2. INTRODUCTION
Industry Introduction:
India's telecommunication network is the second largest in the world based on the total
number of telephone users (both fixed and mobile phone). It has one of the lowest call
tariffs in the world enabled by the mega telephone networks and hyper competition
among them. It has the world's third largest Internet user base. According to the Internet
And Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), the Internet user base in the country stood
at 190 million at the end of June, 2013.
Major sectors of the Indian telecommunication industry are telephony, internet and
television broadcast Industry in the country which is in an ongoing process of
transforming into next generation network, employs an extensive system of modern
network elements such as digital telephone exchanges, mobile switching Centre’s,
media gateways and signaling gateways at the core, interconnected by a wide variety
of transmission systems using fiber optics or Microwave radio relay networks. The
access network, which connects the subscriber to the core, is highly diversified with
different copper pair, optic fiber and wireless technologies. DTH, a relatively new
broadcasting technology has attained significant popularity in the Television segment.
The introduction of private FM has given a fillip to the radio broadcasting in India.
Telecommunication in India has greatly been supported by the INSAT system of the
country, one of the largest domestic satellite systems in the world. India possesses a
diversified communications system, which links all parts of the country by telephone,
Internet, radio, television and satellite. Indian telecom industry underwent a high pace
of market liberalization and growth since the 1990s and now has become the world's
most competitive and one of the fastest growing telecom markets. The Industry has
grown over twenty times in just ten years, from under 37 million subscribers in the year
2001 to over 1,002 million subscribers in the year 2015

Telephony:
The telephony segment is dominated by private sector and two state run Businesses.
Most companies were formed by a recent revolution and restructuring launched within
a decade, directed by Ministry of Communications and IT, Department of
Telecommunications and Minister of Finance. Since then, most companies gained 2G,
3G and 4G licenses and engaged fixed line, mobile and internet business in India. On
landlines, intracircle calls are considered local calls while intercircle are considered
long distance calls. Foreign Direct Investment policy which increased the foreign
ownership cap from 49% to 74%.Now it is 100%. The Government is working to
integrate the whole country in one telecom circle. For long distance calls, the area code
prefixed with a zero is dialed first which is then followed by the number (i.e., to call
Delhi, 011 would be dialed first followed by the phone number). For international calls,
"00" must be dialed first followed by the country code, area code and local phone
10
number. The country code for India is 91. Several international fiber optic links include
those to Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Russia, and Germany. Some major telecom
operators in India include Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Aircel, BSNL, MTNL, Reliance
Communications, TATA Teleservices, Infotel, MTS, Uninor, TATA DoCoMo,
Videocon, Augere, Tikona
Wireless Internet:
2nd Generation Internet is the most prevalent in India in the Past Decade. Wireless ISPs
in India use both CDMA and Edge technologies for 2G.
India's wireless Internet frequencies are
2G: GSM 900 MHz, GSM 1800 MHz

Broadcasting:
Television broadcasting began in India in 1959 by Doordarshan, a state run medium of
communication, and had slow expansion for more than two decades.[57] The policy
reforms of the government in the 1990s attracted private initiatives in this sector, and
since then, satellite television has increasingly shaped popular culture and Indian
society. However, still, only the government owned Doordarshan has the license for
terrestrial television broadcast. Private companies reach the public using satellite
11
channels both cable television as well as DTH has obtained a wide subscriber base in
India. In 2012, India had about 148 million TV homes of which 126 million has access
to cable and satellite services.
3. Organization Introduction
Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (commonly called RJIL) is an Indian Internet access
(commonly called “broadband”) and telecommunications company headquartered in
Mumbai, India. RJIL is a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), India’s
largest private sector company, is the first telecom operator to hold pan India Unified
License. This license authorizes RJIL to provide all telecommunication services except
Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite. Company holds Universal
Service License and is the only pan India operator with Broadband Wireless Access
(‘BWA’) spectrum for commercial Long-Term Evolution (LTE) services across 22
circles capable of offering fourth generation (4G) LTE wireless services across India.
Reliance Jio is setting up a pan India telecom infrastructure to provide fourth generation
4G LTE TDD high speed wireless internet and mobile communication services which
may be launched by June 2015. The company is in process to set-up the 4G LTE
infrastructure which will also be an enabler for a portfolio of rich multi-media digital
services including education, health-care, entertainment, payment and cloud services
for millions of individuals, homes and businesses across India.
RJIL holds spectrum in 1800 MHz (across 14 circles) and 2300 MHz (across 22 circles)
capable of offering fourth generation (4G) wireless services. RJIL plans to provide
seamless 4G services using FDD-LTE on 1800 MHz and TDD-LTE on 2300 MHz
through an integrated ecosystem.
RJIL is setting up a pan India telecom network to provide to the highly underserviced
India market, reliable (4th generation) high speed internet connectivity, rich
communication services and various digital services on pan India basis in key domains
such as education, healthcare, security, financial services, government citizen interfaces
and entertainment. RJIL aims to provide anytime, anywhere access to innovative and
empowering digital content, applications and services, thereby propelling India into
global leadership in digital economy.
12
RJIL is also deploying an enhanced packet core network to create futuristic high
capacity infrastructure to handle huge demand for data and voice. In addition to high
speed data, the 4G network will provide voice services from / to non-RJIL networks.
Reliance Jio is part of the “Bay Of Bengal Gateway” Cable System, planned to provide
connectivity between South East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East, and also to
Europe, Africa and to the Far East Asia through interconnections with other existing
and newly built cable systems landing in India, the Middle East and Far East Asia.
RJIL’s subsidiary has been awarded with a Facility Based Operator License (“FBO
License”) in Singapore which will allow it to buy, operate and sell undersea and/or
terrestrial fibre connectivity, setup its internet point of presence, offer internet transit
and peering services as well as data and voice roaming services in Singapore.
RJIL has finalized key agreements with its technology partners, service providers,
infrastructure providers, application partners, device manufacturers and other strategic
partners for the project. These strategic partners have committed significant resources,
know-how and global talent to support planning, deployment and testing activities
currently underway.

