FAQs

Q - Why would the operators prefer 3rd party infrastructure provider

A - Due to cut throat competition amongst various operators mutual sharing of towers might lead to conflict of interest amongst the operators.

Indescriminate sharing of tower might not fit into the individual network model of operators

Given the massive expansion of telecom in rural areas, mutual agreement on sharing of towers would still involve heavy capex.

With 3rd party infrastructure provider the maintenance of sites, layout on allocation of towers for an operator in a circle etc. are taken care by the provider. This allows the operators to enhance its focus on improving their capabilities in customer service activities.

Q - What are the major challenges for sharing of Infrastructure?

A - Not all the operators keen on the concept of sharing model

Established operators feel Infrastructure capabilities as an important entry barrier for new player to enter the market. With the sharing of infrastructure new player could easily enter the market leaving very little competitive edge for the established players over others.

Valuation of telecom operators in India is generally on the basis of EBITDA margins. With the fall in Capex & rise in Opex and the continuing downtrend of ARPUs the model is feared to have an adverse effect on valuation of these companies.

Q - Why would the sharing concept still work in India?

A - Given the indiscriminate expansion by individual operators, the Central Government in association with COAI and OSPI has initiated discussion amongst the operators on the issue of sharing of Infrastructure.

Certain key government installations and facilities as security measures have restrictions on no.of sites to be built in the area. At these places the operators will have no choice but to share the infrastructure with others.

To start with, even if couple of operators adopts the sharing concept, given the fierce competition in the market, they will pass on the cost benefit to the customers leading to lower ARPUs. With other operators also having to follow suit, they will have to catch up with the sharing bandwagon to sustain the falling ARPUs

Expansion in semi urban & rural areas will lead to further fall in ARPUs giving further impetus to the sharing concept.

Q - Competitors of GIL

A - Established global players like American Towers have made their foray into the Indian market. Essar Group has created a company Essar Infrastructure for its planned entry into this sector. A Joint Venture between Ericsson & a local co. and Ex Director of Goldman Sachs (Mr.Jedhai) are shortly to start a company into this field.Quipo funded by SREI finance is also a player in this field.

Telecom operators might come together to mutually share the sites

Operators convinced with the model might also toy up with the idea of setting up their own independent infrastructure company.

Q - What is the market share? Where would the growth come from?

A - According to GIL’s projections, 80,000 to 90,000 sites are expected to come up in next 2 years. Of that, almost 40,000 to 45,000 (50%) are expected to be built up on shared basis.

In India, the market is classified into: Metro cities, Class A Circle, Class B Circle, Class C Circle. Class B & Class C circles constitutes Semi urban & Rural areas. Although Metros are already been looked upon as a concentrated market, future growth is expected to come from Class B & Class C Circles.

Class B & Class C Circles have registered a growth of 23% & 11% respectively. On month-on-month basis the incremental growth in circle C has been more than in Circle B.

Of the 4 million new subscribers added last year, 40% to 45% growth has come from B&C circles.

Although GIL will have its presence in all the circles, it will specifically target Class B & C circles. It is expected that in future to drive further subscriber growth operators will have to venture into these circles.
