www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Claiming it as the largest single day launch in telecom history, Uninor, Telenor’s Indian unit launched its GSM network covering nearly 600 million people. But at the same time, the company also expressed its
concerns over the lack of spectrum.

The company said that when they got the license, they were said to be given extra spectrum after reaching certain subscribers level.   Two third of Uninor is owned by Scandinavia’s Telenor while the rest is owned by India’s Unitech Group.

The company plans to cover 22 telecom circles in India in which eight circles will be covered in this month while five will be covered early next year.  Instead of offering per second billing, Uninor has offered 25 paise per minute tariff for local calls, and 49 paise for STD.
