The Hindu Business Line : `Telecom expenses likely to go down marginally in 2005'

EXPENDITURE incurred by medium-sized companies in India on telecommunications is likely to go down marginally in 2005 compared with 2004, thanks to the expected decrease in fixed line telecom charges and cellular tariffs, according to the New York-based consulting firm Access Markets International (AMI) Partners, Inc.

According to the findings of a study released by AMI, in 2004 more than 20,500 medium businesses invested almost $596 million in various kinds of telecommunications-related technologies. Seventy-three per cent of this spending was on local, long distance and cellular services.

In the next few years, these companies will spend more on IP-based technologies such as IP phones, IP PBX and IP Centrex.
