countries should send the
stern message followed by action including all kind of sanction so that others don’t
dare to do it again. If we fail to do so then the countries like North Korea
will continue its mockery of great organization UN. If they fail then its not
long before member countries will start considering them as Handicapped
Organization. If reader agrees with me then please like and share with your friends
and family. Its the time that every citizen irrespective of their locations to
religion to stand firm and support the cause of eradicating terrorism once for
all.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e2nj5lJQ_3o/V9-YrR9hF7I/AAAAAAAABlQ/Vl0lXH9T8EQJM53OKHcgDd4kTzkKw6NRgCLcB/s1600/FotorCreatedda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e2nj5lJQ_3o/V9-YrR9hF7I/AAAAAAAABlQ/Vl0lXH9T8EQJM53OKHcgDd4kTzkKw6NRgCLcB/s640/FotorCreatedda.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The ongoing war of words between
Airtel and Reliance Jio is nothing but new business strategy. If one look at
the news reports, 90% of the blame is targeted towards Airtel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It's also interesting to know
that 2 Cr call drop is happening just because of that and it indicate the
number of subscribers Reliance Jio acquired in recent weeks. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We failed to hear any statement
from Reliance Jio that X number of call failure because of Reliance
communications, Aircel, BSNL which is controlling more than 27% of the total
wireless user Base. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It means that Reliance jio
received full cooperation from them and there is no issue when it comes to MNP
for those users who want to port in on to Reliance Jio, No call drops or
negligible call drop. If yes or no, Reliance Jio should release the statement
to justify their statements.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It's being observed that the
three bugs are on Reliance jio hit list whereas the others are in ignores list.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As claimed by Jio that the call
drop problem is not there in Jio to Jio call and they might be right whereas
they should understand that in a scenario of jio to other network,
interoperability plays a key roles. Reliance jio cannot just throw Airtel claim
indicating that there must be issue with Reliance jio network but should work
closely with Airtel to rectify the bug and fix it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I kept on writing in my previous
article that Reliance Jio is going to face the. music once concurrent user base
will increase and we can feel the pain point attached with Reliance jio.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Being a keen learner, I kindly
request Reliance Jio to release the call failure rate because of non top three.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In my point of view, Reliance jio
should stop thinking that their network is the best and they may get their way
all the time. Collaboration is the way to innovation not blames game.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In recent years, world of mobility changed upside down. No
one ever thought in early part of 2000 that mobility will become the essential
ecosystem of consumer or prosumer life. The change in mobility also impacted PC
& laptop world and now that segment is also offering mobility on the go.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now days the mobility device configuration in most of the
cases are at par with the PC & Laptop segment. In my point of view,
mobility world predominantly in developed countries are not offering any
differentiation as minor feature enhancements being used by the companies to
sell the products to end consumer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In my point of view, do we know as product companies about
end consumer RAM or ROM or Applications or Operating system or screen or camera
or resolution or screen size or productivity tool. For example I like company A
product with older version of operating system but new version of chipset
coupled with small screen. Unfortunately it's not offered in the market then I
will be forced to buy another device and then buy or download additional
applications or services to fulfill my requirements.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Since, most of the companies designing and producing Smartphone’s
collaborate with ODM or own its own assembly plant. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In that scenario, consumer defined specification can be
produced and shipped to them by charging the end consumer the premium for that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Take another example of HP or Dell or any other laptop
manufacturer wherein end consumer can increase or decrease the processing power
to screen size and according companies charges end consumers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In today's Smartphone
segment many companies like Sony, Samsung, HTC, and LG etc are offering
Smartphones which is even more expensive than entry level laptop to high end
laptops.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I believe that in coming months, we will observe companies
like Samsung or Sony or someone else will come out in the market with this kind
of proposition to differentiate themselves and it will be completely disruptive
model in the market. Being a consumer if I am spending $800 to $1500 for Smartphone
then I should be given the flexibility to define my device specification. It
will off course improve brand loyalty</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Indian Telecom regulatory body wishes to integrate Aadhar Id with mobile phone to streamline one unique identification number. Very good initiative from regulatory body as well as government. Even more encouraging that most of the Indian as well as International mobile phone companies are </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Working on integration process. The integration of biometric mechanism will again be integrated with Smartphone devices using American based Technology company product line. At the same time Google and Apple is opposing the move citing privacy and hacking concerns. INDIA with more than billion Aadhar card holders and around billions wireless users, the move is really appreciable but the move half hearted. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While chalking out the plan no body is bothered about those users who are not using smartphone. