Cut revenue share to 6%, CDMA firms tell govt

 "We have taken up the issue of reducing revenue share of licence fee to 6% very strongly with the ministries of communication and IT and finance," B Anand, the newly-elected president of AUSPI, said.

 The association also expressed concern over delays in getting inter-connection from BSNL, and said they were working closely with the telecom PSU to resolve the pending issues.

 Commenting on the recommendations of Trai on spectrum allocation for 3G mobile services, AUSPI vice president Ashok Sud said they were "extremely" balanced for both CDMA and GSM operators.

 "Trai's recommendations on spectrum are very balanced unlike last time as they were GSM-centric," Sud said.

 AUSPI has inducted a few members who are not mobile operators but technology developers. Qualcomm, Lucent Technologies, ZTE Telecom and Huawei Telecommunications have joined AUSPI as associate members.
