Telecom Sector

The article is an evaluation of the growth of the Indian telecom sector in light of its innovative capabilities and production of intellectual property. The low patent footprint and investment in research and development of the Indian telecom sector shows a lack of focus on innovation and intellectual property creation by the domestic telecom industry, and it is argued that this prevents the sector to tap into its full potential. The economic growth of the telecom sector must be seen holistically, meaning that domestic Indian telecom companies must be internationally competitive and occupy a higher place in the telecommunications value chain. This article argues that regulatory focus needs to shift towards encouraging and protecting intellectual property in India, so as to incentivize investment in expansion of technological capabilities through R&D.

Tremendous Impact

<p>In Nigeria today, we face a serious economic challenge which is as a result of our swindling primary source of revenue (oil), there is fear amongst our economists which is can Nigeria bounce back to what she once was? Can there be an alternative source to serve as a buffer to what we already have. This study aims to bring to prime focus, an industry which has begun blooming in the background. Despite the publicity and popularity enjoyed by today’s telecom giants in the country, there is very little knowledge pertaining to the tremendous impact that it has had directly or indirectly on our economy over the years. Since the liberalization of the telecom industry that brought about the involvement of private investors into the sector, the opportunities and revenues generated has brought about a tremendous effect on the economy. The telecom sector is only second after the oil and gas industry in the amount of finance it contributes to the federal account. This paper discusses some of the value chains, opportunities, revenue that the telecom industry has brought to Nigeria. It uses data obtained from relevant authorities.</p>

Backward And Forward Linkages

This article seeks to interrogate the advantages and disadvantages of beneficiation law for Botswana’s mining industry and its implications for foreign investment protection. Furthermore, it argues that the enactment of beneficiation law could stimulate economic growth and development in Botswana. On a proper analysis of the potential of beneficiation law it seems plain that it may facilitate the integration, of among others, the cutting and polishing segments through the backward and forward linkages in the entire diamond value chain to move Botswana diamond industry a step further as a new and emerging jewellery manufacturing and retail center in order to derive maximum returns from the rough diamond production. Quite clearly, cutting and polishing of diamonds in Botswana is bound to promote employment which in turn will promote demand for goods and services that would have a positive impact on economic growth in Botswana.  The paper concludes that on a balance, the opportunities accruable from the enactment of this law far outweigh the downsides and will not in any way scare investors away as some have perceived it.

<p>During past few years, data is growing exponentially attracting researchers to work a popular term, the Big Data. Big Data is observed in various fields, such as information technology, telecommunication, theoretical computing, mathematics, data mining and data warehousing. Data science is frequently referred with Big Data as it uses methods to scale down the Big Data. Currently<br />more than 3.2 billion of the world population is connected to internet out of which 46% are connected via smart phones. Over 5.5 billion people are using cell phones. As technology is rapidly shifting from ordinary cell phones towards smart phones, therefore proportion of using internet is also growing. There<br />is a forecast that by 2020 around 7 billion people at the globe will be using internet out of which 52% will be using their smart phones to connect. In year 2050 that figure will be touching 95% of world population. Every device connect to internet generates data. As majority of the devices are using smart phones to<br />generate this data by using applications such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Apple, Google, Google+, Twitter, Flickr etc., therefore this huge amount of data is becoming a big threat for telecom sector. This paper is giving a comparison of amount of Big Data generated by telecom industry. Based on the collected data<br />we use forecasting tools to predict the amount of Big Data will be generated in future and also identify threats that telecom industry will be facing from that huge amount of Big Data.</p>

Abstract This study provides a growth-theoretic analysis of the effects of intellectual property rights on the take-off of an economy from an era of stagnation to a state of sustained economic growth. We incorporate patent protection into a Schumpeterian growth model in which take-off occurs when the population size crosses an endogenous threshold. We find that strengthening patent protection has contrasting effects on economic growth at different stages of development. Specifically, it leads to an earlier take-off but also reduces economic growth in the long run.
