mts is getting worst bcoz it changes it mts to mts local calls free in 98 but now it changes to 148 and now it is not giving the 50 talktime so mts go back to your plans

I m not against CDMA companies i just wanna say that CDMA will have a upper hand due to its network, 700mh band and it utlizes spectrum more efficiently then GSM so if some spectrum is vacated due to shift from CDMA TO GSM then that can be utilized for data so that it can give cheap data plans and there is lack of offer in CDMA like GSM in GPRS (98 me 2/3 GB) Some more issues personaly i recomend CDMA for the people who travel a lot as it has wider coverage

Russian CDMA biggie Sistema may increase its stake in its Indian mobile JV, Sistema Shyam TeleServices Ltd (SSTL), to meet a portion of the company’s financing requirement in year 2012. At present, Sistema owns 56.68% of SSTL. The Russian government and the Shyam Group hold 17.14% and 23.98%, respectively while a clutch of minority shareholders own the residual 2.2% in the company.
At present, SSTL runs CDMA mobile services in 20 circles under the MTS brand banner, with the exception of
J&K and North-East. It has 12 million subscribers (including 0.8 million data customers).
Today, 28% of SSTL’s revenue emanates from the non-voice space and that is expected to grow to 30% shortly. SSTL is yet to take a final call on whether it will nationally upgrade its CDMA networks to the EVDO-Rev.B level, which is known to offer faster data speeds and better spectrum utilisation. So far, it has embraced the technology only in Rajasthan.
Till date, SSTL has
invested over $3 billion in network rollouts across its 20 circles footprint.
Meanwhile, SSTL has deferred its plans of launching its initial public offer (IPO) and is currently waiting for clarity on the telecom policy which is to come by October this year.
The move to defer the IPO has been made amidst the lack of clarity in the telecom policy. SSTL had made its intentions of listing on the Indian bourses clear last year.
The telecom sector which has come under intense scrutiny lately on the back of the 2G scam. The sector is currently the focus of several investigations in the context of allocation of 2G licences.

+1. Totally agreed. Only cdma can provide unmatched voice quality which isn’t possible with gsm.
Santu Sovan Mandal July 9, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Same here. I’m from Barasat. I do get around 600kbps during peak hours & 2mbps during non-peak hours.

Friend, you should understand that there are millions of CDMA fans in India who value VOICE CLARITY AND STABILITY over the so called “convenience”. So CDMA will be here, irrespective of those who shift to inferior GSM networks just to flaunt their swanky handsets, yelling “hello hello”(repeatedly wondering why the voice is bad even though the signal is full..and beside him, there will always be a CDMA user who talks seamlessly on his ‘not so good looking’ CDMA phone!

In near future CDMA will be used for data only as people shifting to GSM for convinence and CDMA is more efficient for data then GSM and revenue n margin from data services are better then voice so i think this will be an opportunity for CDMA players specially RELIANCE and TATA INDICOM as they have more spectrum then MTS and bettr coverage hope data terriff will going to come down due to that
Santu Sovan Mandal July 8, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Mts is really really fantastic here. So, this is well deserved.
Mahmood Junaid July 8, 2011 at 7:41 pm
mts should soon upgrade to rev.b network… they should also expand the coverage very fast to meet the competition from 3g players… its sure that cdma network will be used only for data services by customers in near future.. so they should expand evdo network to whole of the country..