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When government is focusing on those citizens who are deprived off government help as well as tracking the trend of government policy implementation but mostly those users are residing is rural sector. Even though some of the needy citizens who lives in Urban area are predominantly using feature phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my point of view, government as well as device manufacturer should come out with solution which should cover both the device segment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Based on my limited understanding,when the Aadhar server is already in place and user can use device only using the wireless devices then we should leverage the wireless network capabilities. In my point of view,the innovators sitting in wireless companies can solve the problem. We must remember that each aadhar card is attached with mobile number and most of the user do not surrender SIM but port to different network operator using MNP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The initiative to map Aadhar with device will yield result but if one want better result than mapping aadhar with wireless operator will yield better results</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Reliance Jio entry into Indian Telecom sector started creating
scenario wherein incumbent operators are at the spot.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Latest in the saga, Reliance Jio again approached TRAI and
accused Airtel,Vodafone and Idea for blocking users who wants to port out of
their existing service providers to Reliance Jio network. The number involved in total is less than 200
and that shows Reliance Jio commitment towards their potential user.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the same time, incumbent cannot let the user port out of
the network till the guideline of the Mobile Number Portability set by TRAI. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Indian incumbent operators faced the music of MNP and how
end user exploited it in 2012 to 2014 era
wherein user took the service of one operator with goodies and then
ported out to another one post exhausting the goodies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In 2012 to 2014 era challengers like Telenor and others used MNP in their favor and
acquire millions of user but unfortunately most of the user were low ARPU user.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is surprising that based on the reports published in
leading new paper not mentioned Aircel,
Reliance Communication and other which in my point bring me to a conclusion
that Reliance Jio is only facing problems with three leading incumbent
operator. It would be great to know about BSNL user requesting for porting out
and it's status.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The real test of porting in and out using MNP will show its
class post Reliance Jio start commercial service. Till Dec 31 st 2016 most of
the Indian mobile users will try to misuse Reliance Jio service as it is free.
I am also delighted that this time around Reliance Jio is so focused about
consumer but at the end consumers are suffering. If any legitimate user trying
to port out then they should not be used as dice to play competitive strategy.
It's a common practice by operator to put across many clause as some of the end
user through their past act forced incumbent operators to put across multiple
clause related to exit. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For few, mass is suffering and both incumbent and Reliance
Jio should solve it the way they did it with PoI</div>
</div>

<br />
Apple came out with iPhone 7 series with different storage option and color sold out completely. As per the report, jet black color attracted maximum buyers. Today Apple new products will hit the store but unfortunately most of the buyer can't buy it but still can place orders.<br />
<br />
As predicted earlier in my article, <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/09/apple-iphone7-launch-expecting-radical.html" target="_blank">the kind of enhancement Apple integrated</a>, the products are bound to be super successful.<br />
<br />
It will be very interesting to see how Smart watch sells goes through which is integrated with pokemon go as well ad Nike branded one.<br />
<br />
In my point of view, as I predicted in my articles that <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/09/apple-showed-its-innovative-class.html" target="_blank">price points are really attractive for Apple fan as well as New buyers.</a><br />
<br />
Apple also released the price point of accessories and will attract additional revenue with huge margin.<br />
<br />
The controlled ecosystem wherein they sell hardware, software,services and accessories are the basis of Apple differentiation in the marketplace as buyers trust brand as well ad quality.<br />
<br />
I believe that this time around Apple will not release their sales through Prebooking but am sure that it will be super duper sales.<br />

Smartphone Player's<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TkFggAbncqA/V9psjksVRqI/AAAAAAAABik/GmJGQVF3BLUpQNhLsxv7SNwgYgYNphiHACLcB/s1600/smartphone-user-main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="354" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TkFggAbncqA/V9psjksVRqI/AAAAAAAABik/GmJGQVF3BLUpQNhLsxv7SNwgYgYNphiHACLcB/s640/smartphone-user-main.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Indian VAS ecosystem
witnessed turbulent time for the last 5 years post MVAS regulations. Indian
regulatory body came out with MVAS regulation to protect Indian mobility user
and imposed number of authentication and authorization process in order to kill
unwarranted billing to end consumer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The double consent mechanism
implementation knocked down Mobile Operator VAS business and Mobile Operator
witnessed de-growth in the segment. The entry of OTT players especially the
messaging players killed flourishing SMS business which include P2P, A2P and
P2A. The sudden move by regulatory body knocked out many VAS players from the
market whereas some other segment like Music, gaming etc witnessed tough time
retaining the consumer and generating revenue out of them. The revenue share
model between Mobile Service Provider's and Content Provider's also made the
business sustainability more difficult.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
While the transition was
happening during MVAS regulation implementation; India started witnessing
adoption of Smartphone in Early 2012. It offered huge window of opportunity for
the VAS player to acquire user through indirect channel. Many companies from
content, music, gaming turned towards Smartphone players to acquire new user.
