Research paper 2
(Venkatesh, 2008)
Abstract
With liberalization and subsequent DE monopolization in the
fixed-line telephone service segment in India, the market scenario
changed from that of single-player to multi-players. As the number of
players increased, the level of expectations of the users has also
increased, since in a competitive environment, the consumers not only
have luxuries of choice but also have enough freedom to exert their
preferences and thus enjoy a higher bargaining power. To match the
expectations of the consumers, the Indian telcos have started providing
them with a plethora of value additions, apart from the basic service
offerings. At this juncture it is important to analyze the behavior of the
service users, in the context of their expectations pertaining to fixed-
line services versus their satisfaction levels of the same. This will
provide enough insights on the gaps based on which suggestions can
be provided to the players to sketch out new strategies, based on the
demands of the hour. The paper examines the expectations and
satisfaction levels of the service users, using fixed-line telephone
services, and identifies the service gaps. It also provides the
recommendations to the service providers to gain an edge in the highly
competitive telecom market of India.
Keywords: gap analysis in services, user behavioral research, analysis
of fixed-line services, competition in telecom service segment, Indian
telecom policy, growth of telecommunication services in India.

loyalty of service providers of mobile phones in Saudi Arabia. A
questionnaire was developed and distributed to a convenient sample
throughout the major cities of Saudi Arabia. A total of 775 were
returned representing a response rate of 89.6%. The study showed that
the majority of respondents had prescribed to more than one service
provider at the same time. Additionally, it was revealed that all the
variables tested; price, service quality, brand image and trends, had a
direct effect on customer loyalty of service provider. Results obtained
from this research will offer necessary feedback for improving a
company’s strategy, marketing mix, services, and product offerings,

(Zahoor, 2015)
ABSTRACT Society today has made itself so used to
telecommunication that the world would collapse if it was taken away.
The reason for the tremendous growth of telecommunications is
because we needed a better way to relay messages to each other.
Globalization has made telecommunication an integral part of the
infrastructure of the Indian economy. India's telecommunication
network is the second largest in the world based on the total number of
telephone users (both fixed and mobile phone). It has one of the lowest
call tariffs in the world enabled by the mega telephone networks and
hyper-competition among them. It has the world's third-largest Internet
user-base. According to the Internet and Mobile Association of India
(IAMAI), the Internet user base in the country stood at 190 million at
the end of June, 2013. Major sectors of the Indian telecommunication
industry are telephony, internet and television broadcasting. In this
research paper, main emphasis has been placed to bring to light the
history and development of telecommunication sector in India. It also
uncovers the importance of telecom sector in India and the various
factors that have played a major role in facilitating the growth of
telecom sector in India. Data has been collected from multiple sources
including books, journals, websites, newspapers etc. The paper
describes the current scenario of Indian telecom sector.
