For those who do not like going to links, I list key points

Tata Teleservices - We strongly feel that the Goverment's target of achieving 500 million subscribers by 2010 can be achieved only if we are able to tap the rural/uncovered population by providing the affordable telecom services.

Bharti Airtel -The Indian telecom operators are already burdened with high taxation & levies to the extent of 30%. TRAI also recognize the importance of lower levies for the growth of telecom services in rural area and thus, TRAI made its observations in the above recommendations by stating that “…….Despite very heavy taxation vis-à-vis other neighboring countries, ….. our tariffs are the least in the world, a tribute to the competition in the sector and our operators. Reducing levies is essential to drop cost to customer and hence increase in penetration in new markets particularly rural areas ……………."

Nokia Siemens Network -The way we foresee growth in this part of the market, voice and data need to be taken together and technologically we can differentiate as a low cost voice and an affordable BB penetration.

Reliance Communications-The government have recently waived off the license fee on rural wire line phones. We suggest that any policy framework giving relief to fixed wire line phones should also include the wireless phones and the wireless PCOs so that the required goals for increasing the accessibility could be achieved. Since the government has already waived off the license fee on rural wire line connections, we suggest that the waiver of license fee should be extended to fixed wireless phones and PCOs installed in the rural areas as well. This will provide a boost to the operators for their rural operations.
