The prime purpose of this study was to compare the performance of Public and Private Telecommunication sector with reference to wireless services in Assam Telecom Circle. The paper tried to explore and understand the major similarities and differences existing between the public and private cellular service providers in terms of market penetration effectiveness, their subscribers’ base, revenue earned by them etc. in the above mentioned Circle. National and State level data of Telecom Sector was collected on a periodic basis over time. A critical evaluation had been done with the help of Applied Analytical Research, by using facts and information already available.

The key findings from this study describe that visibly the Private Sector had better performance than Public Sector in terms of few parameters considered in this study, which might indicate a possible development direction for the effectiveness of Public Sector in this Circle.

Abstract: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's recommendations make effective de-licensing possible through a system for 'automatic licensing', subject to transparent published guidelines. Spectrum permits are, however, still strictly controlled by the spectrum advisor with no provision for trading. The regulatory authority needs to reconsider this issue.
