Reliance Communications Ventures Ltd’ application to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) seeking spectrum for GSM services across the country has triggered a theory that the Anil Ambani-owned CDMA major may move over to GSM technology over a period of time.
A source in the government said, “the Reliance application suggests that the group wants to move over to GSM”.It is learnt that the group has sought spectrum for GSM services across the country, wherever it’s available.
Also, Reliance Telecom, which already operates GSM services in eight circles with 2 million users, is planning a significant expansion with an investment of around Rs 1,500 crore.
This has come as a surprise as Reliance Communications already has almost 20 million CDMA users in the country.
