>No surprise....the Indian mobile operators are planning to challenge WLL in the Supreme Court. Article also says that WLL operators would like to raise rates. I havent seen that before...but I have a hard time seeing how they will make money at a penny a minute> A penny a minute + Rs 500 ($10)/month phone rental. And the subscriber puts up about Rs 5000 in deposit before getting the phone. That's the typical arrangement. BPL Cellular is making good money on an ARPU between $15-20. And the cellular providers had to pay for their spectrum too. Arun
