Reliance may have influenced the Indian Government again. The Government is now backtracking and calling for an urgent meeting with mobile operators to calm them down.

letter to this effect signed by DoT Secretary D S Mathur has been sent to Reliance Communications Chairman Anil Ambani, Vodafone Inc CEO Arun Sarin, Maxis Communications Chairman Anand Krishnan, Bharti group's Sunil Mittal, Idea Cellular's Kumar Mangalam Birla and Spice Telecom's B K Modi.

Recent changes in telecom policy has created a massive controversy. Many analysts are calling it a policy of preferential treatment for those who have questionable ‘access’ to the Government politicians and bureaucrats.

GSM players, which account for more than two-thirds of telecom services in India, have opposed the government's decision permitting dual-spectrum usage on the same licence. Under this policy, operators of the rival CDMA technology are now entitled to GSM spectrum without submitting a separate license.
