Factors driving growth of the global HetNet infrastructure market: Service providers are facing high pressure from consumers to deliver good quality networks at affordable prices. Unlike earlier, mobile network market is currently driven by customers. The consumer base of service providing companies are diverse, which includes densely populated metro areas, less populated rural areas, metro stations, shopping malls, and other places. In the metro area, people require both personal service such as Wi-Fi for home and business services such as network for company, and a small number of people in rural area mostly require personal services. Installing homogeneous networks in both urban and rural areas is not a suitable solution for service providing companies. HetNet could address this problem by providing continuous network coverage to diversified consumers. In order to tackle this situation, service providing companies are continuously investing in heterogeneous network infrastructure by deploying small cells, Wi-Fi networks, and distributed antenna systems (DAS). This will help the companies to manage increasing coverage and capacity requirement. For instance, in February 2017, Airspan Networks Inc. entered into a strategic partnership with Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, an India-based telecommunication company. Through this partnership, Airspan could deploy small cell network across India to provide high speed internet, voice, and digital services. Furthermore, key players are adopting new technologies such as centralized RAN (C-RAN) architecture, which has centralized functionality and can be shared across a large number of distributed radio nodes. When compared to traditional base stations, C-RAN improves network quality at low cost. Thus, increasing consumer demand for improved signal quality and increasing investment by service providing companies are expected to drive growth of the global HetNet infrastructure market over the forecast period. However, factors such as high initial investment and maintenance cost, complex nature of power consumption, and others might hamper growth of the global HetNet infrastructure market over the forecast period.

Amid Citizen (Amendment) Act or CAA protests this week, Delhi Police ordered telecom operators to shut down voice, mobile data, and SMS services in certain parts of the city – making headlines across the globe for such a move in the capital city of the country.

This was hardly the first Internet shutdown in the country in recent months, and a recent report pegs that India accounted for 67 percent of the world’s Internet shutdowns in 2018.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) this week implemented its revised mobile number portability (MNP) rules. Within the new framework, subscribers can port to a new telecom operator in just two days, with the new process designed to be twice as fast. Also this week, TRAI postponed the abolition of telecom interconnection fees by a year.

Next, this week it was also discovered that if Reliance Jio subscribers do not have an active plan, they can still avail of older Jio plans from before the recent price hike. This can be done through the tariff protection option, from the Jio.com website. Jio this week also introduced data vouchers for Jio Fiber customers, giving them increased data allocation.

WhatsApp security bug, top 10 downloaded apps of the decade

WhatsApp was in the news this week when a security research firm revealed it had discovered a bug that could have allowed hackers to crash a victim’s app, and delete their messages. The attack vector would be a malicious group message sent after gaining access to a group, causing crashes of the app for all group members. This would force them to reinstall the app, but then, access to the group and all associated messages would be lost. Users on updated versions of the Android app will not be affected, as WhatsApp fixed the bug before the vulnerability’s announcement.

This week, a report by analytic firm App Annie claimed that Facebook owns top four of the most downloaded apps of the decade – Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Other apps were Snapchat (fifth), Skype (sixth), TikTok (seventh), UC Browser (eighth), YouTube (ninth), and Twitter (10th) on the list.