fiber-pair kilometers of optic fiber and 500,000 fiber pair kilometers
respectively (April 2013 / April 2014), and 45,000 towers (June 2013)
Technology:
Reliance Jio Infocomm is currently laying OFC across the country to offer
Fiber to the home/premises (FTTH). This fiber backbone will also help them
to carry huge amount of data originated from their 4G network as well as public
Wi-Fi network.
Reliance Jio is deploying LTE-TDD technology for 2.3 GHz spectrum band,
acquired in 2010.
Reliance Jio will deploy LTE-FDD for 1.8 GHz spectrum, which will
ultimately paved to roll out of LTE-A network aggregation of both technology
and both spectrum band.
At present in different cities of India Reliance Jio offers Wi-Fi services. Most
of these cities are in Gujarat, where Reliance Industries also have one of the
largest petro-refinery.
Once commercially launched, Jio users can have access to Reliance
Communications’ 2G & 3G network.
INDIA
Bharti Airtel launched India's first 4G service, using TD-LTE technology, in
Kolkata on 10 April 2012.[73] On June 2013 prior to the official launch in Kolkata, a
group consisting of China Mobile, Bharti Airtel and Soft Bank Mobile came together,
called Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) in Barcelona, Spain and they signed the
14
commitment towards TD-LTE standards for the Asian region. It must be noted that
Bharti Airtel's 4G network does not support mainstream 4G phones such as Samsung
Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Galaxy S4 and others.
Bharti Airtel 4G services are available in Kolkata, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad,
Visakhapatnam and Chandigarh region (The Tricity or Chandigarh region
consists of a major city Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula). Since May 2015,
Airtel had also partnered with Samsung India to introduce 4G services in
Chennai, on a trial basis.
RIL is launching 4G services through its subsidiary, Jio Infocomm. RIL 4G
services are currently available only in Jamnagar, where it is testing the new
TD-LTE technology. Reliance's 4G rollout is planned to start in Delhi, Mumbai
and Kolkata and expand to cover 700 cities, including 100 high-priority markets
in 2015.
Bharti Airtel launched 4G on mobiles in Bangalore, thus becoming the first in
India to offer such a service on 14th Feb, 2014
Bharti Airtel in July 2014, expanded 4G services to many cities in Punjab like
Amritsar, Patiala, Hoshiarpur, Ajitgarh, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Phagwara and
Kapurthala Until July 2014, Customers in these cities access 4G services
through dongles and Wi-Fi modems on Apple iPhone 5S and 5C, XOLO LT
900 and LG G2 (model D802T).
Aircel in July 2014, launched 4G in four circles Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar
and Odisha.
India uses 2.3 GHz frequency
Tikona Digital Networks holds broadband wireless access spectrum in the 2300 MHz
band and is waiting for the appropriate time and maturity of the 4G ecosystem before
making a foray into the space. Tikona holds 4G spectrum licenses in five circles in
northwest India, covering Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh (East and West) and
Himachal Pradesh.
Introduction of Goods & services:
The fourth generation of wireless standards for cellular systems is 4G, the planned
successor to the 3G standard. The ITU (International Telecommunications Union) has
specified that the peak speed requirements for the 4G standard are to be 100Mbps for a
mobile connection (such as in a car) and 1Gbps for stationary connections (such as
sitting at a computer). 4G services that meet these requirements are not publically
15
available yet (as of June 2011) but telecommunications providers are looking to
upgrade their infrastructure to cater for 4G services in the not too distant future. The
4G service is set to offer a fast and secure all-IP, roaming mobile broadband solution
to devices such as laptops with wireless 4G modems, 4G smartphone mobile phones
and other 4G mobile devices that require internet access with speed intensive facilities
being made available, including on-demand HD television, IP telephony, on-demand
gaming and, of course, high speed internet access.
Currently marketed technologies such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) and WiMAX
have been around for a few years and are being marketed as 4G whilst not meeting the
requirements set by the ITU. It was recently announced that these services could
continue to be marketed as 4G as they are precursors to the IMT Advanced, 4G standard
whilst also operating on the same basis of technology; however, these should really be
considered as "Pre-4G" or "3.9G" as they technically do not offer the required data rates
of (stationary) 1Gbps.
The ITU has recognized two standards that are planned to meet the 4G IMT-Advanced
requirements put forward by the two groups, 3GPP and IEEE. These are the LTE
Advanced and Wireless MAN-Advanced (WiMAX-Advanced) standards and will
almost certainly abandon the old spread system technology found in 3G systems for
OFDMA and other equalization schemes, use MIMO technology, channel-dependent
scheduling and dynamic channel allocation... all technologies that are being found on
new, modern wireless networking equipment.
Applications:
The use of the 4G service will be very similar to that of the 3G service whilst offering
much higher data transfer rates and therefore allowing either more speed intensive
applications or more users to experience good speeds whilst only connected through 1
carrier. Applications could include:
4G Ultra high speed internet access - E-mail or general web browsing is
available.
4G Data intensive interactive user services - Services such as online satellite
mapping will load instantly.
16
4G Multiple User Video conferencing - subscribers can see as well as talk to
more than one person.
4G Location-based services - a provider sends wide spread, real time weather
or traffic conditions to the computer or phone, or allows the subscriber to find
and view nearby businesses or friends whilst communicating with them.
4G Tele-medicine - a medical provider monitors or provides advice to the
potentially isolated subscriber whilst also streaming to them related videos and
guides.
4G HDTV - a provider redirects a high definition TV channel directly to the
subscriber where it can be watched.
4G High Definition Video on demand - a provider sends a movie to the
subscriber.
4G Video games on demand - a provider sends game data directly to the
subscriber where they can play in real time.
The other main application that 4G could make available that 3G in general did not, or
could not, is the capability to be used as a main internet access point within homes or
businesses whilst catering for multiple connections at high speeds. If the 1Gbps rate is
available within these areas, the speeds would be many times more than those that are
currently publicly available and this application could be very useful for creating 4G
wireless networks that can be located in rural areas with no access to the high speed,
cabled, broadband grid.
Performance:
The IMT-Advanced Standard (4G) requires the following specifications to be met:
It must be based upon an all-IP packet switched network
Peak data rates must be up to 100Mbps in high mobility situations and up to
1Gbps for low mobility/stationary applications
Network resources should be utilized and dynamically shared to support more
users on same connection
Channel bandwidth should be scalable between 5, 20 and up to 40MHz
Spectral efficiency should be no less than 15bit/s/Hz and 6.75bit/s/Hz for
outdoor downlink and uplink usage respectively
Spectral efficiency should be no less than 3bit/s/Hz and 2.25bit/s/Hz for indoor
downlink and uplink usage respectively
17
Connection transitions across heterogeneous networks should be smooth
A high quality of service must be available to allow the next generation of
multimedia support on mobile devices.
4G Deployments:
BT is planning to launch a trial of 4G LTE technology in the rural areas near New quay
soon and is hopeful to roll out the 4G LTE service by 2014. O2 are planning to use
Slough as a testing ground and has planned with Huawei to install 4G LTE technology
in six masts across the area to allow users to communicate via HD video conferencing
and play high end video games whilst being mobile.

