Reliance crosses a milestone

New Delhi: Reliance has become the first telecom company to achieve the 15-million mark in subscriber base, within four months of Anil Ambani taking over.

The subscriber base includes CDMA and GSM. The CDMA subscriber base (Reliance Infocomm) is about 13.9 million, while that of GSM (Reliance Telecom Ltd) is 1.6 million.

"This gives us close to 25 per cent share of the total [mobile] subscriber base of about 68 million [both CDMA and GSM]," the company said.

Reliance is followed closely by Bharti, which has a customer base of 14.7 million. State-run BSNL comes third with a base of about 12.5 million. — PTI
