| Cartelization Unacceptable + Sistema gets Spectrum |
|
In a major setback to the three big telecom operators - Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Essar and Idea Cellular - anti-monopoly watchdog MRTPC issued "notice of enquiry" against them for allegedly forming a cartel to distort competition. They had collectively raised the prices of NLD calls and SMS messages.
In a major development, the government on Thursday started allocating spectrum to new telecom players, with Shyam-Sistema becoming the first to receive radio frequency for starting CDMA services in various parts of the country. They have been alloted spectrum in thinly populated regions of North-East, Assam and Jammu & Kashmir. |