"Digital India as we have seen empowers them to fulfil their aspirations. We at Reliance
will invest over Rs. 2,50,000 crores across the Digital India pillars," he said, adding: "I
estimate Reliance's 'Digital India' investments will create employment for over 500,000
people." Ambani said the launch of Digital India initiative was a momentous occasion
in an information age where digitization was changing the way one lives, learns, works
and plays. It can transform the lives of 1.2 billion Indians using the power of digital
technology.
He said his group, under the Reliance Jio platform, will roll out an internet protocol
based wireless broadband infrastructure across all 29 states in India. Reliance Jio will
also set up a nationwide distribution network for 150,000 small vendors to sell and
service devices. "This apart Jio is working with leading device manufacturers,
encouraging them to 'Make in India' smart phones and internet devices at an affordable
price. We will give them an assured off take through our retail system."
Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Infocomm gave us all a little tease of what is to come
with its 4G services at Techfest, an anual science & technology festival held at the IIT-
Bombay. The service will be 10-12x faster than 3G networks. Here’s what Reliance,
the only company which holds a pan India 4G license, showed off
Jio Television: Set-top box running on Android. The service will have live
television (Jio Play) and Video on Demand (Jio World).
Jio Drive: 100 GB free storage to subscribers
Mi-Fi: The Company’s customer premise equipment will connect to a Reliance
operated mobile tower and provide local Wi-Fi network.
Next Big What has learned that Reliance Jio 4G plans also include the launch of a suite
of services including
1. Music Streaming
2. Video Calling & VoIP Services
3. Instant Messenger
4. Payment Services: Reliance
19
Jio already has obtained a license to operate prepaid wallets for mobile transactions
(this need not necessarily be linked to the 4G launch). Reliance is also launching its
own mobile apps to enable many of these services. According to Reliance, the 4G
infrastructure will also support its portfolio of multimedia digital services in education,
health-care, entertainment, payment and cloud services. With these launches, Reliance
will not only be making its much anticipated entry to 4G mobile services, it is also
likely to corner a large share of the media & entertainment marketin India. The idea is
to capture the living room of the consumer which is otherwise the undisputed territory
of cable television. Pan India 4G services on the Reliance network could also give a
leg-up to the digital economy in India. While the launch dates for the company’s big
foray into 4G hasn’t been announced, it could be as early as the first half of this year.
4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
20
The following is the literature review for this study. The content have been taken from
several sources.
Abhishek Kumar Singh and Malhar Pangrikar (2013) did a study titled “A Study
Report, to Find out Market Potential for 4g Businesses in Pune”. The Report is all about
“Study of market potential for 4G business in pune” and also to know about the
customer perceptions and attitudes towards their current service provider. Satisfaction
level of the customers was also judged. The customer expectations were analyzed
thoroughly. Major factors considered in research are: what are the needs of the
companies based on the data services usage, major player in internet services, and
support to customers. The research was conducted on companies mainly from
Industries like IT, Education, Manufacturing and others which are located in Pune city.
It is clear from the survey done that Reliance & Tata are Leading Internet service
Provider; they are providing products like Data Card, Broadband etc to the corporate
end users. Most of the companies are getting internet speed form 1MBPS-4MBPS.
Most of the companies are having good perception about 4 G and are willing to switch
to it from their current service provider. Speed of 4G is around than 30 to 35 MBPS, is
going too boom the Market. Because majority of the companies are facing Speed
problem with their current ISP.
Research Methodology:
Type: Quantitative Research
Sample unit: Small and medium Enterprises
Sample size : 86 Companies
Sampling Method: Simple Random Sampling
21
They have used two methods for data collection:-Primary Data:- Survey, Questionnaire
, Interview
Secondary Data:
Books, Internet
Mudit Ratana Bhalla and Anand Vardhan Bhalla (2010) did a study titled “Generations
of Mobile Wireless Technology: A Survey”.This paper will throw light on the evolution
and development of various generations of mobile wireless technology along with their
significance and advantages of one over the other. In the past few decades, mobile
wireless technologies have experience 4 or 5 generations of technology revolution and
evolution, namely from 0G to 4G. Current research in mobile wireless technology
concentrates on advance implementation of 4G technology and 5G technology.
Currently 5G term is not officially used. In 5G researches are being made on
development of World Wide Wireless Web (WWWW), Dynamic Adhoc Wireless
Networks (DAWN) and Real Wireless World.
Gurpreet Saini (2009) did a study titled “examining the 4g mobile standard
convergence to the lte standard”This research study examines the phenomenon of the
decisive convergence to a single mobile communication standard using a multi-level
longitudinal case study of the LTE standard to explore the context, process and content
of change associated with all relevant events and the stakeholders involved in them.
The research produces a set of constructs that can be used to describe the convergence
to LTE as well as applied to other similar phenomena in emerging information and
communications technology open standards.
22
The objective of this research is to answer the following research question and produce
insights:
What are the constructs that could be used to describe the convergence to the LTE
mobile communication standard?
The key contributions of the research are:
i) Validating a methodology that was previously used to study the adoption of an open
standard to involve the phenomenon of technology convergence
ii) Develop a set of constructs describing the evolution of LTE by taking into account
the convergence phenomena,
iii) Provide insights that are relevant to top management teams of firms willing to
engage in the development and adoption of emerging open standards in order to align
their competitive and product development strategies.
Subharthi Paul (2008)did a study titled “Long Term Evolution (LTE) & Ultra-Mobile
Broadband (UMB) Technologies for Broadband Wireless Access” gives a brief study
of Long Term Evolution (LTE) & Ultra-Mobile Broadband (UMB) Technologies.The
evolution of wireless telephone technologies can be discretely grouped into various
generations based on the level of maturity of the underlying technology. The
classification into generations is not standardized on any given metrics or parameters
and as such does not represent a strict demarcation. However, it represents a perspective
which is commonly agreed upon, both by industry and academia, and hence conceived
to be an unwritten standard. At this time, there are two major efforts towards the
development of the next generation - "4G" wireless access technology. The 3GPP or
3rd Generation Partnership project (brand named as Long Term Evolution) is the name
of the 4G efforts being undertaken in Europe and the 3GPP2 or 3rd Generation
Partnership project 2 (brand named as Ultra Mobile Broadband) is the 4G effort of
North America and parts of Asia. This survey tries to present an evolutionary and
objective sketch to the development efforts of these technologies that mark the future
of wide area broadband wireless access technologies.
Irfan Ullah (2012) Did a study titled“A study and analysis of Public WiFi”. The
objective of this survey is to compare different technologies with WiFi in terms of cost
factor, bandwidth and performance factor, and technology implementation factor The
23
goal of this thesis is to analyze and compare different wireless network technologies
with as focus on availability, number of nodes, total cost, end-user cost, vendor cost,
range, reliability and security. The goal is to compare Local Area Network Wi-Fi
technology (IEEE 802.11 a/g) with mobile wireless technology like 3G, 4G and LTE.
Liwen Zhang (2010) did a study titled “a survey on long term evolution” Long Term
Evolution (LTE) is a significant project of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP),
initially proposed on the Toronto conference of 3GPP in 2004 and officially started as
LTE work item in 2006. LTE, as a transition from the 3rd generation (3G) to the 4th
generation (4G), has achieved great capacity and high speed of mobile telephone
networks without doubt. It defines a new packet-only wideband radio with flat
architecture and assumes a full Internet Protocol (IP) network architecture in order to
assure voice supported in packet domain in design. In addition, it is combined with top-
of-the-line radio techniques in order to gain better performance than Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA) approaches. LTE provides scalable carrier bandwidths from
1.4 MHz to 20 MHz and frequency division duplexing (FDD), as well as time division
duplexing (TDD). In this paper, it presents an overall description of LTE technology
separately in different aspects of LTE architecture and technical principles to clarify
how LTE as a radio technology achieves a high performance for cellular mobile
communication systems.
Victor Wolfe, William Frobe, Vineetha Shrinivasan, Tsung-Yen Hsieh (2014) Did a
study titled “Feasibility Study of utilizing 4G LTE signals in combination with
unmanned aerial vehicles for the purpose of search and rescue of avalanche victims”.
This research report uses quantitative data and analysis to explore the feasibility of
using
Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution devices that are loaded with an application as
a device that can also help save an avalanche victim’s life. During the research process
we explored the idea of getting an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to the site of an avalanche
quicker than the current search and rescue process as long as the victims have a Fourth
Generation Long Term Evolution device plus the loaded app on them that is reporting
their position. Going into this project our research team did not know how well Fourth
Generation Long Term Evolution signals would propagate through snow. The study of
24
Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution signal propagation through snow was our
primary focus in this project in order to determine if it is even “feasible” to use a smart
phone as an avalanche rescue beacon.
Sumant Ku Mohapatra1 , BiswaRanjan Swain1 and Pravanjan Das (2015) did a study
titled “Comprehensive Survey of possible security issues on 4G networks” gives a brief
study of recent advances in wireless network security issues. First, it studies the 4G
mail threats and risk and their design decisions. Second, the security of 4G architecture
with next generation network security and 8- security dimensions of 4G network. Third,
security issues and possible threats on 4G are discussed. Finally, proposed four layer
security model which manages to ensure more secure packets transmission by taking
all the necessary security measures.
Hamner M., did an “Analysis which has been undertaken on the demand and supply
characteristics of the Indian telecommunications market, with the aim of contributing
to the debate on the effectiveness of universal access policies in developing countries
Also, the design, development and testing of a model for use in evaluating the variety
of issues that impact the telecommunications sector and affect its sustainability in
25
developing countries has been done. The model developed considers the
telecommunications sector to be a complex system that can be described in terms of
supply (eg infrastructure) and demand (eg revenue per capita). To represent the
telecommunications sector, the model embodies the relationships and interactions
between six major categories including: political, competitive and regulatory,
economic, social, sector specific and technology.

evolutionary path for all existing GSM and HSPA operators. However, LTE‟s
complementary core network also offers the ability to support the handover of services
between LTE and CDMA-2000 networks, making it a compelling option as a next step
for CDMA-2000/EV-DO operators as well. LTE has been developed to offer both
Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) modes, enabling
TD-SCDMA networks to also make a smooth transition to TDD LTE. Indeed, a
combined FDD and TDD LTE deployment is expected to gain a broad foothold in many
markets.
Leite, J. comes from IEEE family of protocols and extends the wireless access from
the Local Area Network (typically based on the IEEE 802.11 standard) to Metropolitan
Area Networks (MAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN). It uses a new physical layer
radio access technology called OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple
Access) for uplink and downlink. It provides wireless transmission of data using a
variety of transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully
mobile internet access. According to the industry forum WiMax Forum, many
technologies currently available for fixed wireless access can only provide line of sight
(LOS) coverage, the technology behind WiMAX has been optimised to provide non
line of sight (NLOS) coverage as well. WiMAX‟s advanced technology can cover
distances of up to 50 kilometers under LOS conditions and typical cell radii of up to 5
miles under NLOS conditions. The Mobile WiMAX uses an all IP backbone with
uplink and downlink peak data rate capabilities of up to 75 Mbps depending on the
antenna configuration and modulation, practicable to 10 Mbps within a 6 miles (10 Km)
radius. The earliest iterations of WiMAX was approved with the TDMA TDD and FDD
with line of sight (LOS) propagation across the 10 to 66 GHz frequency range which
was later expanded to 4 include operation in the 2 to 11 GHz range with non line of
sight (NLOS) capability using the robust OFDMA PHY layer with sub-channelization
allowing dynamic allocation of time and frequency resources to multiple users. The
802.16m (Mobile WiMAX Release 2) Task-force is currently working on the next-
generation systems with an aim for optimizations for improved interworking and
coexistence with other access technologies such as 3G cellular systems, WiFi and
Bluetooth and enhance the peak rates to 4G standards set by the ITU under „IMT-
Advanced‟ umbrella which calls for data rates of 100 Mbps for high mobility and 1
Gbps for fixed/nomadic wireless access.

