Reliance Communications has made the payment of Rs.8,585.04 crore towards 3G spectrum fees to the Department of Telecommunications. RCOM was amongst the only three private telecom operators who won 3G spectrum in 13 circles, including the most lucrative Mumbai and Delhi circles.
RCOM won 3G spectrum in all circles where it has 900 MHz spectrum. The 13 circles where it has obtained 3G spectrum includes all high growth "C" circles for less than Rs.500 crore. This makes RCOM the only operator that has pan-India 3G capability in CDMA and among the top three with highest coverage in WCDMA
RCOM will have minimal 3G network capex investment due to its nationwide state-of-the-art 3G-ready GSM network. RCOM will strongly leverage its media, gaming, cinema and broadcasting capabilities to offer its customers a unique "true 3G experience".
