The stage is set for a second tariff war in telecom, with 3G spectrum winners beginning to roll out services. Newly announced 3G tariffs revive memories of last year’s 2G price war which cheered telecom users, but bruised operators across the board. Attractive tariffs, which could make 3G popular even among the mass market, are likely to disappoint operators aiming to improve average revenue per user with high-end data users.
Tata Teleservices (TTSL), the first private company to launch 3G, has priced voice calls as low as 0.66 paise per second and data similar to that of most broadband plans. A per-minute call would cost 40 paise compared to 60 paise on 2G.
