Getting back to the Tata story, Tata Telecom has recently begun a massive expansion in several telecom 'circles'(Indian telecom lingo for 'markets'). However, they are a distant second to Reliance Infocomm when it comes to market share in the existing Indian mobile market. Also, they do not seem to be targetting the end-consumer, but have a business-centric approach. They also just launched a PTT like service using Kyocera mobile phones. Looks like they might have a business model like Nextel. So, I do not know if Motorola has scored a 'big' win with Tata's - certainly there was no mention of a value of the contract with Tata. This leads me to believe that it might have been small. However, any contract, small or big is a plus in this rapidly expanding market. Also, I would be curious to know the source of your information regarding RF engineers defecting from the Reliance camp to Motorola. Om,
