December 15, 2006 15:31 IST
Software major Oracle has said it foresees tremendous opportunities in the sphere of communication, mobile TV and broadband in India that would form part of its focus area for the country.

The company has started negotiations for development of software for various companies in these areas, Bhaskar Gorti, senior vice-president and general manager at Oracle's Communications global business unit, said.

He said communication, mobile TV and broadband segment were set to witness high growth in the coming years, which could be seen by the way existing telecom service providers like BSNL, MTNL and Bharti were converging telephony and broadband
services.

"Oracle's service delivery platform creates a platform for design, development, deployment and management of services that lie at the heart of IT and network convergence. The services Oracle provides include simple messaging, rich multimedia and next generation services such as Virtual PBX, IPTV and fixed mobile convergence," Gorti said.

He said the Oracle platform gave operators the ability to accelerate service innovation, consolidate application silos for reduced costs and leverage widely adopted IT practices. "We are negotiating with leading telecom service providers for application service", Gorti said.
