Top 20 operators
30. August 2009 by amal.
As per Wireless Intelligence analysts (www.wirelessintelligence.com), top 20 operators list is as:
Aggregated top 20 operators and operator groups*, Q1 2009
They contribute 58% of world telecom population. Among these top operators, consolidation is inevitable. Discussions among Airtel and MTN areunder progress. Once the consolidation happens, Airtel-MTN consortium should move to #5. Interesting statistics are for China Mobile, which is 478 million from 2 markets.

Inflation measure @ India
26. July 2009 by amal.
In continuation with my recent blog about WPI as incorrect measure of Inflation, it seems Indian government is moving in right direction. There are definite steps being taken to reconsider Inflation measure in India. As per Mr. Pronab Sen (Chief Statistician - Central Statistical Organisation), new measures will be introduced around Q3, 2010 timeframe. Not only that, there will be four sub-indices i.e. national, urban, rural, state to define Inflation measure at appropriate levels.
This will definitely bring sanity and purpose to Inflation as appropriate measure, which is currently grossly disconnected with WPI as measure. Good to know I know one topic in Economic well, at least thought process is aligned in right direction. Time to move forward and wait for Aug, 2010.

Infalation measure India
10. April 2009 by amal.
I was quite excited almost a month back, once Inflation rate @ India touched almost at 0.0 levels. This is in saving anticipation due to regular household & groceries expenses. To my dismay, I found costing of most of the stuff @ market is inversely proportional to Inflation rate. Is it something to do with our inflation measure which is based on WPI? I find it very ridiculous when Inflation is at zero level and commodity prices at market are still going north-side.
I feel CPI should is very appropriate measure of Inflation. There are two reasons to support that logic:
- CPI impact is immediately visible to the retail consumers; unlike that of WPI which is in favor of produces
- Key contributor for CPI is ‘Food, beverages & Tobacco’ i.e. 47% (almost half of the CPI index); whereas in case of manufactured products composition is at 63% level. Any inflationary impact of manufactured product should be visible in few months; whereas ‘Food, beverages and tobacco’ impact is evident straight-away
Hopefully someday I will understand the economics. With current trend, I love to say “I hate economists theory’; rather always fail to understand
