    Guy's pls clear my doubt.

I'd complained about this to customer care and i was told that i'll be charged 80p within plan minutes and 1.2p after 400 minutes, is this true?? :Decepcionado:

    Bharti Airtel can face legal hurdles in Hutch deal ;)

    Source: IRIS NEWS DIGEST (19 December 2006)

    Regulatory restrictions can make it difficult for companies such as Bharti Airtel in case they want to bid for Hutchison`s stake in Hutchison Essar, as they will have to then surrender scarce spectrum, reports Business Standard.

    Analysts said as per the merger guidelines, the merged entity could not hold more than 15 MHz of spectrum in metro and A category circles, and 12.4 MHz spectrum in B and C circles, after aggregation of spectrum held by individual merging entities.

    If Bharti and Hutch were to merge, the new entity would have to surrender spectrum in eight circles as the aggregated spectrum crosses the limits set up as per the department of telecommunications (DoT) guidelines, according to analysts.

    Regulatory experts said the 15 MHZ rules were likely to change as they were not based on logic. One of them said that the rules were made when each individual operator used to get 10 Mhz. However, now that limit has been upped to 15 MHz, these rules will have to change.

    The merger of Reliance with Hutch, however does not violate laws on market dominance. The rules on mergers and acquisitions in the telecom sector clearly state that the new entity cannot have more than 67% market share in each circle (CDMA and GSM combined). Secondly, there should be a minimum of three operators in each circle and finally, prior approvals from DoT should be taken.

    At the moment, if the merger happens, the Reliance Hutch combine will have over 50% market share only in three circles.

    The other two rules which operators have to take into consideration are that an operator cannot take more than 10% equity stake in a competing company in the same circle, and even after acquisition, the Indian partner must have at least 10% stake in the company.

    The shares of Bharti Airtel are trading down Rs 9.95 or 1.61% at Rs 607. The volume of shares traded at BSE is 89,113 (1.47 p.m Tuesday).