Protiviti, 2009 “The lackluster performance of the Broadband (BB) market, primarily
attributable to the technical and economic non feasibility of the fixed line infrastructure
in India, indicates that the solution for mass proliferation of broadband in India has to
be wireless. Recognising the strong correlation between broadband proliferation and
increased economic activity and experience of the burgeoning wireless voice market,
the Government had announced its Broadband Policy (2004) and most recently the
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) auctions in 2008 to accelerate BB adoption in
India. The industry and the country now wait with bated breath to see which wireless
technology will be adopted to provide a cost effective and scalable BB solution to the
Indian market, which is ripe with pent up demand for broadband services. Adoption of
any new wireless technology would hinge on affordability, spectral efficiency (on
account of scarcity of available spectrum and its high cost), scalability, robustness,
range of devices available, evolution roadmap over the next 3~4 years and meeting the
BWA policy requirements. While one school of thought backs WiMAX – “WiMAX
emerges as the quintessential answer to these problems, given its superior performance
and lower costs as compared to the existing 3G technologies and futuristic Long Term
Evolution (LTE) equivalents. WiMAX was developed for high speed wireless BB data
access and is a 4G technology available today at 3G prices. It presents an ideal choice
to Telcos for providing high speed wireless BB at affordable rates and for the
government to meet its growth and social objectives.”
Ayvazian, B., 2010 did a study on the other backs LTE – “Long Term Evolution (LTE)
has entered the mobile market as 3G has achieved wide deployment by mobile
operators and subscriber adoption worldwide. Mobile broadband traffic is exploding at
100 percent per year in many markets, largely due to the growing popularity of 3G-
enabled smart-phones, laptops, and tablet computers. To address this growing demand
for mobile broadband, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards body
developed LTE as the next logical technological step for over 4 billion mobile
subscribers on existing 3GPP and 3GPP2 networks. 7 On the one hand, LTE serves as
the evolutionary path from 3G to 4G, transforming the mobile industry by supporting
ultra-fast broadband, significantly improving the user experience, substantially
improving end-user throughputs, increasing sector capacity, and reducing user plane
latency. LTE is designed as a simple and flat, all-IP data-centric network architecture
resulting in low operating costs for operators. LTE has an extremely low latency
28
between network elements and end-to-end devices which is about 10 times lower than
that of current 3G networks. LTE leverages existing mature radio technologies while
also taking advantage of the fast moving semiconductor processing technologies that
enables a low cost deployment even from the very beginning.”
Puckering, J., 2008; Scrase, A., 2009 ; Stuck, B., 2008 did a Research on BWA
Technology Roadmaps & Ecosystem Development, and its Operator Business Case and
Adoption Forecast exist, and will have to be rationally evaluated /further
research/studies undertaken. It is not only the Radio Access Network (RAN) to be
considered but also the backhaul. Mobile operators worldwide are making serious
financial commitments to deploy all-IP 4G mobile broadband networks. The race to 4G
is being driven by operator competition to capture market share among the most
advanced subscribers with new smartphone devices and applications that drive mobile
data traffic growth. Operators are now deploying 4G mobile broadband networks and
services to handle this traffic growth, although the first release of mobile WiMax,
HSPA+ and, LTE are all considered by the ITU to be pre-4G technologies.
Jain, R., 2010 did a study on the Technological developments in wireless and the
decreasing costs have created opportunities for faster deployment of
telecommunications services. This speed is critical for developing countries, especially
in rural areas, as the role of telecommunications in development is more significant for
them. The uptake of wireless technologies has been rapid in most developing countries.
For the most part, these have been cellular networks that operate in the licensed bands.
The Asian region has been one of the fastest growing segments of the wireless market.
Yet, a closer look at the policy and regulatory regime points to a need for a review of
existing processes, institutions and instruments for more market-oriented outcomes for
allotment of spectrum
Narayana, M.R., 2011 did a research on the growth contributions of telecom services
by public and private sectors, socioeconomic determinants of demand for telecom
services need to be revisited, as , they have implications for selective design of policies
towards promotion of higher demand and attainment of higher economic growth by
fixed and mobile services in India.

Stacey, O., 2011 did a study on “Network sharing has long occupied the minds of
operators and, while most mobile operators already engage in various forms of sharing,
much of this has focused on passive infrastructure sharing as operators remain cautious
over the perceived risks associated with active infrastructure sharing. The significant
capital and operating expenditure (CAPEX and OPEX) savings and the benefits of a
better network in terms of coverage and capacity continue to appeal to many operators.
But there are a number of risks and challenges which operators need to manage and
control in order to successfully implement a sharing project.
Krishnakumar, R., 2010; Kumar, M., et al., 2012 did a study to facilitate this the
NTP 2012 intends to allow sharing of Networks and delink the licensing of Networks
from the delivery of Service to the end users to facilitate faster roll 10 out of services
across the country , enhance the quality of service, optimize the investment and address
the issue of the digital divide. This will also facilitate increased competition in the
telecom sector without putting any entry barrier in setting up of networks by new
operators and at the same time allowing the existing operators to increase their network
utilization by sharing the network facilities. A major policy objective is to reposition
the mobile phone from a mere communication device to an instrument of empowerment
that combines communication with proof of identity, fully secure financial and other
transaction capability, multi-lingual services and a whole range of other capabilities
that ride on them and transcend the literacy barrier. This could then be expected to lead
to a rash of innovation and entrepreneurship related to mobile value-added services
(MVAS) services. The goal in this area is to emerge as a global leader in MVAS
services
Kamal, K., 2008did a research on the Concerns about Cyber Security in general and
security of telecom infrastructure in particular are escalating. Current efforts in these
areas need to be stepped up by several orders of magnitude with appropriate
arrangements for coordination across multiple agencies involved if they are to be
effective in meeting new and emerging challenges The issues surrounding the
management of wireless broadband access (including WiMAX and LTE) networks
would have to be examined. The security, resilience and safety of these networks is of
paramount importance.

34
that follow a chi-squared distribution arise from an assumption of independent normally
distributed data, which is valid in many cases due to the central limit theorem. A chi-
squared test can then be used to reject the hypothesis that the data are independent.
Also considered a chi-square test is a test in which this is asymptotically true, meaning
that the sampling distribution (if the null hypothesis is true) can be made to approximate
a chi-square distribution as closely as desired by making the sample size large enough.
The chi-squared test is used to determine whether there is a significant difference
between the expected frequencies and the observed frequencies in one or more
categories. Does the number of individuals or objects that fall in each category differ
significantly from the number you would expect.

8. FINDINGS FROM THE RESEARCH
55
9. CONCLUSION
From the above details I conclude that most of the customers are willing to go with Reliance
4G services, as most of them are satisfied with the free WI-FI services which are the main
advantage of the organization to attract the customers. Beta version of 4g has been tested
successfully and the customer satisfaction is highly met which implies that the Reliance JIO
will compete with other network service providers also after the commercial launch.

8. 8. 8 INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC
9. 9. 9 After the globalization of India economy in 1991 the telecommunication sector
remained one of the most happening sectors in India. The recent years witnesses rapid
and dramatic changes in the field of telecommunications. In the last few years more and
more companies both foreign, domestic, come into cellular service, service market and
offers large number of services to the people. A consumer may be referred to anyone
engaged in evaluating, acquiring, using or disposing of services which he expects will
satisfy his wants. If any producer makes out the marketing programmer ignoring the
consumer preferences, he cannot possibly achieve his ultimate objectives. A
manufacturer must plan his production and distribution to suit the consumer’s
convenience rather than his own. Therefore a marketer must know more and more about
the consumers, so that the products can be produced in such a fashion to give
satisfaction to them. In the year of 1989, the number of cell phone users in India was
zero. In the year of 1999 the number of cell phone users has gone up by 13 lakh. In the
year of 2000 the number of cell phone users has risen by one million. Indian telecom
sector added a staggering 227.27 million wireless mobile users in the 12 months
between March 2010 and March 2011, while the overall teledensity has increased to
81.82% as of 30 November 2015, and the total numbers of telephone phone users

