Only govt licensees can offer telecom services at airport: COAI

NEW DELHI: GSM mobile operators' group Cellular Operators Association of India today threatened legal action against GMR, developer of Delhi International Airport, in case it allows non-telecom companies to offer services within the airport premises.

"We have learnt that GMR has invited some of the non- telecom companies for the coverage of airport premises... Only telecom companies who have licences given by the government can offer the services," COAI Director General T V Ramachandran said.

When contacted a GMR spokesperson said, "we are inviting only qualified companies to bid for offering telecom services."

GMR would be offering services such as internet, Wi-Fi, mobile and PCO services in the airport premises for which it is looking for bidders.