Smartphone player's captured the opportunities with both hands and started
selling their inventories in return of space asked by the VAS providers. Some
of the Smartphone players even integrated FOTA solution from leading FOTA
service providers in order to ensure that they can mint money through existing
consumer base. The unprecedented growth in the startup segment in early 2013
made Smartphone player the darling of all. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The limited space in the device
and limited leading Smartphone players made the situation worse when Smartphone
player started asking for hefty price point to integrate any VAS services or
applications without any commitment of user adoption, retention, usages etc.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Many startup companies poured in
many million $ in order to get the userbase without any solid business case to
retrieve the invested money and disappeared after some time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In 4G era VAS it will be very
interesting to see how the VAS ecosystem pans out between Mobile Service
Providers and Smartphone Players. Smartphone players are coming out with higher
RAM and ROM which can sustain heavy load and may offer good consumer experience
provided consumer gets better network coverage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the same time, Many Mobile
service provider started developing their own VAS ecosystem and went to market
to acquire users like the other applications. The only differentiation what
Mobile Service Provider implemented is the monetization part. Mobile Service
provider now acts as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-added_service" target="_blank">VAS </a>aggregators which can be delivered through the
applications to consumer based on the consumer wish coupled with monetization
mechanism. In my point of view, it will help Mobile Service Providers to offer
both value add to end consumer as they can offer multiple option compared to
Smartphone players.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Mobile Service Providers are
struggling with high cost of service and it is expected that they will be
offering virtualized VAS ecosystem to end consumer and Reliance Jio and Bharti
Airtel successfully demonstrated that through their number of applications
which they can sell while selling the SIM to end consumer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On a contrary, Smartphone players
also started focusing on developing their own VAS ecosystem instead of relying
on others for small amount. Smartphone players also trying to develop recurring
revenue model based VAS platform and some of the are even successful doing so.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, the low DAU, MAU,
Revenue per user are pushing Applications providers to take another route of
user acquisition model as Smartphone players dont know who will be buying the
product, what are their liking and in that scenario, selling a device the
preloaded applications will definitely yield bad result.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I think that Mobile Service
Provider's will again take the centre stage and am confident that they will
witness the revival of their VAS business in coming Quarters</div>

Today good news came out from
Apple for India. Based on reports Apple went ahead and cut the price of iPhone
6, iPhone 6s by 22000 INR for their 128 GB devices whereas SE attracted around
9% price cut.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As iPhone 7 series phone launch
is around the corner and pre booking is underway; the move is going to give the
end user an opportunity to grab it. It will also help Apple to clear it
inventory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As we all know that Apple
struggled a bit in India as it only caters HNI or prosumer and this move is
going to make the device more competitive against their competitors like
Samsung, Sony, LG and others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It will also help e-Commerce
company to attract more customer during the holiday season but at the end main
beneficiary will be Apple whereas the competitor will be forced to cut the
price points to be competitive. It also indicate that, what is the margin
attached with Apple device and the reason of their mind blowing profitability.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It's an opportunity for Indian
iPhone fan to grab the opportunity</div>

<br />
Indian Smartphone segment is
changing very dynamically both on the specifications and price point side. One
Smartphone player is trying to throw the another. All developed a perception that Indian Smartphone segment
will witness double digit growth and that prompted many new player including
Chinese as well as heavy weight<a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/06/reliance-jio-launching-4g-network-lyf.html" target="_blank"> Reliance Industry LYF device</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the past two quarter, there is
constant change in market share and example of the same is "LYF"
Smartphone. Post the launch of Reliance Jio service, LYF brand launched 1GB RAM
device as well as 512 MB RAM devices carrying a maximum price tag of around $55
to $65. It created a buzz in the market and most of the new 4G user registering
with Reliance Jio buying low end user as the USP set by Reliance Jio attracting
low earning group.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In order to match the set
threshold, Zen Mobile Launched 512MB RAM device in just over INR 3000 whereas
Karbonn Mobile is known for entry level Smartphone. At the same time, Intex is
one of the popular brand in$80 to $100 range.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Given the trend, its my
prediction that Indian Smartphone market will be dominated by 1GB RAM device
