PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL Spice is poised to become a pan-India player 1

PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL 2 Critical Success Factors Licenses and Allocation of Spectrum Company is an incumbent and strong player in the states of Punjab & Karnataka, with conspicuous market- share (~4 million subscribers) Company had applied for 20 more licenses representing over 90% market opportunity in Aug ‘06 and is having 1 st priority based on date of application in 12 circles and 2 nd / 3 rd priority in balance circles TDSAT (Telecom Tribunal) has already directed the Dept. of Telecommunications to keep priority of Spice Comm while allocating Spectrum on the same basis Spectrum available for allotment to 2 new players. Spice being one.

PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL Strong case for additional licenses
5
PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL 4 Entry Barriers License / Spectrum Without considering allocation for existing players (which is a dire need for most) and the need to allocate a minimum of 4.4 MHZ per new player per circle, it is apparent that there is a strong entry barrier for a new player to get allocation of spectrum. At best, the aforesaid would imply there could be one or maybe 2 players who could get a Pan-India license. Spice is the only existing player that has the opportunity to roll out on a Pan-India play – has the opportunity to address 90% market opportunity
