Spectrum allocation

At the same time, the GSM players have been playing their own retaliatory cards, demanding that the government increase the spectrum allocation to each GSM player from the existing 6.2 Mhz. This is vehemently being opposed by CDMA players like Tata Teleservices and R-Com, under the argument that such a move would go against the set norms. Critically, Anil Ambani has even written to the Prime Minister’s Office on this issue criticizing GSM players, thus vitiating the erstwhile industry ‘friendship’ to newer depths.

Clearly, competition in this industry is being fought in two different spaces – within the policy board rooms and of course, within the markets. While R-Com has proven its competence within the customer space, quite sadly, it is definitely the policy lobbying strength/weakness that could make or break the future of this belligerent company, and in fact even the others. It is extremely ironic that the future growth of this sector is being influenced (read, strangulated) by government officials and bureaucrats rather than market forces. But Anil Ambani has been there and done that many times in the past. And one believes that at least right now, with the new GSM licenses, he isn’t complaining... not for the near future at least. Anil is surely one of the strongest faces of the India of today that one could have showcased, and like we mentioned before, he’s just afraid of one competitor...his own corporation... R-Com!