which will not be sufficient to give good 4G user experience given multiple
tradeoff.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ultimately, it will also impact
the adoption of VAS services and associated revenue around it. In 2014 - 2015,
Smartphone player earning at an average of $2 per device from VAS which will
not be the game given the quality of video and HD quality as it will consume
higher processing power.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0M-um5eVPA/V9keMGvqIfI/AAAAAAAABhY/wvfxKGEnWY4sANPvrn3JV0g-hHA83oWKACLcB/s1600/M_Id_485404_Flagship.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0M-um5eVPA/V9keMGvqIfI/AAAAAAAABhY/wvfxKGEnWY4sANPvrn3JV0g-hHA83oWKACLcB/s640/M_Id_485404_Flagship.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Indian Mobile Device market is
witnessing major dynamic shift. Most of the device manufacturer are focusing on
Smartphone and invest millions of $ in advertisement to promote their device
whereas plays out with very low operating margin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Post "Make for India"
initiative initiated by Government of India, most of the domestic and
international device manufacturers opened their factories or bought the
assembly line from existing manufacturers
to ensure that they get the benefits announced by the government.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Indian Smartphone sell just
crossed 100 million per annum which is only 10% of the total wireless user
whereas command round 36% of the total device shipped in an year. It is
interesting to note that there are more than 150 known and unknown Smartphone
players operating in India and strongly feel that feature phone user will
eventually move to Smartphone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In my point of view, Smartphone
players should correlated the earning dynamics of Indian population including
poverty. They should also consider the average balance on normal device user
and one will be surprised that it is even less than $1.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In a rush to capture Smartphone segment,
most of the players are not monetizing feature phone or not investing in new
features attached with Feature phone except some of the VAS player who provides
games and WAP service. The Common comment from all that feature phone is having
space constraint but if they want they can remove that constraint.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In any circumstances if Device
manufacturer wants to make their venture successful then they must focus on
feature phone and should also consider creating virtual VAS center. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
How it can be done is simple and
for that one should invest research $.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qv5ppHW4KOw/V9kIZLG_aHI/AAAAAAAABgs/G7iL3mSzq1EEq5UY-cqV86Qg28TCFI5TgCLcB/s1600/vodafone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qv5ppHW4KOw/V9kIZLG_aHI/AAAAAAAABgs/G7iL3mSzq1EEq5UY-cqV86Qg28TCFI5TgCLcB/s640/vodafone.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Vodafone India was on the verge
of filing for IPO to recover its investment as well as to reduce mounting debt.
Reliance Jio service launched shattered their plan as Vodafone clearly
understand the impact of Jio tariff plan on their potential IPO offer price.
There are lots of apprehension in the market place about <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/09/is-jio-and-incumbent-operators-like.html" target="_blank">incumbent like Airtel,Vodafone or Ideacellular</a> to ward off Reliance Jio competition.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Recently <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2014/02/why-one-should-invest-in-bharti-airtel.html" target="_blank">Airtel announced that they will invest around $9Bn </a>to upgrade their network and Idea Cellular will
definitely get the support from the promoters in the form of equity infusion or
loan to go full fledged against Reliance Jio with aggressive price point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As per the news reports Reliance
Jio initiated call drops are on the rise as incumbent has to provide more PoI
and that will take few weeks to be in place. Its universal truth that Reliance
group of companies most of the time use their petro finance to suppress
competitor and sometime throw them out of the market. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In case of Indian Telecom market
place, Reliance Jio is going to face stiff competition from incumbent operator
the way new entrant faced in 2012-2013 time frame. By embarking $3Bn fund
Vodafone sent out clear signal to industry player that they will be very
aggressive in acquiring required spectrum to cover all 4G circle. We should not
forget that Vodafone Plc the parent of Vodafone India is pioneer in 4G network
know how and time to time support Indian operation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is also expected that once the
concurrent <a href="http://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/reliance-jio-customer-base-at-5-lakh-says-network-optimisation-delaying-launch/51949126" target="_blank">userbase increases on Reliance Jio network</a> then their partner from
ccc will face music to cater the traffic and there might be problem in
scenario 1 when the content hosted at partners end. On the other side, if
content is hosted at Reliance Jio data center then it will be incremental streaming
cost for Reliance Jio</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The intention of <a href="http://www.vodafone.in/home-mumbai?section=consumer" target="_blank">Vodafone India</a>
is very straight and clear that Reliance Jio should struggle with one or
another problem till the time Reliance Jio launches their service commercially.
