Reliance Confirms Gsm Plans TeleGeography - Washington India's Reliance Communications has confirmed that it has applied to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for GSM spectrum in 21 of the country's 23 telecoms circles. Reliance offers CDMA services in twenty circles, and GSM services in eight, mainly in the east of the country. The application for more GSM spectrum comes amid increasing complaints from Reliance about the level of royalties it pays Qualcomm for the purchase of CDMA handsets, arguing that high costs have restricted its ability to compete with operators offering cut price GSM handsets. It has applied for permission to roll out GSM networks in some regions where it already offers CDMA services.

Business Standard: Saturday, September 08, 2006 Reliance Communications, the largest CDMA-based service provider in the country, has reportedly applied to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for GSM spectrum in 21 out of the 23 telecom circles in the country, under the Unified Access Service License (UASL). In February, the company had applied for GSM spectrum in the circles of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Uttar Pradesh (East and West circles), and Jammu and Kashmir. The latest is a fresh application, wherein the company is seeking GSM spectrum in all the remaining circles to launch a nation-wide GSM network. Reliance Communications already provides GSM cellular services in circles including Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa, Assam, and the North East, with a total subscriber base of around 2.85 million. As regards the latest application, DoT officials say they will look into it only when Reliance submits a detailed business plan with regard to foraying into GSM services, which the company has apparently not done so far. DoT has also informed Reliance that due to a spectrum crunch, the latter will have to surrender some of its CDMA frequency in order to get GSM spectrum in exchange. To this, Reliance has responded saying that their latest move is very much in-sync with their enhanced focus on GSM, but that it is equally clear that they will continue their emphasis on CDMA, while looking at deploying GSM for future expansion. According to Reliance, this is very much what is being done by other global CDMA operators

Mumbai, September 8, 2006

Bharti Airtel, Reliance Telecom and a couple of other Indian mobile operators have evinced interest in bidding for a GSM-based mobile service licence in Bhutan. This would be the second mobile licence in the Himalayan kingdom, which has a population of just under 7 lakh. Interestingly, government owned entities have been barred from bidding, implying that all state-owned operators in the region, including Indian PSUs MTNL and TCIL, will not be able to participate (the two together operate a mobile network in Nepal). The foreign bidders will have to partner with a Bhutanese company and will be able to take a maximum 49 per cent equity stake in the joint venture. Radio frequency spectrum of 2x10 mhz will be provided to the licensee while the band, yet to be specified, will be assigned to the licensee in accordance with the terms and conditions of the licence. The licensee can offer mobile virtual network operation services and will be required to abide by mobile number portability. Bhutan had invited global bidders in a bid to liberalise the country's telecom industry, as local operators do not have adequate funds to roll out services in the mountainous region on their own. Licence operators will have to offer mandatory services like emergency, directory enquiry, operator assistance, national and international long-distance services through any licensed operator's network or its own network, in addition to other optional services. Bhutan started mobile services in November 2003 and has about 50,000 cellular subscribers and over 40,000 fixed-line customers. State-owned Bhutan Telecom Ltd is the sole operator until now. Indian PSU Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd completed the expansion of the GSM network and its pre-paid billing system, along with the annual maintenance contract, at a combined cost of $3.03 million in Bhutan.

Almost three months after receiving the bids, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) has issued a letter of intent (LoI) to Reliance Communications Ventures Ltd for carrying its domestic long-distance traffic, other than between Delhi and Mumbai, it is learnt. The NLD project with Reliance will be implemented in phases, it is believed. To begin with, Reliance will carry the long-distance traffic of MTNL that terminates in the Reliance network. Meanwhile, MTNL continues to negotiate with its sibling Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) for carrying NLD traffic on some routes at better rates. Besides Reliance, two others—Bharti Airtel and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL)— had bid for MTNL’s national long distance (NLD) tender. According to an MTNL official, Reliance emerged as the lowest bidder. The deadline for receiving the bids was May 24. MTNL chairman and managing director RSP Sinha had recently told reporters that, “inviting bids is purely a commercial decision to get best rates for carrying and delivering our STD traffic.” Having bagged an NLD licence recently, MTNL has started carrying the traffic between Delhi and Mumbai itself on bandwidth leased from VSNL. Under the new arrangement, MTNL slashed its Delhi-Mumbai calling rates (on landline) from Rs 1.90 per minute to Rs 1.20 per three minutes on a three-minute pulse from June 1. So far, BSNL had been carrying the national long-distance traffic of MTNL on all routes, including the lucrative Delhi-Mumbai sector. Interestingly, when MTNL floated its national long distance telephony tender, BSNL stayed away from bidding. However, negotiation between the two telecom PSUs has been on all along. It is understood that MTNL’s NLD traffic translated into business of around Rs 900 crore per annum for BSNL. On an average, BSNL charges 65 paise per minute for carrying MTNL’s NLD traffic. And, MTNL found the rate steep, subsequently leading to its NLD tender. Through competitive bids, MTNL wanted to save around Rs 400 crore per annum on carriage of NLD calls. However, MTNL cannot do away with BSNL altogether as BSNL’s telecom network is the widest across the country. BSNL is the only operator providing connection to the remotest parts of the country. In India, the total NLD business is worth around Rs 4,000 crore per annum, out of which Rs 1,000 crore is for the Delhi-Mumbai sector alone.

