ASEAN can utilise India’s telecom expertise: Sinha

I don't know where you pull your number from, and by what criterion. Last time I checked China mobile is the biggest telecommunication company in the world.

By the way I am not underplaying what Chinese telecom companies have been doing or done. Somebody told that India does not have a name globally and it is aimed to just prove that wrong.

If you are talking about internet backbone service provider, a small company called Telia Carrier from Sweden with 420 employees is the currently No 1, Level 3 being no. 2, and Taka is no 3. But is this worth bragging?

Not at all.. But does that mean they deserve to be downplayed?

No. But it is certainly not the expertise your union minister was talking about. Here is what he said:

India’s expertise in taking affordable technologies to remote corners can be leveraged by ASEAN countries in their rollout of digital connectivity initiatives, Union Minister Manoj Sinha said today.

Interesting! On the one hand, Tata Communication claims from its cooperate website that, it controls 24% of world's total internet traffic!

On the other side, from Tata Communication's most recent Investor Presentation, it said it owns 8% of global internet traffic.

This makes me confused. Both figures come from Tata Communication!! But which one we should believe???

Their datas are all questionable including their GDP.

The person who is delusional are you. The data and statistics are available worldwide.

Like I said, India is aftermarket service provider. So this self-boasting is a marketing scheme that lacks substances.

How about we hear a true blood Southeast Asia citizen @Viet think about this? LOL
I know too little about VN telecom market so can't tell. I know some about the Germany. Here the market is totally dominated by Cisco. It is the major player nearly for all big and medium companies if it comes to Internet, data, voice and video solutions. Some firms such as Vodafone buy Huawei equipment because it is cheaper. Also interesting, the Chinese company provides field services to other competitors. I think it is all about the price. I know of a college who worked a while at Huawei. He complained the company paid too little. But all in all Chinese telecom companies play the role of a niche player. So most of other players. I know Tata provides Internet service, but it's market share is minuscule.

Ericsson still plays a big role in networking, DSL, voice and data. Siemens once dominated the market in telephone system but the company is now reaching the dead end.

Siemens failed to catch up the trend when many companies years ago began to switch to IP communications.

Most internet traffic in the world go thru so-called peering points where all national and international providers are connected to. to name a few: Frankfurt, Paris, New York, San Francisco, HongKong, Dubai, Tokyo or in the case of India, Bangalore. 10pct for India may be a correct number. Many western companies outsource simple IT services to India, hence a lot of internet traffic are generated.

Tata offers Internet service in China too. It offers something that domestic companies don't: internet with own proxies without government control.

India police arrest 'world's cheapest smartphone' firm boss

The director of Ringing Bells, the Indian firm which claimed to be selling the world's cheapest smartphone, has been arrested on allegations of fraud.

Mohit Goel was held after one of the phone's distributors claimed it had not received handsets it had paid for.

The Freedom 251 phone, priced at 251 rupees ($3.70; £3), went on pre-sale in February 2016.

But while many customers got their phones, Ringing Bells is accused of not fulfilling all of its orders.

'Similar complaints'
The distribution company, Ayam Enterprises, said it paid 3m rupees ($45,000; £35,800) after Mr Goel persuaded it to distribute the phone.

But it claimed only 1.4m-worth of devices were delivered and alleged staff received death threats if they "kept asking for the money again and again".

Police spokesman Rahul Srivastava confirmed the arrest to the BBC, and said that Mr Goel would appear in court on Friday.

"A number of similar complaints have been filed against him from other parts of the state. We want to investigate these claims thoroughly," he said.

"It's important for us to expose these scams because innocent people end up losing their hard-earned money.

"We are seeing an increasing number of technology-related frauds. I appeal to people to be sure before investing money into such schemes."

'Ponzi scheme'
Ringing Bells first started taking money for the phones in February last year, initially promising delivery by June.

Demand for the cheap handset, which it sold through its own website, caused the company's servers to crash.

At the launch, Mr Goel had said the phone would be locally made as part of the Make in India program, promoted aggressively by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

But there were plenty of questions around the firm's business model, with many asking how it could be offered so cheaply. Several analysts have described the phone as a "ponzi scheme".

I'm already impressed by the Indian expertise :lol:

The minister is pointing to telecom 'products and services'. And the article is also mentioning about the programs India has done in its own country. There is no confusion here just that some people from China are buthurt and ranting here.

The minister is saying that India is ready to extend the similar programs to ASEAN as well.

If this is the same pathetic attitude Chinese are going to show , I am afraid Chinese trolls here will have a tough time here.

If Chinese with their reputation of cheap and unreliable products can build a telecom product company, India can also do that. We are just begining!
You know Huawei's one year revenue is greater than your whole Indian IT industry .

Vietnam is actually an industrial country.
No we are not there yet, still a long way to go. Vietnam would make a huge step forward if she can successfully industrialize the agrarian sector where there is still a large portion of working people.

If Chinese with their reputation of cheap and unreliable products can build a telecom product company, India can also do that. We are just begining!

Let's see what we have here.

1. You say Indian companies are good at Telecom.
2. Chinese hardware is crap
3. Yet all Indian companies, which are supposed to be good, use Chinese hardware.

Which school did you learn debating skills from again? Or are you 14?