All are expecting that post commercial launch Churn rate at Reliance Jio will
be maximum given their past experience.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At one end Reliance Jio is also
raising 15K Crore whereas the
competitors like Airtel and Vodafone is also showing their financial muscle and
it will be interesting game moving forward but will dent Reliance Jio more than
anyone else.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GfaSf2Kbz0w/V9jt0uszVyI/AAAAAAAABgc/28PgnUtyuzQQO_dX-HnaFb9poZwN_4FmQCLcB/s1600/oppo-vivo-top-5-smartphone-vendors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GfaSf2Kbz0w/V9jt0uszVyI/AAAAAAAABgc/28PgnUtyuzQQO_dX-HnaFb9poZwN_4FmQCLcB/s640/oppo-vivo-top-5-smartphone-vendors.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lull in Chinese domestic market forced them to a situation where the factory shut down was imminent. At that point of time Oppo and Vivo entered Indian Smartphone market without any knowledge of Indian domestic market adoption trend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most the management were from head office landed them in tight spot and they failed to gain any traction in the first year of operation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Post first taste of failure both the companies quickly changed their strategy and inducted seasoned Indian Professionals to represent them in the market place whereas head office kept the key of major decision making process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being cash rich company at corporate level, both the organization embarked aggressive advertisement plan with open budget to ensure that the awareness about their brand reaches to masses even though their product line caters mid to high end Smartphone user segment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The flood of sponsorship of different event worked and at the same time, they successfully placed their device in offline channel which propelled extraordinary growth in volume sale.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brands which struggled at one point of time are now flooded everywhere at very competitive price point. For that both the organization team member deserve appreciation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But at the same time, one should also consider the profitability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In intensely competitive Smartphone segment where net margin ranges between 1.5% to 10 % given the brand and what premium brand can command. Sustained profitability is big question mark. In my point of view both Oppo and Vivo gained market share but don't think they ever made profit in their Indian operation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the day Profitability count for the shareholders compared to volume. It's the right time for both the organization to recalibrate their business model to ensure profitability as brand recognition is already in place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In point of view, human memories are very short when it comes to brand and moves to other brand in no time. We should learn that from brand like Ericsson handset, Nokia, Siemens etc. How many of us remember the innovators of mobility world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will be interesting to see how both the brand do when they reduce buying Smartphone user by throwing advertisement $. As conclusion they can't keep throwing advertisement money and will be forced to reduce it at one or another point of time and at that point of time real adoption trend can be analysed. Till then we should not expect them to be profitable.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ztIPxDJvKSs/V9flXhsy1gI/AAAAAAAABfc/Nz7CXeRGXPgOLhj_9RTFMtutwEhPD5hvgCLcB/s1600/micromax-new-logo-bgr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ztIPxDJvKSs/V9flXhsy1gI/AAAAAAAABfc/Nz7CXeRGXPgOLhj_9RTFMtutwEhPD5hvgCLcB/s640/micromax-new-logo-bgr.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The trouble within Micromax is
not going. The turbulent time started few months back when the High Profile Ex-CO
of Bharti Airtel Sanjay Kapoor was forced to move out of the company
Chairmanship followed by Vineet Taneja as CEO. The promoter of the company
Mr.Rahul Sharma retook the charge and started pulling back his old team and
Ajay was part of that move.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, Ajay resigned nine
months post rejoining Micromax and all credits goes to dwindling sales of
Micromax devices. Micromax is continuously losing market share aggressive
