HP does not have the largest no. of operators. HP has only 10 commercially launched networks whereas Chennai has 12(13 if you count Loop Mobile too)

PRASHANT – Every operators pays 20P PER MIN IUC so 1 PAISE PER SEC = 60 SEC PER MIN…. so why cant DOCOMO continue to offer per second tariff?
Its PAY PER SECOND – WITHOUT ANY PACK – FOR LIFETIME!
>>imho… They can’t continue offer per second tariff, unless any change comes in IUC regime done by Trai…

Cheers’ tariff is likely to affect TataDocomo’s continuous non-stop growth, imho… They can’t continue offer per second tariff, unless any change comes in IUC regime done by Trai…

They either have to bring juice-up with per minute tariff or else they have to complicate their tariffs like Uninor, for example 10p for the call connecting charge and there-after 1p/2sec tariff for local offnet and 1p/5sec for LOCAL ON-NET calls with a STV valid for 1 year…
