ANOTHER one for those interested in the history of telecommunications from the time of Graham Bell to the mobile world.
The focus: changes that took place across Asia-Pacific.
It also captures the trials and tribulations of Indian firms as the sector opened up to private competition over the last decade. Gupta has gone into depth about government policies and business strategies of the firms, providing a bird's eyeview of the growth in India's telecom infrastructure and the players. The problems aren't restricted to the private sector, but also to the department of telecommunications (DoT).
Gupta provides an eye-opener to new technologies that are at the forefront and will bring fixed and mobile telephony closer.