Chinese player like Oppo, Vivo, Gionee, Oneplus, Xiaomi and Indian Brand like LYF</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In my point of view it is not far
when LYF brand will be number 2 Smartphone player in India and gain credit goes
to Reliance Jio utmost wish to dominate the market and entering into it without
showing the true intention of business. They quickly captured the market and
took everyone offguarded. While everyone were busy in developing Smartphone
which can run on Reliance Jio network; LYF brand sweep the market and shocked
the players like Micromax, Intex etc.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The month over month fall must be
the reason for Ajay fallout with Micromax. </div>
</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZD6nZ--w6nw/V9fSCC7_OQI/AAAAAAAABfM/Re6q_Kaf3pwe3CZNvtmstM1aGzf0ydhtgCLcB/s1600/Reliance-Jio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZD6nZ--w6nw/V9fSCC7_OQI/AAAAAAAABfM/Re6q_Kaf3pwe3CZNvtmstM1aGzf0ydhtgCLcB/s640/Reliance-Jio.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
In a major deadlock between
Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, today both the organization signed bilateral
agreement which will pave the way for<a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/business/companies/reliance-jio-vs-telecos-trai-meets-both-settle-poi-matter-bilaterally-3023249/" target="_blank"> Bharti Airtel to offer hundred of PoI to Reliance Jio</a>. As per the reports, financial aspects are not released but it is
evident that Reliance Jio must be offering higher price point for the
termination on Airtel Network or Reliance Jio must have given other commitment
to share their infrastructure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The speed of discussion and
conclusion of agreement indicate that both the parties realized to take a path
of reconciliation instead of conflicting with each other. It will also help
Reliance Jio to get the deal done with other incumbent operators.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Is a good news for Reliance Jio
user and their user experience and at the same time Incumbent Operator put
across their concern on the table. Airtel also realized that post the
commercial launch from 1st Jan 2017, the Call volume terminating on their
network will go down dramatically as Indian user are very good in using free
service to the maximum level.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It will be very interesting now
to see the battle of acquiring new user as well as retaining the userbase. I
expect that in next two to three weeks Reliance Jio will experience drastic
fall in call drop whereas Incumbent will get time to recalibrate their
marketing strategy to attract new user or retain existing user.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the end, it's a win for Indian

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jjWl31A46Hc/V9fI6AKQDpI/AAAAAAAABe4/JALu8-Uf7CcofxUIZKUS2-eV1f1XSXj_wCLcB/s1600/ee-1450854612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="481" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jjWl31A46Hc/V9fI6AKQDpI/AAAAAAAABe4/JALu8-Uf7CcofxUIZKUS2-eV1f1XSXj_wCLcB/s640/ee-1450854612.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For the last 6 months, there is
buzz in the market place that Reliance Communications and Aircel is joining
hand to fight with big players as well as face Reliance Jio Onslaught
collectively. Both the organization is reeling under huge debt and constantly
losing market share. The fund constraints also put them in tight spot to
innovate new products in order to
differentiate themselves.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As per the industry news, both
the organization will own 50% each and company will have thousands of Crores of
loans on their books. If the merger goes through then there will be major
realignment will happen in both the organization and biggest loser will be
employees of both the organization.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On the market competition side,
both the organization is very confident that they will be better placed to ward
off any competition including <a href="https://www.jio.com/" target="_blank">Reliance Jio </a>and will gain market share. They are
also claiming that their revenue market share will grow from the current level
of around 12%.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In my point of view, Reliance
Communications failed to increase their wireless business for the last 3 to 4
years with stagnated revenue but their debt level went beyond their control.
