Will Voda's move lead to a new wave of tariff hikes?
FirstpostThe uncertainty over who wins a licence to continue operations will likely spark a shift among subscribers affected by licence cancellations to bigger players like Vodafone and Bharti Airtel. In a move that might possibly herald the end of the era of ultra-cheap mobile tariffs for Indians, Vodafone, India’s second largest telecom 0perator, hiked prices by20 percent, or to 1.2 paise per second from one paise, for Mumbai subscribers. The development is likely to give traction to a view presented by telecom operators that high reserve prices proposed by the telecom regulator for the new auction of 2G spectrum would raise tariffs for consumers.. Telecom companies last raised prices on some of their services in July-August 2011. While only about 7 percent of more than 900 million telecom users will be affected by the license cancellations, the uncertainty over who wins a licence to continue operations will likely spark a shift among affected subscribers to bigger players like Vodafone and Bharti Airtel.
