NEW DELHI: Corporate giant Tatas on Tuesday asked the government to seek surrender of excess spectrum lying with GSM operators, a line being aggressively pursued by Reliance Communications chief Anil Ambani.
With this, the top two CDMA players have joined forces against GSM operators like Bharti and Vodafone to seek return of spectrum beyond the contractual amount of 6.2 Mhz.
Rejecting a settlement package proposed by the Department of Telecom, Tata Teleservices Managing Director Anil Sardana said: "It is very dismaying that the proposal again talks about spectrum allocation which is 2:1 in favour of GSM.
"It is this very cause which has pushed CDMA players to move towards GSM as the frequency allocation to GSM has been very liberal."
