We’ve already reported Russian giant Sistema is entering the Indian mobile market. Now they [Sistema] along with their newly acquired company, Shyam Telecom, became the first new telecom operator to get pan-India start-up spectrum to offer mobile services.
India’s Communication and IT Minister A Raja has signed the file for allotting CDMA spectrum to Shyam Telecom for 21 circles except Rajasthan where the company is already offering services under the Oasis brand.
Shyam-Sistema has started rolling out network in various parts of the country and is hoping to start the services soon. They will be the third private CDMA-based pan-India operator apart from Anil Ambani’s Rcom and Tata Teleservices.
Other new telecom operators like Datacom, Unitech, Loop Telecom and Swan Telecom got the GSM frequencies in six circles and the government is looking at the availability of spectrum in other circles, too.
