Tatas may join race for GSM spectrum

myiris.com - October 22, 2007

After Reliance Communications (RCom), the Tata Group is believed to be planning to enter GSM mobile telephony sector along with its existing CDMA services.

Tata`s move, comes after RCom received the government`s nod for similar services. This could trigger off an intense battle between the CDMA players and the existing GSM mobile operators like Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular.

Tata Tele seeks DoT nod for GSM services

Press Trust of India / New Delhi October 22, 2007

Tata Teleservices, a CDMA player, today sought the permission of the department of telecom (DoT) for offering GSM-based mobile services across the country.

DoT sources said the company has applied for GSM spectrum for 22 circles under its unified access services licence. DoT, last week, allowed cross-over technology under which an operator can offer both CDMA- and GSM-based mobile services with the same licence after paying the entry fee of an UAS licence, which is about Rs 1,660 crore.

TTSL's CDMA rival Reliance Communications, an Anil Ambani group firm which had applied for GSM spectrum last year, was given the letter of intent last week for starting pan-India GSM service. The company has also paid the required fee.

While RCoM was already offering GSM services under a different licence given to its sister concern Reliance Telecom, it will be a first-time foray for the Tatas into GSM technology.

When granted the necessary approvals, Tatas will be given 4.4 Mhz of initial spectrum to roll out GSM services.

Good if tata comes to GSM, that way consumer will be free from superior but monopolistic CDMA technology and TATA will survive in telecom. But as usual they are last.