<a href="http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/home/index.html" target="_blank">Reliance Communications </a>is also well known for their poor customer care. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the partner working with
Reliance Communications also face issues in integration due to legacy network
and innovation is completely missing. The recent move by Reliance
Communications to force millions of user to port on to 4G dented their image. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If the merger goes through then
there will be distraction within management level of both the organizations as
both the parties will be busy in realignment of business, product line,
regulatory etc and that will open an opportunity of window for incumbent
operators like Airtel, Vodafone and Ideacellular . </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Reliance and Aircel on collective
basis is having more than 60 million data user as well as around 7 to 8
Millions of prepaid userbase.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I also would like to point out
that many user still remember the very poor service offered by Reliance when
<a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/mukesh-ambani-ushers-in-telecom-revolution-reliance-jio-to-launch-services-on-september-5/articleshow/53970531.cms" target="_blank">Mr.Mukesh Ambani launched telecom service </a>with number of complaint on billing
side and that is the reason that i have not considered Reliance Jio in the
race.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
All of us are talking about
Reliance Jio impact on Airtel or Vodafone or IdeaCellular but missed to
identify the opportunity lying in front of them. <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/merger-with-aircel-likely-this-week-after-reliance-communications-board-meeting/articleshow/54302757.cms" target="_blank">Read More</a></div>

Recently<a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/tcs-profit-warning-jolts-tech-counter-top-5-firms-lose-rs-34000-cr-in-m-cap/articleshow/54163648.cms" target="_blank"> TCS came out the profit warning</a> and sent out shock waves across investor community. TCS is known for meeting profit forecast or beating it. Even though TCS tried to deflect the severity of the situation by pointing out that one or two sectors are performing below expectations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all should know that multi billion $ IT contract is under renewal which Indian IT companies are managing or developing. The competitor landscape changed completely in the 5 years and it is expected that clients will go for renegotiation on servicing price point.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently <a href="https://www.infosys.com/" target="_blank">Infosys</a> shocked the market with an announcement that they lost one of the contract worth $200 MN. We as an investor should be ready to digest more negative news from IT companies.Needless to say that the change in market dynamic and continuous pressure on TCS Profit margin is going to led slow resource hiring or recalibration of existing resources or layoff. It will be having cascading impact on smaller IT companies. At the same time Startup ecosystem is also facing funding issue and layoff is on the rise. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my point of view, Indian IT giant should transform their business and should be more focused to come out with their own products. The resources associated with these IT giants are superb in potentials and managed many complex project. If IT giant decide to come out with sector specific product line then only they will be able to sustain their growth. Sitting on multi billion $ cash, I don't think that they need to raise money to develop product. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recent announcement is just the warning bell and still it's not late for IT giant to change their strategy to become product, platform company</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Post Honorable Narendra Modi took
<a href="http://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/" target="_blank">India Prime Minister</a> charge, many analyst were very skeptical about his foreign
policy. Most of them came out very openly and suggested that he is going to
fail given his outreach mechanism of visiting as many as countries possible.
The opposition parties also questioned the cost involved to it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
During the foreign visit, Mr.
Prime Minister played first dice by meeting NRI's in townhall as shared his
thought. He successfully demonstrated that he is with them and with Indian
people and trying hard to fix the problem attached with social India especially
in the social sector.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
During visits, he realized that
all countries want to come to India post his meeting with business Tycoon of
respective countries and he came out with " <a href="http://www.makeinindia.com/home" target="_blank">Make In India</a>" initiative
with a clause of local investment too including in the social sector. Which
brought many companies from respective countries to India and he asked his
office that no red tape should be faced by the incoming companies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
He strategically opened <a href="http://www.livemint.com/Industry/MqTrPlsdKy1D0YUGnVfygI/What-does-100-FDI-in-defence-mean.html" target="_blank">Defence sector with FDI</a> and that brought many companies knocking on India door. The
Defence sector in all countries are the biggest lobbyist and that brought US to
come closer to India. The recent South China Flash point brought Japan, South
Korea ,and US closer to India as they felt that India can be an ally in the
region. At the same time terrorist attacks in Europe union countries gave him
the opportunity to attract all of them in his kitty.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The recent offers from <a href="http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/india-us-deepen-defense-ties-with-landmark-agreement-1452220" target="_blank">US on themilitary collaborations</a>, Russia closeness with India, France unconditional
support to India . The recent military drill with US is a testimony of growing
confidence on India and especially post G20 which concluded recently, India is
now the central talking point and main driver against unwarranted element.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I would like to congratulated
Honorable Mr. Narendra Modi to take India as Central attraction point

