Samsung to source mobile phones in India By Reuters in Calcutta Published: October 9 2001 22:09 \| Last Updated: October 9 2001 22:20 An Indian subsidiary of South Korea's Samsung Electronics is in talks to manufacture CDMA mobile phone handsets locally. Samsung Electronics, the world's fifth-largest producer of cellphones, is working on a range of small phones that work on all the world's important wireless telecom systems such as GSM, CDMA (code division multiple access) and CDMA2000. "We are now discussing with [the] Reliance and Tata [business groups] to make CDMA handsets in India," Sang Suk Lee, managing director of Samsung Electronics India Information and Telecommunication (SEIIT), said on Tuesday. The Indian government in January allowed unlimited competition in the fixed-line business and also permitted basic service providers to offer a limited radius mobile service to customers based on CDMA WLL technology. India's largest business conglomerate, the Reliance group, and Tata Teleservices, part of the Tata industrial group, the country's second-largest business group, have both started fixed-line services. BSNL, India's largest state-run telco which has already launched its limited radius mobile service in eight cities, aims to provide more than 500,000 WLL connections in 25 cities by March next year. news.ft.com