11. 11. 11 INDUSTRY PROFILE
12. 12. 12 INDUSTRY PROFILE India has a fast-growing mobile services market with
excellent potential for the future. With almost five million subscribers amassed in less
than two years of operation, India's growth tempo has far exceeded that of numerous
other markets, such as China and Thailand, which have taken more than five years to
reach the figures India currently holds. The number of mobile phone subscribers in the
country would exceed 50 million by 2010 and cross 300 million by 2016, according to
Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI). According to recent strategic research by
Frost & Sullivan, Indian Cellular Services Market, such growth rates can be greatly
attributed to the drastically falling price of mobile handsets, with price playing a
fundamental role in Indian subscriber requirements. Subscribers in certain regions can
acquire the handset at almost no cost, thanks to the mass-market stage these
technologies have reached internationally. The Indian consumer can buy a handset for
$150 or less. This should lead to increased subscribership. This market is growing at an
extremely fast pace and so is the competition between the mobile service providers. With
the presence of a number of mobile telephony services providers including market
leaders like Airtel, Reliance, Idea Cellular, BSNL etc. who are providing either of the two
network technologies such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). In cellular service there are two main competing
network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Understanding the difference between GSM and
CDMA will allow the user to choose the preferable network technology for his needs.
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is a new digital technology developed
by the European community to create a common mobile standard around the world. It
helps you achieve higher sell capacity and better speech quality and one can enjoy
crystal clear reception on ones mobile phone. It automatically solves the problem of
eavesdropping on ones calls. Before analyzing the telecom licensing framework in India,
it is imperative that one must examine what is a license. License issued by the
government is an authority, given to a person upon certain conditions to do something
which would have been illegal or wrongful otherwise.
13. 13. 13 For example, a driver’s license issued by the government, gives the authority to a
person to drive a motor vehicle. There are three main types of license fee which the
government charges: (I) initial license fee, which generally is non-refundable, (ii) annual
license fee, and (iii) additional fee for allocation of spectrum. Licensing framework has
been an integral part of India’s telecommunication law. Under the Indian Telegraph Act,
1885, section 4 gives power to the government to grant license to any person to
establish, maintain or use a telegraph. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) describes
a communication channel access principle that employs spread spectrum technology and
a special coding scheme (where each transmitter is assigned a code). It is a spread
spectrum signaling, since the modulated coded signal has a much higher bandwidth than
the data being communicated. CDMA is the current name for mobile technology and is
characterized by high capacity and small cell radius. It has been used in many
communication and navigation systems, including the Global Positioning System and the
omnitracs satellite system for transportation logistics. Indian mobile telephony market is
increasing day by day and there is more to happen with technological up gradations
occurring nearly every day and the ever-increasing demand for easier and faster
connectivity, the mobile telephony market is expected to race ahead.
14. 14. 14 NATIONAL TELECOM POLICY 1994 (NTP 1994):- The National Telecom Policy
was announced in 1994 which aimed at improving India's competitiveness in the global
market and provide a base for a rapid growth in exports. This policy eventually facilitated
the emergence of Internet services in India on the back of established basic telephony
communication network. This policy also paved way for the entry of the private sector in
telephone services. The main objectives of the policy were: To ensure
telecommunication is within the reach of all, that is, to ensure availability of telephone on
demand as early as possible To achieve universal service covering all villages, that is,
enable all people to access certain basic telecom services at affordable and reasonable
60
prices To ensure world-class telecom services. Remove consumer complaints, resolve
disputes and encourage public interface and provide a wide permissible range of
services to meet the demand at reasonable prices To ensure that India emerges as a
major manufacturing base and major exporter of telecom equipment To protect the
defence and security interests of the nation. The policy also announced a series of
specific targets to be achieved by 1997 and further recognized that to achieve these
targets the private sector association and investment would be required to bridge the
resource gap. Thus, to meet the telecom needs of the nation and to achieve international
comparable standards, the sector for manufacture of telecom equipment had been
progressively relicensed and the sub-sector for value-added services was opened up to
private investment (July 1992) for electronic mail, voice mail, data services, audio text
services, video text services, video conferencing, radio paging and cellular mobile
telephone. The private sector participation in the sector was carried out in a phased
manner. Initially the private sector was allowed in the value added services, and
thereafter, it was allowed in the fixed telephone services. Subsequently, VSAT services
were liberalized for private sector participation to provide data services to closed user
groups.
15. 15. 15 Establishment of TRAI The entry of private players necessitated independent
regulation in the sector; therefore, the TRAI was established in 1997 to regulate telecom
services, for fixation/revision of tariffs, and also to fulfil the commitments made when
India joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. The establishment of TRAI
was a positive step as it separated the regulatory function from policy-making and
operation, which continued to be under the purview of the DoT2. The functions allotted to
the TRAI included: a. To recommend the need and timing for introduction of new service
provider b. To protect the interest of customers of telecom services c. To settle disputes
between service providers d. To recommend the terms and conditions of license to a
service provider e. To render advice to the Central government on matters relating to the
development of telecommunication technology and any other matter applicable to the
telecommunication industry in general.
16. 16. 16 NEW TELECOM POLICY 1999 (NTP 1999):- In recognition of the fact that the
entry of the private sector, which was envisaged during NTP- 94, was not satisfactory
and in response to the concerns of the private operators and investors about the viability
of their business due to non realization of targeted revenues the government decided to
come up with a new telecom policy. The most important milestone and instrument of
telecom reforms in India is the New Telecom Policy 1999 (NTP 99). The New Telecom
Policy, 1999 (NTP-99) was approved on 26th March 1999, to become effective from 1st
April 1999.Moreover, convergence of both markets and technologies required
realignment of the industry. To achieve India’s vision of becoming an IT superpower
along with developing a world class telecom infrastructure in the country, there was a
need to develop a new telecom policy framework. Accordingly, the NTP 1999 was framed
with the following objectives and targets: Availability of affordable and effective
communication for citizens was at the core of the vision and goal of the new telecom
policy Provide a balance between provision of universal service to all uncovered areas,
including rural areas, and the provision of high-level services capable of meeting the
needs of the economy Encourage development of telecommunication facilities in
remote, hilly and tribal areas of the nation To facilitate India’s journey to becoming an IT
superpower by creating a modern and efficient telecommunication infrastructure taking
into account the convergence of IT, media, telecom and consumer electronics Convert
PCOs, wherever justified, into public telephone information centers having multimedia
capability such as ISDN services, remote database access, government and community
information systems etc. To bring about a competitive environment in both urban and
rural areas by providing equal opportunities and level playing field for all players
Providing a thrust to build world-class manufacturing capabilities and also strengthen
research and development efforts in the country
17. 17. 17 Achieve efficiency and transparency in spectrum management Protect the
defense and security interests of the country Enable Indian telecom companies to
61
become global players. In line with the above objectives, some of the specific targets of
the NTP 1999 were: Make available, telephone on demand by 2002 and achieve a tele
density of 7% by 2005 and 15% by 2010 Encourage development of telecom in rural
areas by developing a suitable tariff structure so that it becomes more affordable and by
also making rural communication mandatory for all fixed service players and thus o
Achieve a rural tele density of 4% by 2010 and provide reliable transmission o media in
all rural areas. Players in the market BSNL is the market leader with a 67.7 per cent
share followed by MTNL with 11.5 per cent market share. Next is Bharti Airtel at 10.9%
followed by Tata and Reliance at 5% and 4.1% respectively. BSNL as a company is
growing and showed annual revenues of approximately $4.5 billion as of 2014. BSNL is
serving more than 125 million customers across the country and is catalyst in checking
the price point for telecom services. Also, with the government intensifying its rural
focus, only BSNL can turn into reality the next wave of rural telecom penetration. BSNL
is a 100% Central Government entity and employees with BSNL are entitled to get
salaries and perks as decided by Government of India and not by BSNL
18. 18. 18 However both, MTNL and BSNL are plagued by declining revenues coupled with
high costs. BSNL has massive infrastructure, manpower, systems, and 80 per cent of
landlines and 90 per cent of broadband connections in India are operated by it.
“Vodafone is investing nearly US$ 3 billion over the next two years in India in expanding
its network infrastructure and distribution channel in the country,” as per Vittorio Colao,
CEO, Vodafone Plc. BlackBerry plans to set up enterprise solutions centres to educate
corporate customers about various BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 10 solutions.
"India is one of the fastest growing markets in terms of smartphone and mobile data
adoption,” said according to Sunil Lalvani, Managing Director (MD), BlackBerry India.
Tata Teleservices plans to set up nearly 4,000 wi-fi hotspots in nine cities across the
country in the next two years. Booming sectors The tide has turned for the telecom
sector in India, as growth and profitability has accelerated in recent times. Tower
companies are reaping benefits of a turnaround in the sector as operators have started
investing in networks to boost data penetration. However it is in the country’s booming
mobile segment in which the major battles are being fought. Three major private players
– Bharti airtel, Reliance and Vodafone - with a formidable 54% share of the market
between them, lead a large field of mobile operators. State-owned enterprises –BSNL
and MTNL – have also been making their presence felt with a combined market share of
12%.
19. 19. 19 A look ahead According to Craig Wigginton, vice chairman and U.S.
Telecommunications leader, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the big challenge for the telecom
industry in 2016 – which also presents a major growth opportunity for the sector – is that
consumers are getting addicted to connectivity and high speed. The ongoing expansion
of the mobile ecosystem, coupled with demand for high- bandwidth applications and
services such as video and gaming, is keeping pressure on the industry to increase the
availability and quality of broadband connectivity. What does this mean for players in
the sector? Carriers will continue to pursue technological advancements to handle
demand, including offloading some mobile bandwidth needs to Wi-Fi, which is proving an
effective complement to mobile networks. At the same time, long-term spectrum
availability, spectrum efficiency, small cells and continued backhaul improvements are
likely to be a key focus to assure continued mobile broadband momentum

