Mobile call rates are going to take a further downhill route with the government going great guns to reduce the rates to a tenth. The DoT (Department of Telecom) is all set to implement a host of policies like enhancing competition, triggering price wars, engaging new operators, promoting infrastructure-sharing. India already has the lowest call rates. As of now, a local call typically costs Re 1. This is supposed to go down to 10 paise within next two years. While STDs will cost 25 paise a call. Of the new entrants in the GSM sector, Tatas and Reliance are going to be the most significant.
