DoT revises mandate on location based services
Following Indian telecom companies’ inability to achieve location based services (LBS)
standard as per government guidelines, Department of Telecommunication (DoT) hasrevised the LBS norms for India. Data regarding LBS accuracy percentage and distance
were revised to make it more realistic. Failing to meet the DoT’s deadline of May 31, 2012for the deployment of LBS, earlier some mobile operators termed the mandate as
‘impossible’ to achieve. The operators informed that no relevant solution could be found
o handle both GSM and CDMA. They also expressed confusion over who will sustain thet
costs of implementation.
As per the revised norms, telecom operators in urban areas need to implement LBS with
accuracy of 30% in less than 50 meters, 60% in less than 100 meters and 80% in lessthan 300 meters by the end of the first year of implementation. Telecom operators in sub‐
urban and rural areas will have to achieve LBS accuracy of 50% in less than 300 metersand 60% in less than 500 meters by the end of the first year as well. For remote areas the
LBS accuracy target has been set to 50% in less than 300 metres and 60% in less than
00 meters by the end of the second year. The implementation has to be carried out by5
the telecom operators, baring all the expenses associated with the same.
Despite of the revised guidelines, achieving the same for LBS in the country seems to beloomy due to the possible high cost of implementation that requires to be taken care of
y the telecom operators solely.

market
– Sunil Lalva
Director – Enterprise Sales, RIM India “If you look at the market from the smartphone perspective, the Indian market is still
under penetrated, and there is a lot of potential. All the third party analyst reports
indicate that, at least for the next four years, we will continue to see a surge in
smartphone growth. From our perspective, when we analyze the user base, we find that the early adopters have been enterprises, especially large ones. Over the last couple of
years, the prices of the smartphones have come down and SMBs also realize that thesedevices can be reliable tools for business enablement. As the affordability factor has gone
up, SMBs are increasingly adopting smartphones and they want to know what business
productivity applications they can use on their BlackBerry device. These companies are
typically known to have common requirements including email on the move,ollaboration tools, instant messaging and any kind of application that can help eliminate
he need to buy laptops for the workforce.”

Only way out for the telecom sector is to basically go for tariff hikes – Sanjay Chawla, Senior Telecom Analyst, JM Financial "A lot of the margin pressure is due to the fact that there is still a lot of competition which
is getting to a pricing pressure. Secondly, there is some underlying inflation‐related cost
push which is also hurting the margins. The only way out for the sector in our view is to
basically go for tariff hikes because with these kinds of tariff hikes and this kind of ragmented industry structure and the overall inflationary environment, these kinds of
argins may go down even further. So tariff hike is the only way out for the sector."
