population or 337 million people would use a smartphone in 2018 -- a 16 per cent
growth which is the highest rate of any country in the world

which uses telecom services as well as encourages other generation to use.
Taxation Laws - he recent Trai regulation on MTC (mobile terminating call) is also surprising and alarming,
especially the road map to zero paisa MTC. Nowhere in the world where incoming calls are
free, have we seen zero MTC. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is further adding to the
industry’s concern, effectively increasing the tax from 15% to 18%. Currently, the licence fee
and SUC cannot be set off against GST.
Entry mode regulation +/- Controlled by Govt
Social Policies + Govt is launching multiple scheme dependent on mobile services/number like linking aadhar
card to mobile, bank account link to mobile, subsidy linking and so many.
