NEW DELHI: A day before the expiry of telecom regulator TRAI' directive, leading GSM players Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Essar and BSNL are understood to have agreed to link with Reliance Communications' GSM network. Sources said while BSNL has decided to allow RCOM's GSM services on the existing points of interconnections, Bharti and Vodafone Essar have agreed to open up their mobile switching codes to the Anil Ambani Group Company. "We are in consultation with TRAI and a final decision will be taken tomorrow," a spokesperson of Bharti Airtel told when contacted. Earlier in the day, five other operators-- MTNL, Aircel, Tata Communications, Spice and Idea Cellular-- have agreed to open their networks to RCOM. This development comes a day before TRAI's deadline to operators to give interconnections to RCOM or face penalty. |
