...Consultation Paper No 3/2011 TELECOM REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF INDIA Consultation Paper On Green Telecommunications 3rd February, 2011 Mahanagar Doorsanchar Bhawan Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg New Delhi-110002 Preface Operation of telecommunications networks requires electrical power. The expense on energy accounts for a significant share of the operational cost of these networks. This is particularly so in the rural areas where availability of power is uncertain. The use of diesel generators to ensure continuous power supply has the disadvantage of increasing the greenhouse gas emission and consequent enlargement of the carbon footprint which has a deleterious impact on the environment. While contribution of the telecommunications sector to the global carbon footprint is low compared to other sectors like transportation and construction, it nevertheless contributes a noteworthy share and increasingly so with growing reach of the telecommunications network. Efforts are afoot, all over the world, to find measures to deal with this issue. As the second largest and fastest growing market in the world, there is need for India to be conscious of the concerns in this regard. Besides, as a country heavily dependent on import of petroleum products while being abundant in renewable energy sources there is scope for innovative measures towards making telecommunications green. It is in this regard that TRAI believes that this is an opportune time to discuss the related issues...

...INTRODUCTION 0.1. BACKGROUND Mobile telecommunications industry has grown exponentially over the last two decades (Kenny and Keremane, 2007). In some countries, the mobile sector has become a critical indicator of economic development. Mobile technology provides a unique opportunity for the developing countries where telephone diffusion has been very low. Specifically, due to its comparatively low investment requirements, mobile telecommunications allows these countries to take advantage of technological innovations to provide communications services in the areas with limited or no telephone network (Noll, 2000; Thompson and Garbacz, 2007). However, the potential of mobile telecommunications has not been fully utilized in many parts of the world. This is evident from its uneven pattern of diffusion, with over 94% penetration rate in Europe in contrast to that of 22% in Africa (ITU, 2007). In the last decade, mobile communication in Ghana has grown rapidly and users benefit from smaller devices and longer lasting accessories. Wider bandwidths are always available from competing firms who task themselves with setting new communication standards within the industry. This has called for a critical attention for mobile telecommunication service providers to utilize a multiplicity of strategies in sustaining current customer base and bringing new ones on board and to make these customers very loyal to the brand. One major tool being used is sales promotion. This communication...
