| Tata DoCoMo's Innovative Pricing Can be Disruptive Posted: 17 Jul 2009 11:21 PM PDT The pay per second model has really paid of well for the latest entrant in the Indian GSM space, Tata-DoCoMo. Tata-DoCoMo is the joint venture between India based Tata Teleservices and Japanese mobile giant NTT DoCoMo. Its the only GSM operator in India, who charges per second rate of 1 paise. So, if you speak for say 1 min 20 seconds you will be charged 1 rupee 20 paise. When it comes to other operators, you will be charged for 2 minutes even though you have spoken for 1min 20 seconds. This new pricing strategy from Tata-DoCoMo will certainly change the rules of the GSM game, which is dominated by AirTel and Vodafone. Tata-DoCoMo is also in talks with their joint venture partner NTT DoCoMo and you will soon see mobile handsets being offered from Tata DoCoMo along with the various GSM plans. Tata-DoCoMo has launched its GSM network in 5 regions, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, AP, Kerala and Orissa and they are aiming for a Pan-India presence by the end of October

This is a huge price drop and guess this new pricing will fuel the sales of this handset. Though the handset, does not give touch UI experience that is at par with the iPhone's UI but some of its features are way ahead of iPhone and guess thats what is driving the sales of this handset. Last week I had a talk with a Nokia reseller and according to him, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is doing pretty well in my city, Bangalore. The price cut will add more to its happiness. This move from Nokia might also be a response to the recent | You are subscribed to email updates from Not Another Mobile Phone Blog To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
