全球最大、资费最便宜的电信市场面临着存亡危机

NEW DELHI: From being the world's cheapest and fastest growing market, India's telecom sector is sputtering as it faces life-threatening liability running into billions of dollars, a crisis that may alter the character of an industry that has already seen a painful price war destroying profits and push several operators out of the market.

新德里:作为全球最大、资费最便宜的电信市场,印度电信行业正面临着威胁生存的数十亿美元债务,这场危机可能会改变这个行业的性质,该行业经历了一场痛苦的价格战,利润丧失,几家运营商被挤出市场。

The Supreme Court order for including non-core revenue in telecom groups' gross adjusted revenue -- the figure on which the levies are charged -- revived the rivalry between the old operators and Mukesh Ambani's low-cost upstart Reliance Jio during 2019, but there are signs of a truce with the rival camps agreeing to raise tariffs and also favouring regulator's intervention in fixng floor or minimum tariffs.

印度最高法院下令,将非核心收入计入电信集团的调整后总收入,此举在2019年再度引发了老运营商与穆凯什•安巴尼旗下低成本新贵信实电信Jio之间的竞争。但有迹象表明,两大阵营已达成休战协议,同意提高收费,并支持监管机构干预,设定最低收费。

"We have fundamentally gone from an all (mobile) voice (calling) network to a hybrid network (of voice and internet data), to soon an all data network," said Rajan Mathews, director general of Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI).

印度移动运营商协会(COAI)会长Rajan Mathews称:“我们已经从一个全语音(呼叫)网络转变为(语音和互联网数据的)混合网络,很快将成为一个全数据网络。”

And to survive, a floor price is needed quickly, before March 2020, he told PTI.

他告诉印度报业托拉斯,为了生存,行业必须在2020年3月之前设定最低收费。

With 1 gigabyte (GB) of mobile data costing just $0.26 compared to $12.37 in the US and $6.66 in the UK, India in 2019 emerged as the nation with the cheapest telecom tariff in the world. It was also the fastest-growing telecom market.

在印度。1GB流量的收费仅为0.26美元,而美国为12.37美元,英国为6.66美元,印度在2019年成为全球电信资费最低的国家,同时也是增长最快的电信市场。

But below the surface, a price war since the 2016 launch of Jio had ringed the sector hallow. And when on October 24, the Supreme Court, on a petition moved by the government, ordered payment of past dues according to its new definition of AGR, the country's second-biggest carrier Vodafone-Idea Ltd warned of shut down if no relief is given.

自Jio于2016年发起价格战以来,这个行业陷入了低迷。10月24日,就政府提出的一项请愿,最高法院下令根据AGR的新定义缴纳过去的欠款。第二大电信运营商沃达丰警告称,如果不提供补贴,将关闭该公司。

Airtel and Voda-Idea reported record financial losses but Jio continued to surprise the markets with astonishing profits through the year.

Airtel和沃达丰公布了创纪录的财务亏损,但Jio全年的利润仍让市场大吃一惊。

The representations to the government, worked. The government announced a two-year deferment on spectrum payments for the stressed telecom companies as it worked to avoid the sector becoming a monopoly, soon after the three operators signalled the end of price war by raising tariffs.

对政府提要求是有效的。政府宣布,为陷入困境的电信公司可推迟两年支付频谱费,以避免该行业成为垄断行业。此前不久,这三家电信运营商通过提高收费,发出了价格战结束的信号。

The industry is also png its hopes on fixation of floor price by the regulator to put an end to the sustained hemorrhaging of players and has also urged the Finance Ministry to substantially cut levies to give the industry a fighting chance.

该行业还寄希望于监管机构设定底价,并敦促财政部大幅削减税收,给该行业一搏的机会。

How is Jio making profits even after very low rates snd other companies are unable to do. It may be for his great management skills.

收费那么低,Jio是如何盈利的,其他公司都做不到。可能靠的是安巴尼出色的管理技能。

They dont make profits. Their strategy is to burn money till their competitors are unable to survive. Then when they go bankrupt, these guys buy them off to get an oligopoly.

他们不赚钱。他们的策略是烧钱,让竞争对手无法生存。对手破产,就把他们买下来,形成寡头垄断。

Their assets will always be higher than any other company. So they will always show profit. Despite loss.

他们的资产将永远高于其他公司,所以总是会显示盈利,尽管是亏损的。

Taxng job creating companies to spend on election freebies is a way to keep the population poor and out of a job.

对创造就业机会的公司征税,用这些钱去买赠品拉选票,这会让穷人更穷。

people paid rs 16 for incoming and outgoing calls too at one time and they earned enough

price war is created by them why govt should intervene?

let them restructure or pack off

govt should intervene only if one company has monopoly.

人们打电话和接电话每分钟要付16卢比,他们赚的够多了

他们发起了价格战,为什么政府要干预?

让他们重组或者关门

只有在一家公司垄断的情况下,政府才应该干预

Due to present govt's wrong policies BSNL and other companies suffered. And also jio played havoc by using Ambanis countless black money. Likewise all most all public sectors such as banks,Insurance and everything biting the dust due to inexperience of the govt.

由于现任政府的错误政策,BSNL和其他公司遭受了损失。而且Jio利用安巴尼数不清的黑钱大搞破坏。同样,几乎所有的公共部门,如银行、保险等等都因为政府缺乏经验而垮掉。
