Tata’s bid adieu to Chinese – ZTE & Huawei for 3G
Just a quick press – if newspaper reports are to be believed, Tata Teleservices a big admirer of ZTE and Huawei Network Gears has struck a deal with Nokia Siemens Network for deploying 3G network in India.
Why is this so important ? I remember that DoT having instructed all the Telecom operators to come up with a migration plan for completely phasing out Chinese Equipment and deploying that of Indian / European / American companies. Sensing the grave situation, ZTE swiftly moved to submit the source code to DoT and mitigate the issue, as they are well aware WTO nor other international pressure will lead no where. However, with Tata’s signing the deal with NSN, their seems to be a strong verbal message being sent to the Teleom operators to put National Interest before anything else. Will RCom and other operators follow the footsteps of Tata ?

3G Spectrum – $1.8Bn likely bid for All Indian Spectrum
It wasn’t an easy task to estimate the potential clearing bid prices for 3G spectrum in each circle. Taking into considerations various parameters – current subscribers, reach, income levels, etc I assigned a multiple to each telecom circle depending on the growth potential and 3G service absorption capacity.