24. 24. 24 RJIL’s subsidiary has been awarded with a Facility Based Operator License (“FBO
License”) in Singapore which will allow it to buy, operate and sell undersea and/or
terrestrial fibre connectivity, setup its internet point of presence, offer internet transit and
peering services as well as data and voice roaming services in Singapore. R-Jio is also in
the process of installing hundreds of monopoles, unlike the regular rooftop- mounted
telecom towers typically used by telcos, said the company executive quoted above.
Monopoles, or ground-based masts (GBMs), are expected to double up as street lights
and surveillance systems, and provide real-time monitoring of traffic and advertising
opportunities. The company, which plans to be rolled out commercial telecom service
operations from January, is currently in the testing phase for most of its offerings
including 4G services, a host of mobile phone applications and delivery of television
content over its fibre optic network. R-Jio, meanwhile, faces its share of challenges in
terms of return on investment and capturing market share. The company, according to
industry analysts, is expected to spend $8-9 billion for the 4G roll-out. The company will
battle for subscribers with leading telcos such as Bharti Airtel Ltd, Vodafone India Pvt Ltd
and Idea Cellular Ltd. The Dominant Players Bharti Airtel --- 23% Market Share

25. 25. 25 The services were beta launched to Jio's partners and employees on 27
December 2015 on the eve of 83rd birth anniversary of late Dhirubhai Ambani, founder of
Reliance Industries. Mr. Akash Ambani is being launched in business as a chief of
strategy in Reliance JIO,involved in day to day operations in business or Ms. Isha
Ambani is involved in branding and marketing. And the key people are Sanjay
Mashruwalla (Managing Director), Jyotindra Tacker (Head of IT).
26. 26. 26 Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani committed an investment of Rs.
2,50,000 crores on "Digital India" and said he expected the group's initiatives under it will
create over 5,00,000 direct and indirect jobs. "Digital India as company has seen
empowers them to fulfil their aspirations.Reliance JIO has invested over Rs. 2,50,000
crores across the Digital India pillars," Ambani said, adding: "I estimate Reliance's 'Digital
India' investments will create employment for over 5,00,000 people. " Ambani said the
launch of Digital India initiative was a momentous occasion in an information age where
63
digitization was changing the way one lives, learns, works and plays. It can transform the
lives of 1.2 billion Indians using the power of digital technology. And as well as "So 80
percent of the 1.3 billion Indians will have high-speed, mobile Internet. And by 2017,
company would cover 90 percent. And by 2018, all of India would be covered by this
digital infrastructure,"
27. 27. 27 HISTORY In June 2010, Reliance Industries (RIL) bought a 96% stake in Infotel
Broadband Services Limited (IBSL) for Rs 4,800cr. Although unlisted, IBBL was the only
firm to win broadband spectrum in all 22 zones in India in the 4G auction that took place
earlier that year.Later continuing as RIL's telecom subsidiary, Infotel Broadband Services
Limited was renamed as Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) in January 2013.
Acquisition & Subsidiaries: Acquired Infotel Broadband Services Limited in 2010.
Technology - Rancore Technologies ILD & NLD - Infotel Telecom. Agreements: An
agreement with Ascend Telecom for their more than 4,500 towers across India. (June
2014) An agreement with Tower Vision for their 8,400 towers across India. (May 2014)
An agreement with ATC India for their 11,000 towers across India. (April 2014) An
agreement with Viom Networks for their 42,000 telecom towers. (March 2014)
Agreement with Bharti Airtel for a comprehensive telecom infrastructure sharing
agreement to share infrastructure created by both parties to avoid duplication of
infrastructure wherever possible. (December 2013) A key agreement for international
data connectivity with Bharti to utilise dedicated fiber pair of Bharti’s i2i submarine cable
that connects India and Singapore. (April 2013) Agreements with Reliance
Communications Limited for sharing of RCOM’s extensive inter-city and intra-city optic
fiber infrastructure of nearly 1,20,000 fiber-pair kilometers of optic fiber and 500,000 fiber
pair kilometers respectively (April 2013 / April 2014), and 45,000 towers (June 2013).
28. 28. 28 Technology: Reliance Jio Infocomm is currently laying OFC across the country
to offer Fiber to the home/premises (FTTH). This fiber backbone will also help them to
carry huge amount of data originated from their 4G network as well as public Wi-Fi
network. Reliance Jio is deploying LTE-TDD technology for 2.3 GHz spectrum band,
acquired in 2010. Reliance Jio will deploy LTE-FDD for 1.8 GHz spectrum, which will
ultimately paved to roll out of LTE-A network aggregation of both technology and both
spectrum band. At present in different cities of India Reliance Jio offers Wi-Fi services.
Most of these cities are in Gujarat, where Reliance Industries also have one of the largest
petro- refinery. Once commercially launched, Jio users can have access to Reliance
Communications’ 2G & 3G network.
29. 29. 29 OPERATIONS In June 2015, Jio announced that it will start its operations all over
the country by the end of year. However, four months later in October 2015, the
company's spokesmen sent out a press release stating that the launch was postponed to
the first quarter of the financial year 2016-2017. Later in July, a PIL filed in the Supreme
Court by an NGO called the Centre for Public Interest Litigation, through Prashant
Bhushan, challenged the grant of pan-India licence to Jio by the Government of India.
The PIL also alleged that Jio was allowed to provide voice telephony along with its 4G
data service, by paying an additional fees of just 165.8 crore (US$25 million) which was
arbitrary and unreasonable, and contributed to a loss of 2,284.2 crore (US$340 million) to
the exchequer. The Indian Department of Telecom (DoT), however, refuted all of CAG's
claims. In its statement, DoT explained that the rules for 3G and BWA spectrum didn't
restrict BWA winners from providing voice telephony. As a result, the PIL was revoked,
and the accusations were dismissed. Beta Launch The 4G services were launched
internally to Jio's partners, its staff and their families on 27 December 2015. Bollywood
actor Shah Rukh Khan, who is also the brand ambassador of Jio, kickstarted the launch
event which took place in Reliance Corporate Park in Navi Mumbai, along with celebrities
like musician A R Rahman, actors Ranbir Kapoor and Javed Jaffrey, and filmmaker
Rajkumar Hirani.The closed event was witnessed by more than 35000 RIL employees
some of whom were virtually connected from around 1000 locations including Dallas in
the US.
30. 30. 30 PRODUCT & SERVICES RELIANCE JIO 4G BROADBAND The company has
launched its 4G broadband services throughout India in the first quarter of 2016 financial
64
year.It was slated to release in December 2015 after some reports said that the company
was waiting to receive final permits from the government.Mukesh Ambani, owner of
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) whose Reliance Jio is the telecom subsidiary, had
unveiled details of Jio's fourth-generation (4G) services on 12 June 2015 at RIL's 41st
annual general meeting. It will offer data and voice services with peripheral services like
instant messaging, live TV, movies on demand, news, streaming music, and a digital
payments platform. The company has a network of more than 250,000 km of fiber optic
cables in the country, over which it will be partnering with local cable operators to get
broader connectivity for its broadband services. With its multi-service operator (MSO)
licence, Jio will also serve as a TV channel distributor and will offer television-on-demand
on its network. Pan-India Spectrum Jio owns spectrum in 800 MHz and 1,800 MHz bands
in 10 and 6 circles, respectively, of the total 22 circles in the country, and also owns pan-
India licensed 2,300 MHz spectrum. The spectrum is valid till 2035.Ahead of its digital
services launch, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio entered into a spectrum sharing deal
with younger brother Anil Ambani-backed Reliance Communications. The sharing deal is
for 800 MHz band across seven circles other than the 10 circles for which Jio already
owns.
31. 31. 31 Reliance jio’s vision for India is that broadband and digital services will no longer
be a luxury item ,Rather convert it into a basic necessity that can be consumed in
abundance by consumers and small businesses .The initiatives are truly aligned with the
Government of India's ‘Digital India’ vision for our nation. • Digital Healthcare • Affordable
Devices • Jio Drive • Digital Education • Digital Currency • Digital Entertainment and
social connectivity LYF SMARTPHONES In June 2015, Jio tied up with domestic handset
maker Intex to supply 4G handsets enabled with voice over LTE (VoLTE) feature.
Through this, it plans to offer 4G voice calling besides rolling out high-speed Internet
services using a fiber network, in addition to the 4G wireless network.[ However, in
October 2015, Jio announced that it would be launching its own mobile handset brand
named LYF. On 25 January 2016, the company launched its LYF smartphone series
starting with Water 1, through its chain of electronic retail outlets, Reliance Retail. Three
more handset models have been released so far, namely Water series, Earth series, and
Flame series.

