SexyGurl 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2006 Whoa ... GE Commercial Finance debt-financed Hutch's entry into India, about 5 years back. And then followed, entire corporate mobile connections to be handed to Hutch. It's to be seen if Reliance can snatch that corporate account for mobiles, from hutch or not.
