If you are from the Advertising & Marketing background, then you’ve gotta to love how Tata DoCoMo changed the entire marketing strategies of all the Wireless Operators in the second largest Market in the world [in terms of subscriber numbers] Tata DoCoMo continues to lead the number of Wireless Connections sold in India for the fourth consecutive month. It is a commendable job by a new operator [ most additions are on GSM and not in Tata Indicom, CDMA] The number of Wireless Connections added by Tata DoCoMo in the last 4 months are as follows – August – 3.41 mn, Sept-4.0 mn, Oct-3.86mn, Nov-3.32mn. TCS’ Ramadorai has already dropped the bombshell that they are developing some killer 3G Applications to be licensed or sold to Tata Teleservices, getting ready for the next big wave, already ? Finally, after years of flip-flop, they got it right, and it is high time that the Tata Group plans to consolidate their Telecommunications business.
