  1. I In nt te er rn ne et t S Se er rv vi ic ce e P Pr ro ov vi id de er r Imagine a computer system with a built-in modem and a router, but without an internet connection. It is not of much use, is it? Now imagine a system with access to the worldwide web. Imagine the universe of knowledge it opens up to the user at just a click of a mouse. Learning and seeing is so much more due to the presence of the internet. All thanks to the internet service provider. So, who is an internet service provider (ISP)? Very simply put, the internet service provider is a company that provides access to the internet for a fee. It connects your computer to various servers across the world. Every action request that you type into the computer is routed through the IPS to the servers to its destination. For example, when you write an email and send it, it is the ISP that connects the mail to the server and then through other servers to its destination. With the development of the internet in the 1980s, the demand for internet access from the public started rising. The first commercial ISP was established in Australia and the US in 1989. In India, the government opened the internet service sector to private players in 1998. By 2006, more than 389 ISPs had been licensed and were providing services to 8 million internet subscribers in the country. The department of telecommunications had then said that any company registered under the Companies Act, 1956 would be eligible to seek license to become an internet service provider even if it did not have prior experience in the information technology or telecommunications services. The government had also divided the service areas into three categories including: Category A– Whole of India Category B– 20 territorial telecom circles and four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.

  2. Category C– Secondary Switching Area. In 2007, the government revised the guidelines of licensing and decided to issue a single licence with restrictions in usage of internet telephony. The final guidelines for Unified Licence for internet service providers were issued in 2013. Prior to this, in 2010 the government auctioned the spectrum for 3G and 4G internet service in the broadband wireless segment. By 2013, the user base of internet users in India had reached over 205 million. By then, the number of internet service providers offering broadband service had also increased to 161 of which top providers included BSNL, MTNL, Bharti Airtel, Hatway and You Broadband. Internet services providers are often faced with challenges such as lower average bandwidth of broadband. Another problem is low demand in rural areas or concentration of demand in urban areas. To address the problem of poor internet penetration in rural areas, the government has introduced subsidized tariffs for rural subscribers. India is yet to overcome these challenges beyond which lies huge potential of business for internet service providers.
