Leading GSM operators, including Bharti Airtel, has challenged the government's new telecom norms in tribunal TDSAT. The government had increased subscriber base for allocation of additional spectrum and allowed use of dual technology by a single operator -- a move that GSM players say is aimed at benefiting CDMA operators.
