Vodafone’s Sarin is betting on Low Cost Handset[ Lower than Rs 1,500 ?] and still lower Telecom tariffs. In 2-3 years, India will contribute the laregst number of subscribers to Vodafone Plc. He said,
At this stage, all I can say is that (mobile handset) prices have room to go lower and we will take it there. We are here because we think we can do something for the Indian population. We are coming into India with network, low-cost handsets, services — information services and entertainment services. We will mix that all up and in six months’ time, you will get a feel that Vodafone has come to India.
Mr. Sarin had lot of praise for Essar Group folks who are really very difficult to deal with. On the other hand, Mr. Sarin doesn’t face any hurdles from Babus and Netas as his file will be directly cleared by the PMO.
