CDMA camp divided over spectrum allocation Thomas K. Thomas The Hindu Business Line New Delhi , May 28 The subscriber-linked spectrum allocation policy has divided the CDMA camp with Reliance Infocomm joining ranks with the GSM operators in supporting the Government decision. At a meeting held by the Confederation of Indian Industry to discuss the controversial policy, the other CDMA operator, Tata Teleservices, vehemently opposed the move by the Department of Telecom (DoT) to allocate spectrum according to the number of subscribers. Industry sources said that except for Tatas and the promoter of CDMA technology Qualcomm, the entire industry supported the subscriber-linked spectrum allocation policy. The others who have voiced their support for the policy during the meeting include Idea, Airtel and Hutch. Equipment vendors such as Nokia and Ericsson also supported the policy. State-owned public sector companies Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd are also in favour of the move. Sources said the majority who were present during the meeting took a view that though the subscriber-linked spectrum policy was not the ideal decision it was the best given the situation in India where spectrum allocation has not been done systematically over the years. The Tatas on the other hand took a position that operators would exaggerate their subscriber numbers to get additional spectrum. Coordination team to resolve spectrum row Maran to meet telecom operators next month on spectrum allocation The Ministry of Telecommunications has set up a coordination team to resolve the tussle over the allocation of the spectrum between private mobile phone operators and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). The ministry's move comes after the spat spilt over to the Prime Minister's office. The ministry has asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to come out with recommendations on the pricing pattern for release of spectrum to the mobile phone operators. Dayanidhi Maran, minister for Communications and IT, said that a coordination team has been set up to look into the spectrum issue. Maran said that his ministry is planning to release 45 MHz of spectrum for the operators. "Spectrum will be cleared by year-end. The telecom regulator will come up with recommendations on the price pattern to release the adequate amount of spectrum," Maran said. This move is done with the cooperation of the defence ministry. Maran said that the Group of Ministers is also working on vacating the spectrum from the defence. However, the coordination team will look in to the allocation of it. "Release of spectrum is crucial to meet the growing connectivity across the country. Defence (ministry) is cooperating with us to vacate some amount for commercial purpose," he added. The communications minister said that he would meet the telecom operators next month seeking their response on spectrum allocation. However, on the allocation side, by setting up the recommendation team, the government is planning to end the spectrum war between the CDMA and the GSM operators. With the government's decision to allocate additional spectrum, maintaining a spectral characteristic factor of 2:1 in favor of GSM players versus CDMA operators, it is quite natural that CDMA players will cry foul. Ratan Tata, head of the Tata Group, was the first to speak up against shackles binding his company Tata Teleservices. He fired the first salvo addressing a letter to the prime minister and highlighting the issues ailing the industry. Darryl Green, CEO, Tata Teleservices, voiced his displeasure at the way the spectrum was being allocated. He even went to the extent of terming the current system of allocation as a mechanism for granting favors. Green vouched for Ratan Tata's idea of charging a special fee for the spectrum rather than providing it for free. The Tatas are picking up the cudgel against the allocation, as they are among the worst hit players. The other major CDMA operator, Reliance Infocomm, is largely silent on the issue. Spectrum allocation is also linked to subscriber base, as Reliance Infocomm has close to 19 million subscribers -- more than twice that of Tata Teleservices. Hence, Reliance is maintaining a stoic silence on the issue being content to let Tatas raise the banner of revolt. There could also be another reason behind this disunity. Last time round, when Reliance was facing the music on providing cellular type services (roaming, etc.) instead of sticking to the stipulations of WLL (wireless in local loop) provisions, Tatas had been unusually silent on the issue that afflicted the industry. Reliance Infocomm went on to win the battle and Tata Teleservices also benefited. India adds over 2 million new subscribers to the mobile network every month. A 6-7 month delay in spectrum allocation costs 12-14 million subscribers, which clogs the mobile networks. Telecom majors Bharti, Reliance Infocomm, Hutch, Idea and Tata are in the queue for getting the allotted amount of spectrum to drive their connectivity in more areas. Bharti applied for additional spectrum in August (for Delhi) and the application is yet to be cleared. Hutch applied in June 2005 and is still waiting for allocation. Reliance had applied in October 2005.

Trai comes to the aid of harried phone users TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Pained by having to deal with customer care people at your phone company? Frazzled at explaining to them the same problem over and over again with no result? Unable to rid yourself of your service provider despite repeated requests to terminate the service, because they keep raising new bills? There’s some help on the way. At long last, Trai has written to phone companies to put in place systems to ease some of these problems. Trai has released a set of draft directions that will be finalised after stakeholders send in their comments and suggestions to it by June 6. To begin with, all phone firms will be required to assign a unique docket number for all calls made to the customer care helpline numbers and special numbers for registering complaints and convey it to the customer at the time of such call. For those who have been trying unsuccessfully to shake-off their operators, there is good news. The draft directs telecom companies to disconnect the service within 24 hours of the receipt of a request, either through SMS, e-mail, fax and the like. It is a common complaint that phone companies do not let customers go off their networks easily and continue to raise bills even after the request, saying they can’t terminate the service until bills are cleared — creating a vicious cycle. To break that, Trai has called for adjusting the “security deposit against any pending bills or outstanding dues at the time of request for termination of service.” Phones companies said they were studying the draft. But as initial reaction, a couple of companies said they were already following some parts of the direction. On certain other parts, they said it was difficult to follow and take a call on the subject. As an example, one official said that it was not possible to treat SMS as the final written request for termination of service. On whether e-mail was treated as a written request to terminate the connection, he said the company would need to check that out. Whatever be the debate, it seems that if Trai thrashes certain technical issues out, then life would be a lot easier for customers
