MTS India Expands Its Network and Offers New Services

MTS India has been expanding its network to cover more areas in the country. This move is aimed at providing better connectivity to its customers.

The company has been actively working to improve its services, and it's been paying off. In 2009, MTS India launched its 3G services in several cities, marking a significant milestone in its growth.

One of the key benefits of MTS India's expansion is that it's making high-speed internet more accessible to a wider audience. This is especially important for people who rely on the internet for their daily activities.

By expanding its network, MTS India is also creating new job opportunities in the regions it's operating in. This is a positive impact on the local economy.

RCom has acquired approximately 9 million customers from MTS India.

This acquisition will bring in around Rs 1,500 crore of annual revenues to RCom.

RCom will assume the liability to pay the government installments for MTS India's spectrum, amounting to Rs 392 crore per annum for the next 10 years.

RCom has acquired MTS India's most valuable 800/850 MHz band spectrum, which is ideally suited for 4G LTE services.

This spectrum will complement RCom's existing nationwide footprint of minimum 5 MHz contiguous 800/850 MHz spectrum aggregating 148.75 MHz.

The acquisition will extend the validity of RCom's spectrum in 8 important circles by a period of 12 years from 2021 till 2033.

RCom has been quite active in terms of mergers and acquisitions, and one notable example is its deal with Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd (SSTL). This deal was approved by the Bombay High Court, allowing RCom to move forward with the acquisition.

RCom will acquire SSTL's 9 million customers and approximately Rs 1,500 crore of annual revenues. This deal will also give RCom a valuable 800/850 MHz band spectrum, which will be a great addition to its existing spectrum holdings.

The acquisition is expected to be completed by November 2016, with RCom assuming the liability to pay the government installments for SSTL's spectrum, amounting to Rs 392 crore per annum for the next 10 years.

RCom announced the completion of the acquisition of MTS India network, marking the end of Indian telecom's CDMA story. The CDMA network of MTS is scheduled to be shut down by November 30th, 2017.

MTS CDMA customers will need to migrate to a 4G-only network. This change is a result of the acquisition, which has led to the closure of MTS India's online store.

Prior to the RCom merger, MTS India closed its online store on July 1st, 2016. This was a permanent shutdown, and customers were left with no option to buy new devices or take new connections online.

The lone CDMA survivor, Tata Docomo CDMA, has already been acquired by Airtel. This acquisition has paved the way for the 800MHz frequency to be vacated for LTE deployment.

As a result of the RCom acquisition, MTS CDMA customers will have to transition to a 4G network to continue their services. This change is a significant shift for Indian telecom, marking the end of the CDMA era.

RCom has received a nod from the Bombay High Court for the acquisition of Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd (SSTL), clearing the way for the deal to move forward.

This nod is a significant step towards the completion of the acquisition, which is expected to be closed by November 2016.

RCom will now approach the telecom department for the final approval for the acquisition, marking the next stage in the process.

The acquisition will see RCom take over SSTL's 9 million customers and approximately Rs 1,500 crore of annual revenues.

RCom will also assume the liability to pay the government installments for SSTL's spectrum, amounting to Rs 392 crore per annum for the next 10 years.

RCom's acquisition of SSTL's spectrum will extend the validity of its spectrum in 800/850 MHz band in 8 important circles by a period of 12 years from 2021 till 2033.