The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTPC) has refused to issue ‘cease & desist’ notice to Reliance Telecom, charged with failing to provide free incoming call facilities to its subscribers. While passing the order recently, MRTPC chairman justice B K Rathi observed that the private telecom operator could not have provided free incoming call facility up to April 2000 in defiance of the Delhi High Court order, which had struck down the proposal in September 1999. Besides, the proposal to have free incoming calls was also subject to the implementation of calling party pays (CPP)-based tariff by the department of telecommunication, he added. As all the telecom companies have now provided free calls following the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) regulations, the case is only of an academic interest now, the commission observed. The DG (I&R), after investigations on a complaint referred to it, had in its preliminary investigation report said the private telecom operator had adopted deceptive practice as it had failed to provide free incoming call facilities to its customers, as promised, in anticipation of the implementation of the Trai regulations. However, Reliance had refuted the charges contending that the agreement to provide free incoming calls could not be implemented as the proposal was struck down by the Delhi High Court.

The Department of Telecom (DoT) on Tuesday started consultation process with private telecom service providers on the proposed uniform call rates for the country, christened ‘OneIndia’. According to sources, cellular operators welcomed the concept while proposing that long distance service providers like Bharti and Reliance, which have paid hefty entry and licence fee for STD licence, should be compensated. At the meeting chaired by JS Sarma, chairman of telecom commission, the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said the concept would be useful only if inter-circle STD calls were allowed to operators. At present there are four STD operators — Bharti, Reliance, BSNL and VSNL, who carry the long distance traffic of the rest of the service providers and levy carriage charges of Rs 1.10 per minute, besides 30 paise each towards termination and access deficit charge. When contacted, COAI director general TV Ramachandran said the meeting was fruitful as most the operators were able to give their views and hope to see the policy taking off soon.

India’s leading private telecom companies Bharti and Reliance Infocomm will be partnering with Pakistan Telecom to lay a fibre optic network from Lahore to the Indo-Pak border at Wagah. The project was discussed at the Indo-Pak commerce secretary level talks here on Tuesday, during which New Delhi assured Islamabad that it would support the initiative, official sources told PTI. Pakistan Telecom is the only operator in that country and is keen to set up a link with India to bring down internet and data leased line costs. Currently Pakistan is connected to the world only through a single undersea optic fibre link, the South East Asia, Middle East and Western Europe-3. As per the designed feasibility, companies involved on both sides will get a share of the revenue under a commercial agreement. Commerce secretary SN Menon had said: “telecom networking between us would help close interaction between the citizens of the two nations.” —PTI

Reliance Infocomm has announced waiver of late payment fee for its Mumbai customers whose bills were due for payment between July 25 and August 4 during the period in which the city reeled under torrential rains and its aftermath. Over the past one week, Mumbai and surrounding areas have gone through an unprecedented ordeal and this facility is intended to bring relief to our postpaid customers, said Mr. Athul Jhamb, CEO, Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa Circle. Amid the century's worst rains on July 26, Reliance Infocomm's network was largely operational enabling its subscribers to keep in touch with their kith and kin owing to its intrinsic robustness and the company's effective disaster management processes, Mr Jhamb claimed. Reliance Infocomm Ltd, an Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises group company, is India's largest private information and communications services provider, with a subscriber base of over 11 million. Reliance Infocomm has established a pan-India, capacity, integrated (wireless and wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network, to offer services spanning the entire Infocomm value chain.

India's Reliance Industries Ltd. said its board had approved a plan to spin off its power, telecom and financial services interests into four separate holding companies, with effect from September 1. The spin-off of holdings in Reliance Infocomm, Reliance Energy Ltd. and Reliance Capital Ltd. to its shareholders is part of the settlement of a dispute between the Ambani brothers who run Reliance, India's largest private-sector group. All shareholders of Reliance Industries (RIL), would be issued one share in each of the four demerged holding companies for every Reliance share held, according to the company statement, which was released late on Friday. The four demerged companies are Reliance Communication Ventures Ltd., which includes Reliance Infocomm and global telecoms carrier FLAG, Reliance Energy Ventures Ltd., Reliance Capital Ventures Ltd. and Global Fuel Management Services Ltd. Reliance said a group of "specified shareholders", holding a combined 12.2 percent stake in Reliance Industries, would not take shares in the four demerged companies. "The shares of the resulting companies will be listed on the stock exchanges in India, where RIL shares are currently listed, thus providing liquidity," the Reliance statement said. Analysts say the spin-off will unlock value for Reliance and its shareholders and boost its shares. Brokerage Enam Securities estimated Reliance Infocomm, which has more than 12 million cellular subscribers, could be valued at $8 billion. Based on this, it said in a research report that Reliance Industries shares may be worth 916 rupees.
