Tata Teleservices takes on incumbent GSM operators
New telecom players mull rival association. In a declaration of war against the country’s largest telecom association, the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) and its older members, Tata Teleservices Ltd’s (TTSL) Managing Director Anil Sardana said they were waging a “wilful” campaign to “subvert” the regulator’s recommendation on spectrum pricing which was aimed at equalising the playing field for all competitors.
The attack reflects the open schism in the association, in which TTSL is a new member with other Unified Access Service Licence (UASL) holders such as Loop Telecom , Etilasat DB, Uninor and STel. Source
