Face-off: Telcos appeal against ban on 3G roaming pact

Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular, the Indian unit on Friday appealed to the government ban on 3G roaming agreements, a warning would hurt a lot of the necessary investments in this sector.

Telecom Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal will hear the arguments business on Saturday, the Tribunal's website showed.

Government's decision to deny roaming to tackle the impact of three companies that currently offer 3G services outside their local area agreements zones.

The move also adds to uncertainty about once a booming industry that is hurting as well as fierce competition in the telecommunications licensing probe into a massive scandal.

Bharti, Vodafone and Idea of ​​India, the three of the four largest carriers, said in separate statements roaming agreements follow the rules for the licensing of telecommunications and telecommunications ministry was one of the explanations of companies before the 3G airwaves auction last year.

"The opposite attitude of the DOT (Department of Telecommunications) from its previous position sends the wrong signal, not only in the telecom industry but the entire business community," Bharti said.

He said the decision "arbitrary" and "illegal," adding the company will take appropriate steps to protect their rights.

Vodafone India's telecommunications unit, said the Ministry's decision was "totally unfounded" and it will take "appropriate course of action" to protect the interests of their customers.

India raised about $ 13000000000 from the previous year's 3G airwaves auction, which brought much higher bids than expected, and no company was able to get the spectrum in all 22 areas.

Entrepreneurs launched 3G services earlier this year and is now expanding networks, but they are the premium services that encourage a faster Internet browsing, mobile phones and services like video call, has been slower than forecast.

Idea Cellular, India's fourth-largest mobile carrier by subscribers said that is "deeply dismayed" at the telecommunications ministry's decision.

"It is not only an abuse of trust, but also to act, it is expected that the negative impact of more than half of the base of mobile users in India and the negative impact on investor sentiment," the company said.

More than 880000000 for mobile communications in India is the world's second largest telecom market after China. The country's telecoms sector is highly regulated.

The government is overhauling its decade old telecom licensing rules, after a huge scandal came to light last year, but there is little clarity on important issues, including the pricing of second-generation spectrum, and new rules for mergers and acquisitions in the crowded 15-player market.

On Friday, Bharti shares closed 1.8 percent lower, while Idea ended down 3.6 per cent, amounting to losses from the previous session.
