Tata Teleservices (TTSL) has informed that the company has received CDMA spectrum in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Assam and North-East circles, making it a pan-India operator.

Tata Teleservices has received a start-up spectrum of 2.5 MHz for rolling out its network in the northeast. The company had applied for GSM spectrum in all 23 telecom circles.

For Tata Teleservices, this will enable the company to expand its presence in all the 22 Circles across the country making it a pan India operator. TTSL is likely to begin services in the new circles in the next six-nine months.

At present, Bharti Airtel, BSNL and Reliance are the only operators with a national footprint.

Shyam-Sistema, a joint venture between Shyam Telelink and Russia’s Sistema, has also received 2.5 Mhz in these three circles.