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Amazon for the last six month
showed their calibrated onslaught on Indian e-Commerce startup with open wallet
and changed the dynamics of <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/06/the-ongoing-indication-from-indian-e.html" target="_blank">Indian E-Commerce segment.</a> The downturn in funding
to e-Commerce companies and valuation marked down by many investor led investor
confidence loss on the</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">business model of
Indian e-Commerce companies which relies on discount to generate sale.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The burn rate of Indian
E-Commerce segment is too high and there is no profitability in sight. Flipkart
lost many high profile resource whereas Snapdeal faced increasing challenge to
attract big names to use their platform. It's not important that how many
sellers are there on the platform but its more important that how the brands
are getting attached with the platform.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Based on the newpaper report,
<a href="http://www.businesstoday.in/current/corporate/snapdeal-lines-up-a-rs-200-crore-marketing-campaign-for-diwali/story/236432.html" target="_blank">SnapDeal embarked 200 Crore</a> to go for brand facelift so that they attract
brands on their portal. It's a fact that most of the e-commerce companies are
generating most of the GMV through electronics and the competition is so
intense that the chance of profitability is near to zero but to ensure that
user buys the product from the platform, e-commerce companies are offering
discounts. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.snapdeal.com/" target="_blank">SnapDeal</a> also bought many
analytical companies to recharge companies in order to integrate it with the
central platform to differentiate themselves from the competitors but they
failed to achieve the same for one or another reason. They completely failed to
monetize their platform through alternative revenue stream and i should say
that all the e-commerce companies in India failed in that segment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The much delayed advertisement
blitz is not going to help SnapDeal much to change their fortune but they can
do so if they invest half of the embarked budget in enhancing their platform
and go full blown user acquisition in disruptive model.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I would love to <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/08/how-ongoing-pain-in-e-commerce-segment.html" target="_blank">see Indiane-Commerce companies grow and be successful</a> but the prospects are bleak as the
number of buyers on e-commerce portals are limited and still retail segment is
very strong. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Even though I wish SnapDeal all
the best and hoping that they will come back strongly.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Based on the reports published in Economic Times, TRAI
offered their intentions clear by sending out feeler that they are not going to
allow <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/09/is-jio-and-incumbent-operators-like.html" target="_blank">Incumbent Operator such as Airtel , Vodafone, Ideacellular and others</a> to
ask for higher termination fee. They also indicated that Incumbent operators
must provide required number of point of interconnect to Reliance Jio.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I am not wrong, <a href="http://www.technologyandstrategyhub.com/2016/09/trai-failed-attempt-to-bridge.html" target="_blank">TRAI few days back released an statement</a>
that they recommended the concerned parties to resolve the concerns through
talks. They also pointed out that in case both the parties will fail to come to
common agreement then only TRAI is going to intervene.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since Economic Times came out with the report and if I
believe on that report then I want to ask TRAI very simple query that "
<a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/were-not-against-free-access-to-websites-were-saying-cant-use-differential-pricing-architecture-trai-chairman/" target="_blank">How TRAI came to conclusion that talks will yield no result</a>". " Why
they are not focusing on revenue loss which will be incurred by Government
given the impact of low per minute realization.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the end its my assessment and i might be wrong that India
is a place where the single agenda of regulators are to squeeze out player.
Regulators must realize that any degradation of <a href="http://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/reliance-jio-entry-makes-incumbents-worry-about-financial-health/54058177" target="_blank">Incumbent mobile operator financial health</a> means job losses, more NPA, impact on IT sector, Impact on
Startups and loss of government revenue and more importantly another recession.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Its a right saying in India that If I am happy then rest
happy; If I am sad then rest should be sad. Dear regulators please wake up...</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Post
the TRAI initiated discussion to break the impasse between Jio and Incumbent
operator resulted with next step. TRAI directed both the side to talk with each
other and come out with solution. Incumbent Operator clearly stated that the
traffic received by Incumbent from Reliance Jio is of asymmetrical nature and
the cost per min for the terminating the Reliance Jio traffic should be paisa
30 instead of current termination charge of paisa 20.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">It
is clear that Reliance Jio will never agree to increase the price point which
is being asked by the incumbent operator. Any increase in termination charges
will adversely impact Reliance Jio business case whereas will hugely favor
incumbent business case as the termination charges will be closer to net
realization by the operator per min. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">It
is obvious that post the failure of talks, TRAI will come out and release an
order which will be much lower than paisa 30 which will be protested by
incumbent operators especially Airtel, Vodafone, Ideacellular in Court. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The
moment any party goes to court will immediately put Reliance Jio request as
status quo and at the same time Reliance Jio service experience by the end user
will be bad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
