HC declines to stay spectrum allocation to RCom New Delhi, Jan. 14 In a blow to GSM operators the Delhi High Court on Monday declined to stay the Government’s decision to allocate GSM spectrum to Reliance Communications. Ms Justice Gita Mittal refused to pass any order after the Additional Solicitor General, Mr Vikas Singh, said it would take at least two months to complete the allocation of airwaves. The Cellular Operator’s Association of India (COAI), representing the GSM operators, had filed an appeal in the High Court against the Government’s decision to allow RCom to offer dual technology. COAI’s appeal for a stay was turned down by the court and set the date for the next hearing to January 21. The court also issued notices to the Government, RCom, Tata Teleservices, HFCL, Shyam Telelink among others on the COAI application http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2008/0...11552171000.htm

RCom GSM order: 80-100 mn lines Surajeet Das Gupta / New Delhi January 14, 2008 To account for 10% plus of 3-yr global output. Reliance Communications (RCom), the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group-promoted telecom company, has floated an order for 80 million to 100 million lines for GSM mobile services. The company recently received spectrum from the government to launch GSM services in 14 service areas under a controversial new cross-over technology policy. This will be the country’s largest order for telecom equipment and one of the world’s biggest. The installed production capacity of GSM electronics worldwide is 250 to 300 million lines annually, suggesting that the order could account for more than 10 per cent of global production over the next three years. The order, which will be spread over three years, is expected to be finalised in the next few weeks. The company has begun discussions with leading equipment manufacturers such as Huawei, Alcatel Lucent, ZTE, Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia, amongst others. A meeting of potential suppliers has been called at the end of this week to choose the vendors. An RCom spokesperson declined to comment on the issue. The largest order placed in India was for 45.5 million GSM lines by the state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL). However, the contract ran into a controversy, as a result of which it was halved to 22.75 million lines at a cost of $2.2 billion. Insiders said RCom is negotiating to cut the cost of equipment significantly by offering vendors a large upfront order to vendors. Executives involved in negotiations with the company said it has been looking for a 50 per cent reduction in price to its nearest competitor. In the last big order for GSM equipment, BSNL paid $100 per line for only second-generation (2G) services to Ericsson. The RCom order will have a combination of both 2G (of current level of services) and 3G equipment. Equipment manufacturers said considering the fact that Ericsson refused to accept the full order after other equipment manufacturers walked out of the BSNL deal, few manufacturers are ready to cut price in the interests of volume. “The Chinese might offer you lines at $50 (Rs 1,950) per line but they have no back-up support or experience in India. European companies have the experience and installations in India and for that you need to pay a premium,” said a executive who is negotiating with RCom. RCom, which is the country’s largest service provider of CMDA mobile services, already has GSM operations in six service areas. The company has over 40 million customers, of which 35.5 million are on CDMA while the rest are on GSM services. By adding GSM operations in 14 service areas, it will become a pan-Indian player, competing with incumbents such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone-Essar. Equipment makers said RCom’s pan-Indian GSM plan means that the company will also need to buy more transmission towers. It currently owns about 14,000 towers but will need 50,000 across the country. So far, the company has commissioned 40,000 towers through its subsidiary Reliance Telecom Infrastructure.

Raja wants spectrum charges reworked; operators to pay more? TRAI had suggested that the Government could start levying a one-time spectrum charge on all operators who want more than 10 Mhz. New Delhi, Dec. 27 In a move that could spell further problems for mobile operators, the Communications Minister, Mr A. Raja, has asked the Department of Telecom to review the spectrum charges being paid by service providers. Both the telecom regulator and the Telecom Engineering Centre have already recommended to the Government that spectrum charges should be enhanced. If the Government accepts these suggestions then it will be a double whammy for cellular operators as they are already reeling under DoT’s decision, on Wednesday, to enhance the number of subscriber required to be eligible for additional spectrum. DoT has been asked to give its recommendations within 15 days. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India had suggested that the annual spectrum charges, which is a percentage of the revenues earned by the operators, can be increased for more than 10 Mhz. Therefore, if an operator had 10 Mhz spectrum in a circle the operator should be asked to pay 5 per cent of its revenues instead of 4 per cent at present. Similarly, if the quantum of spectrum goes up to 12.5 Mhz, the charges also increase to 6 per cent of the revenues instead of 5 per cent at present. TRAI had also suggested that the Government could start levying a one-time spectrum charge on all operators who want more than 10 Mhz. For example, an operator in Mumbai, Delhi or Category A service areas would have to pay Rs 16 crore as one-time spectrum charge for each Mhz allocated beyond 10 Mhz. Higher spectrum charges could result in an increase in mobile tariffs warned cellular operators. The Cellular Operators Association of India has already rejected the suggestions made by TRAI and TEC. “Operators are already working on low margins. Despite offering the lowest tariffs in the world, the Indian telecom sector is the most heavily taxed and these charges, if revised upwards, will have implications on operator’s revenues which in turn could impact tariffs,” said a GSM operator. However, for the Communications Ministry, this could be one of the ways to meet the objective of revenue generation for the Government especially in the wake of comments made by the Prime Minister that spectrum allocation policy should not lose sight of filling the coffers of the national exchequer
