Posted on by Comarete

Rapid growth of the Telecom subscribers resulted a huge load on the existing infrastructures of Indian Telecom Operators.Due to the call drops, network congestions,coverage and quality of service, these are key challenges faced by the subscribers.

Although all the operators started working to address these challenges, still the churn rate is increasing day by day. Now due the Mobile number portability, subscribers churn rate has been increased significantly.

Due to the presence of various telecom service providers in the market, this market became customer centric. For the longer association of the subscriber, Telco should not only improve their QoS by enhancing their infrastructures and coverage but also they should focus more on Managing Customer Experiences.
