A Study on the Synoptic Account of the Pricing Policy Followed by the Erstwhile State Owned Telecommunication Services in India

Abstract

The telecom service was started originally to cater to the needs of the administration of the Government. The latter on the services were opened up for the use of the general public. Telecom is recognized as the means for accelerating the distribution of the fruits of the economic growth to all the regions including remote and inaccessible areas in the country. Yet the main objective remained the same, till independence and also for few decades thereafter; until it was realized that telecom development is a must for economic development.