43. 43. 43 LITERATURE REVIEW
44. 44. 44 LITERATURE REVIEW Abhishek Kumar Singh and Malhar Pangrikar (2013) did a
study titled “A Study Report, to Find out Market Potential for 4G Businesses in Pune”.
The Report is all about “Study of market potential for 4G business in pune” and also to
know about the customer perceptions and attitudes towards their current service
provider. Satisfaction level of the customers was also judged. The customer expectations
were analyzed thoroughly. Major factors considered in research are: what are the needs
of the companies based on the data services usage, major player in internet services,
and support to customers. The research was conducted on companies mainly from
Industries like IT, Education, Manufacturing and others which are located in Pune city. It
is clear from the survey done that Reliance & Tata are Leading Internet service Provider;
they are providing products like Data Card, Broadband etc to the corporate end users.
Most of the companies are getting internet speed form 1MBPS-4MBPS. Most of the
companies are having good perception about 4 G and are willing to switch to it from their
current service provider. Speed of 4G is around than 30 to 35 MBPS, is going to boom
the Market. Because majority of the companies are facing Speed problem with their
current ISP. 4G spectrum is a research item for next-generation wide-area cellular
radio,which focuses on 4G technologies, 4G networks and 4G systems. 4G technologies
shall include three basic areas of connectivity which are personal area networking (such
as Bluetooth), local high-speed access points on the network such as wireless
technologies and cellular connectivity. At the moment, many companies have established
projects for 4G systems developmet. 4G can provide services for a wide range of speed
facility that support global roaming and each company will be able to interact with
internet-based information and available in every part of country.
45. 45. 45 In this literature review. the consumer perceptions about 4G services in Pune. The
objectives of the study was (1) to find the most influencing factor in selection of service
provider, and (2) to measure customer perception and satisfaction as regards the 4G
service provided. The study on a 4G indicated that some problems exist that deserve the
attention of the company.The company needs to bridge the gap between the services
promised and 4G services offered. And to conclude, “Delivering service without
measuring the impact on the customer is like driving a car without a windshield” . At
67
4G,The Company have always sought to enhance value for you as a customer by
providing you the most relevant and easy to use services through innovation and by
harnessing the latest developments in technology. In line with this strategy, constantly
introduced 4G innovative services to suit customer unique needs and wants. These 4G
trends in the market and among customers generate a demand for high speed and more
rapidly changing services and also expectation for a different approach to technology
development. As well as imposing requirements in terms of 4G technology development,
trends such as mass individualization call for a responsive answer to a sharply increasing
market demand. Successful growth and diffusion of 4G services is focusing customer
satisfaction on how mobile relates to 4G networks. Accordingly, it is necessary for
company to review current frameworks in those instances where changes might impede
the offering of certain aspects. Consumer perception about 4G much more volatile, much
less predictable and increasingly concerned with instant gratification. The expectation is
that in due course this trend towards individualization will become a more important
factor in the emerging markets too, particularly in the every areas.In future, 4G services
over mobile networks and company need to review current regulatory frameworks to
enhance innovation and competition in the market of these services. .
46. 46. 46 customer satisfaction is a measure of how 4G services supplied by a company
meet customer expectation. In today’s tough economic climate all companies need to
improve efficiency and, even in midsize firms that usually mean coordinating large
quantities of information. However, technology and thinking has progressed and, many of
user nowadays using 4G services. Customer satisfaction is defined as a customer’s
overall evaluation of the performance of an offering to date. This overall satisfaction has
a strong positive effect on customer loyalty intentions across a wide range of 4G service
s. Many companies have been gaining rising popularity due to the advances in 4G
technologies and the large increase in the number of its users. The companies that
expand beyond services and develop a content distribution platform will win customers’s
expectation. Companies couldnot follow constant rules to be successful in potential
markets. There is not a list of actions that lead companies to more profit or more
customer satisfaction.Because 4G services are increasingly spread out all over India.And
every customer are preferred these 4G services. This satisfaction has positive influences
on retaining customers among different variety of 4G services. Satisfaction refers to
achieving the things we want. If satisfaction interprets as "not going wrong" the firm
should decrease complaint which by its own is not sufficient. In order to satisfy
customers, company should improve its 4G services. Customers with less expectation
are more satisfied, companies by adding innovative 4G features would easily increase
customer satisfaction. Customer retention is directly influenced by customer satisfaction.
Retention is a major challenge particularly in internet based services, as customers can
easily switch from one service to another at low cost. Customer satisfaction is the key
factor determining how successful the company will be in competitive market,therefore it
is very important to measure it.
47. 47. 47 To better manage customer satisfaction, company spend millions on effectively
tracking the methods that guarantee customer satisfaction, because the quantitative
measurement of customer satisfaction is a great help for comprehensively measuring the
effect of 4G on customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction, as we discussed before,
has the most important effect on customer perception and in order to narrowing down we
focus on 4G service as one of the customer satisfaction’s factors. The aim of the
company is to find the most important service dimensions that affect customer
satisfaction. To have a thorough satisfaction firstly the company is needed to bring
satisfied customers which leads to loyal customers and by preparing all this, good
services would be followed which influenced on Customer satisfaction and make them
loyal in future.
48. 48. 48 INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM
49. 49. 49 INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM Even though the sector has reflected
promising growth, the teledensity in India still remains at a very low level compared with
international standards and thus providing tremendous opportunity for future growth. In
the medium-term, the industry is expected to continue to record good subscriber growth
68
as a result of low penetration levels, heightened competition; a sustained fall in minimum
subscription cost and tariff that increase affordability for lower-income rural users,
expansion of coverage area by mobile operators, and government support through
schemes such as the rural infrastructure roll out funded by subsidies from the Universal
Service Obligation (USO) Fund. The Indian telecom sector offers unprecedented
opportunities in various areas, such as rural telephony, 4G, virtual private network, value-
added services, et al. Nonetheless, the lack of telecom infrastructure in rural areas and
falling ARPU of telecom service providers could inhibit the future growth of the industry
Rapidly Falling ARPU (Average revenue per user) The competitive intensity in the
telecom industry in India is one of the highest in the world and has lead to sustained fall
in realisation for the service providers. Intense competitive pressure and cut throat pricing
has resulted in declining ARPUs. With increasing number of new entrants in the telecom
space the competitive intensity is likely to continue, putting further downward pressures
on the telecom tariffs. Thus, the telecom companies might have to grapple with further
decline in ARPUs, going forward. Further, with the telecom companies moving their focus
to the rural areas for driving the future subscriber growth they might not witness a
commensurate increase in revenues. In fact, the risk of steep decline in ARPUs will
increase going forward as the telecom companies penetrate rural markets that are
characterised by higher concentration of lowincome, low-usage customers. A higher-
than-expected decline in ARPU poses a risk of reduction in margins of service providers.
Alternatively, telecom operators are turning their focus to steadily increasing the minutes
of usage (MoU) to counter the sustained fall in ARPUs. Likewise, the growth of the VAS
is also crucial for some improvement in the ARPUs of operators.
50. 50. 50 Lack of Telecom Infrastructure Lack of telecom infrastructure in semi-rural and
rural areas could be one of the major hindrances in tapping the huge rural potential
market, going forward. The service providers have to incur a huge initial fixed cost to
enter rural service areas. Further, as many rural areas in India lack basic infrastructure
such as road and power, developing telecom infrastructure in these areas involve greater
logistical risks and also extend the time taken to roll out telecom services. The lack of
trained personnel in the rural area to operate and maintain the cellular infrastructure,
especially passive infrastructure such as towers, is also seen as a hurdle for extending
telecom services to the under penetrated rural areas. Rural Areas Continue to Remain
Under Penetrated A rural teledensity of merely 15% point towards the fact that a majority
of Indian population still do not have access to telecom services. The rural India seems to
have remained untouched by the telecom revolution witnessed in the last few years. A
huge 'digital divide', which is reflected by the enormous difference of 74% between the
urban and rural teledensity, reiterates this fact. However, with the urban markets
