Why The Recent Dip In Mobile Phone Subscribers Is Potentially Welcome

If you thought that recent drop in number of mobile subscribers represented something, n you were right. It did represent fact that a huge number of mobile SIM-cards t in use were eliminated, whilst consolidating or connections, as per a new report.  

This report, by Press Trust of India (via Ecomic Times), quotes Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI) which stated that even connections that were t being used as y should be were eliminated by mobile telecom operators.  

Firstly, number of mobile subscribers overall reduced to 1161.8 million during period ending 31 March, as per Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) data. This also represented a 21.87 million user cut when compared to period ending February 2019.  telcos having lost big, during this period where Airtel and Vodafone Idea whose subscriber base reduced by as much as 12.1 million and 14.5 million during March this year; this was in streak contrast to Reliance Jio which mand to d a user base of 9.4 million in this time.  

w, as per PTI, quoted by Ecomic Times, that also quotes COAI’s Rajan Maws, trend of falling mobile subscribers need t be overly analysed. Maws also attributed this trend to factors such as making minimum recharge plans mandatory by multiple telcos offering prepaid services; this could very well have led to subscribers deciding to keep only one unified number for ir us rar than maintain more than one prepaid mobile number. w, such numbers have been eliminated by telcos leing to a decrease in overall mobile subscribers base.  

Hence if you are a telecom analyst having expressed concerns over slight decline in recent mobile subscribers, n you could feel safe that unsolicited numbers are w eliminated. Only genuine subscribers need most genuine of mobile services. Don’t you think so?
