Reliance has also loaded a carnival calender in their R-world which will enable any person to keep track of the celebrations, Jhamb said. Aptly named as 'Viva 2006', the carnival portal in the R-world has updated schedule and background of Goa carnival, the CEO said adding, "this is an attempt to leverage technology to people who can't come here for the festivities." Reliance Infocomm has sponsored various float parades which will be held between February 25 to 27 in the state beginning from Panaji.

Reliance Telecom, the GSM arm of Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises, has put together a network and infrastructure equipment deal with Motorola, at a price that sets a new benchmark for such equipment in a cost-conscious market like India. As part of the deal, which is estimated to be worth under $100 million, the US telecom vendor's Indian arm is expected to supply mobile switches, 3,000-4,000 base stations and related infrastructure to Reliance Telecom. Reliance Telecom, with 1.73 million subscribers across eight circles, is looking at a sizeable expansion of its services. The deal was scheduled to be announced at Barcelona, at the ongoing 3GSM World Congress, but the announcement was put off as Anil Ambani could not attend the event, sources familiar with the deal said. But both companies were slated to make a joint announcement on the issue soon, the sources added. When contacted, a Motorola India spokesperson refused to comment. Sources in ADAE also declined to comment. The buzz in Barcelona, where Ambani's presence was keenly awaited, is that the Motorola deal is extremely competitive in pricing terms for Reliance Telecom. "It is one of the cheapest prices quoted for GSM equipment," the sources added. Motorola's equipment will come with switches made by Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer Huawei. Motorola and Huawei have a worldwide agreement for mobile switches, the core of a network. Given its low-cost pricing strategy, it is being speculated that the Huawei component is at a rock bottom $2 per subscriber at the switch level, when compared with over $10 in the international market. According to international market prices, a base station can cost between $150,000 and $180,000. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has estimated the cost of a base station at about $160,000. The equipment deal comes even as sources in the industry said the Anil Ambani-promoted company was in talks with China Mobile (Hong Kong) to offload stake in Reliance Telecom. Recently, Russia's AFK Sistema has also evinced interest in the company. Reliance Telecom, the undivided Reliance group's first foray into telecom in 1995, had a market share of 2.79 per cent in January 2006. It provides mobile services in West Bengal, Kolkata, Bihar, Assam, the Northeast, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Himachal Pradesh. Reliance Telecom is 65 per cent owned by the ADAE, while the special purpose vehicle, Reliance Communication Ventures, owns about 35 per cent. News: Refiff.com

The TATA Group may have to reduce its stake in Idea Cellular to less than 10% over the next three to four months. This is believed to be part of an undertaking given by the Tatas to the government to ensure compliance with licence conditions which stipulate that the same person or entity cannot hold more than 10% in two telecom operators (telcos) within the same circle, according to industry sources. The Tatas currently have interests in two telcos. Its flagship telecom company is Tata Teleservices (TTSL), a CDMA mobile operator with a national footprint. In addition, it holds over 48% in GSM operator, Idea Cellular. The AV Birla group holds the remaining stake in this company. Incidentally, Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group also operates GSM and CDMA licences in the same circles, but under different companies (Reliance Telecom and Reliance Infocomm, respectively). It is, however, not known if the same stipulation would apply to the ADA group. At the time of migration to the Unified Access Service Licence, CDMA services were classified as another variant of mobile telephony on par with GSM — prior to this they were referred to as wireless in local loop, WiLL offering, under the basic licence. The application of the 10% rule kicks in depending on when the networks were built. Industry sources said that since both the GSM and CDMA networks of the ADA group (earlier part of Reliance) were built prior to the Unified Access Service Licence, the rule may not apply. However, there does not seem to be clarity on this. Last August, the DoT wrote to the Tatas regarding its stake in Idea Cellular. In response, the Tata Group is believed to have recently written to DoT assuring them that they would be reducing the Group’s shareholding (direct or indirect) in Idea Cellular by the end of the first quarter of the next fiscal (FY07). Reliable sources confirmed that the Tatas plan to comply with the licence conditions.Sources said both the Tatas and the Aditya Birla Group have covenants with lenders preventing them from reducing their shareholding. Industry sources said that negotiations were on to get these restrictions removed. “We are initiating steps to seek the release of these restrictions imposed by the lenders and to seek their permission to reduce the equity holding of the Tata Group to less than 10% in Idea Cellular,” says a communication sent by the Tatas to the DoT. However, the Tata Group is unlikely to offload its entire shareholding in Idea. It is likely to retain less than 10%. Sources said the Tatas might restructure their holding in a manner which, while complying with the DoT guidelines, does not require them to sell out completely. Investment banking sources say the Tatas have been in discussions with potential buyers for selling their stake in Idea for some time now. While some say the Tatas are in talks with private equity investors, others maintain they are in talks with some Malaysian telcos. The Aditya Birla Group and the Tatas last year bought out the 33% stake held by US telco Cingular in Idea. There has long been speculation that Idea may opt for an initial public offer (IPO). That could also provide a potential exit route for the Tata Group. News Source: The Economic Times