reaching a saturation point, the telecom service providers are penetrating rural areas for
driving future growth. Thus, the service providers entering new rural markets might
witness substantial increase in subscriber base. The expansion in the rural areas,
however, has increased the risk of further decline in the ARPUs. Nonetheless the
revenue growth from these regions is unlikely to match the surge in the subscriber base.
51. 51. 51 Excessive Competition Another major concern that has come to the forefront in
the recent past has been heightened competitive intensity in the industry that has
correspondingly fuelled the price war between industry players. The Indian wireless
market is one of the world’s most competitive markets, with 12 operators across 23
wireless ‘circles’ and 6 to 8 competing operators in each circle. The auction of new 4G
licences and the introduction of mobile number portability (MNP) are likely to heat up
competition in the industry, going forward. Spectrum is the most important resource that
is required for providing mobile services. Given that spectrum is a finite resource, the
availability of the same would be inversely proportional to the number of operators. Thus,
larger the number of service providers smaller will be the amount of spectrum available to
each of them. Scarcity of spectrum leads to higher capex on deployment of mobile
networks for the operators as they need more cell sites to improve service quality.
Further the growing usage of spectrum and the resultant scarcity may lead to re-use of
spectrum and increase chances of congestion in networks leading to constraints on
service quality. Evidently, the competition in the industry is expected to intensify further
69
with the entry of new players, both domestic as well as foreign players. With the
competitive intensity of the industry already at such high levels new operators might find
it difficult to gather significant share in Indian telecom market. While the new players may
benefit from a faster network rollout through tower sharing, they will face challenges in
terms of high subscriber acquisition costs and lower ARPU customers. Lower Broadband
Penetration The Indian economy remains highly underpenetrated in terms of broadband
connections. High cost of devices (PC and laptop), high internet charges and lower
wireline connections have been some of the major factors inhibiting broadband
penetration. Broadband is one of the key catalysts for economic development and major
initiatives by both the government and service providers are needed to increase its
penetration.
52. 52. 52 Spectrum Allocation 4G Spectrum availability is one of the major concerns for the
industry. Lack of adequate spectrum which is the most integral part of the mobile
telephony sector could hamper its growth severely. However, the spectrum allotment has
been the most controversial issues in the Indian telecom sector. The smooth process of
scheduled 4G spectrum allocation is likely to be one of the key factors affecting the
industry dynamics, going forward. Given the highly-competitive nature of the Indian
telecom industry on one hand, and limited licenses in the 4G network on the other, the
risk of excessive biding by the service providers has increased. Irrational bidding,
especially in some circles, might render 4G services financially-unviable. Further, there
exists a risk of delay in allotment of proposed spectrum to the service providers who have
successfully bid for the 4G spectrum Other Growth Inhabiting Factors While the
implementation of mobile number portability is likely to aid improvements in quality of
service, it is also likely to increase the churn out ratio significantly. The service providers
are likely to turn to the VAS as a service differentiator; however, widespread VAS
deployment is restricted due to language and illiteracy. The deployment of 4G services is
likely to help the emergence of new VAS. Mass acceptance will be crucial for the success
of 4G services in India. Comparatively higher cost of handsets required for accessing 4G
services is likely to be one of the major roadblocks in mass 4G adoption in India.
53. 53. 53 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
54. 54. 54 SCOPE OF STUDY This study covers customers about Reliance JIO in the areas
of Muradnagar. The study makes effort to ascertain the satisfaction level of customer of
Reliance JIO.Through survey So that company would be able to come up to the
expectation level of its customer. The company can come up to the expectation only by
finding out the problem that customer are facing during their purchase of Reliance JIO
products. The subject has been taken for the research as it plays key role in the success
of Telecom sector. No company can think of selling their product without having satisfied
customer. No company can survive in long run without coming up to the satisfaction level
of customer. In short it is the level of satisfaction that is link between end-user and
company. As long as the company is able to satisfy its customer, customer would remain
in the bracket of loyal customer. Hence it is very essential to understand the customer
satisfaction and to measure the satisfaction level time to time as there is always scope of
improvement. The research will also be beneficial in analyzing the overall market position
of the company and measures which should be adopted by the Reliance JIO to increase
their market share in the region of Muradnagar.
55. 55. 55 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
56. 56. 56 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY 1. To study of customer satisfaction level on
Reliance JIO products & services. 2. To find the market potential and market penetration
of Reliance JIO products & services offerings in Muradnagar.
57. 57. 57 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
58. 58. 58 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY RESEARCH DESIGN: The purpose of the
methodology is to design the research procedure. This includes the overall design, the
sampling procedure, the data collection method and analysis procedure. Marketing
research is the systematic gathering recoding and analyzing of data about problem
retaining to the marketing of goods and services. The essential purpose of marketing
research is to provide information, which will facilitate the identification of an opportunity
of problem situation and to assist manager in arriving at the best possible decisions when
70
such situations are encountered. Basically there are two types of researches, which
according to their applicability, strength, weaknesses, and requirements used before
selecting proper type of research, their suitability must be seen with respect to a specific
problem two general types of researches are exploratory and conclusive. 1. Conclusive
Research: It is also known as quantitative research; it is designed to help executives of
action that is to make decision. When a marketing executive makes a decision are
course of action is being selected from among a number of available. The alternatives
may be as few as two or virtually infinite. They may be well defined or only vaguely
glimpsed. Conclusive research provides information, which helps the executives make a
rational decision. In some instances, particularly if any experiment is run, the research
may come close to specifying the precise alternatives to choose, in their cases especially
with descriptive studies the research will only particularly clarify the situation and much
will be left to the executive’s judgment.
59. 59. 59 The type of research here is “Descriptive Research Design”. This kind of design is
used for more precise investigation or of developing the working hypothesis from an
operational point of view. It has inbuilt flexibility, which is needed because the research
problem, broadly defined initially, is transformed into one with more precise meaning in
exploratory studies, which in fact may necessitate changes in research procedure for
gathering relevant data. The characteristic features of research are as follows: –
Flexible Design Non-Probability Sampling Design No pre-planned design for analysis
Unstructured instruments for collection of data No fixed decisions about the
operational procedures Sample Size Sample size refers to the numbers of respondents
researcher have selected for the survey. I have selected 300 sample units from market
and individual customers. Sampling Technique The sample design provides information
on the target information and final sample sizes. I used conveyed convenient sampling
surveyed in research. Sampling Area: While conducting sample,I went many places of
Muradnagar areas-Railway road, Kasba road,Rawli road,Sarna road,Sainthali,Duhai etc.
60. 60. 60 Data collection tool I have used Questionnaire, as the research instrument to
conduct the market survey. The questionnaire consisted closed ended questions
designed in such a way that it should gather maximum information possible. The
questionnaire was a combination of 15 questions. If choices are given it is easier for the
respondent to respond from the choices rather they think and reply also it takes lesser
time. Because the keep on responding and one has tick mark the right choice
accordingly. Data was collected through two sources: Primary Source: Primary data was
collected directly from the customers through a questionnaire. Secondary Source: The
secondary source was the company website and my colleagues. Method of sampling
Convenient sampling is used to do sampling as all the customers in the sites are
Surveyed.. Data Analysis Data analysis was done mainly from the data collected through
the customers. The data Collected from secondary sources is also used to analyse on
one particular parameter. Qualitative analysis was done on the data collected from the
primary as well as secondary Sources.

82. 82. 82 LIMITATIONS
83. 83. 83 LIMITATIONS 1. The first problem I faced is in getting the co-operation of the
customers. Many of the respondents I approached did not agree to the need and utility of
the project and hence did not agree to provide me with information. 2. The behavior of
the customer is unpredictable which may result in the lacking of accuracy in the data. 3.
As the sample size of the survey was so small and comprise of only 300 customers, the
results may have some prone to errors. 4. Study accuracy totally based upon the
respondents response. 5. Stipulated short span of time for survey.
