Cellular firms plan database on defaulters

 The reason: cellular companies are planning to introduce a central information system through which service providers, including code division multiple access (CDMA) operators, will share information about defaulters.

 Bharti Cellular, which provides its service under the Airtel brand, has initiated talks with Hutchison Essar (Hutch brand in Gujarat) for such a system. Efforts are on to bring all CDMA and GSM service providers together for this cause.
