DoT allocates spectrum to just 15 cities out of 104

KOLKATA: Reliance Infocomm’s impending CDMA-powered limited mobility blitz may have put India’s cellular flock on the edge, but the actual run up to its December 28 launch is likely to be a bumpy ride.

With less than three weeks to go for the proposed 104-city launch, Reliance Infocomm has received spectrum allocation from Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for only 15 cities. Without spectrum allocation, Reliance Infocomm, it seems, will be unable to launch limited mobility services in the remaining 90-odd cities on schedule.

Apparently, Reliance Infocomm hasn’t also received clearances from the apex Standing Advisory Committee on Frequency Allocation for bulk of the 800-odd base-stations that it proposes to energise by December 28. The company wasn’t forthcoming with an official reaction on the sensitive spectrum release issue. Reliance Infocomm officials remain tightlipped and its spokesperson wasn’t available despite repeated attempts by ET.
