Net user base shrinks as Indians go mobile
NEW DELHI: The year 2007 belongs to broadband, but for the first time in recent memory, the number of internet connections in the country has fallen. The total internet connections in the country declined to 9.22 million in April-June from 9.27 million in the previous quarter, according to telecom regulator TRAI's performance indicator report for the quarter. India is possibly the only country in the world where internet connections are falling.
Analysts said the fall in internet connections was on account of the country's largest internet service provider (ISP), BSNL, witnessing a 2.93 per cent decline in its subscriber base to 2.42 million. Its sister PSU, MTNL, which is the second-largest ISP, also registered a 0.5 per cent decrease in its subscriber base during this quarter.
Orange widens broadband arsenal
Orange has been talking up its plans to be a mobile broadband provider, calling itself "the integrated operator", looking ahead to faster-than-3G HSDPA networks and bolstering its coverage in France using almost-3G Edge technology. Sanjiv Ahuja, Orange CEO, speaking at a press conference in Cannes at this week's 3GSM show, talked up the company's place alongside Equant and especially ISP Wanadoo in the France Telecom stable of companies. Part of the operator's 'Orange Everywhere' initiative is an end user being able to move seamlessly from a broadband session at home to one on the move, even using the same laptop. Ahuja said Orange is learning about broadband from Wanadoo, which in the UK was previously Freeserve. Orange is working with its existing main suppliers going forward but especially with Nortel for trials of HSDPA - which one executive described as "even better than broadband".
Thus snaps up two rivals in £70m spree
The UK broadband market is proving it's still got some consolidation energy left in it, with the news Thus is to acquire two rivals for some �70m and is selling off one arm of its ISP business, Demon. The two companies now joining the Thus stable are ISP, fixed-line provider and mobile B2B reseller Your Communications, bought for Thus shares equivalent to �58.8m, and northern business ISP Legend, acquired for a cash offer of �11.5m. The union with Your Communications will bring cost savings of around �25m annually as well as opening up new services, according to Thus. Legend will be integrated into the UK arm of Demon, which has to date been growing at a much slower rate than the DSL market. The ISP will be repositioned into a small business provider.

BT and NTL get ISP wooden spoon for satisfaction
How much do you love your internet service provider? If you're a customer of BT or NTL, you're most likely to be suffering from a lack of warm and fuzzy feelings towards your provider. A study by utilities comparison website uSwitch.com, which examined the relative popularity of the UK's ISPs, found that PlusNet is the nation's favourite, with BT and NTL picking up the wooden spoon for the largest percentage of unsatisfied customers. All in all, it seems the British are a broadband happy bunch. According to the survey of 16,000, 92 per cent of PlusNet customers are satisfied with their ISP, while BT and NTL - with the fewest satisfied customers - still notched up decent levels of satisfied users, with 81 and 82 per cent respectively. But what makes broadband users happy with their service? The research found that broadband Britain rates connection quality and reliability - rather than price - as the most important elements.
