Mobile users stranded in cell- WiLL transit jam TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 2003 01:21:28 AM ] NEW DELHI: Mobile phone users were on Friday caught in the crossfire between warring private cellular operators and public sector telecos, BSNL/MTNL, as services got disrupted in the Capital. Hutchison and Airtel claimed that MTNL today blocked calls from their networks to its own and vice versa, while MTNL blamed the two private cellular operators of blocking calls. There are more than 15 lakh cellular subscribers of the two operators. Later in the day, calls from MTNL’s network to the cellular networks were transiting. However, it was difficult to make a call to MTNL’s fixed line subscriber from a cellular network. “Such a problem was registered about five years back when there was a strike by the MTNL employees,” said Hutchison’s Delhi head (marketing) Harit Nagpal. He said that there was no problem with the Hutch network. The company’s call centres have been flooded with complaints from subscribers unable to receive or make calls to landline phones despite repeated attempts, Mr Nagpal added. Asked whether MTNL had resorted to blocking cellular operators’ calls, he said: “Our senior management has been trying to establish link with MTNL management but without success.” MTNL officials blamed the private cellular operators for blocking the calls. “Our switches are working properly. The cellular operators are blocking the calls as they want to malign us,” said an MTNL official. economictimes.indiatimes.com

Ok Ben, I’ll byte- Re: No speculation on Seybold's controversial statements? 1.>>> Secret GSM1x trials ongoing in England, France and Germany? <<< It’s gotta be the joint venture between AWE & DoCoMo. Now that they’ve got their WCDMA networks up and running successfully ahead of schedule and garnering volumes of crossovers in both the U.S. and Japan, they’re in need of another challenge. Their hope with GSM1X is to stop the further deployment of CDMA2000 networks. With both GSM1X and WCDMA they can virtually stop Qualcomm in its tracks as there is no further need for CDMA2000. 2. >>>Another 1x/GPRS ASIC manufacturer? <<< It’s gotta be either of the two new Qualcomm ASIC licensees- Agere Systems or EoNex Technologies. None of the six incumbents have come up with anything in 10 years so it’s gotta be one of the new entrants with fresh ideas. I did like this statement from Andy - . “You are going to see by Q3 2003 the ability to deliver…. LARGE QUANTITIES …..of handsets that work across multiple networks (MSM6300- GSM/GPRS –CDMA2000 1X) . THE BEST IS YET TO COME-
