NTT Docomo, a partner of Tata Teleservices, has asked the government to ensure a level playing field for all operators in terms of a transparent allocation policy.

According to Mutsuo Yamamoto, executive director and head, strategic investment and alliance, NTT DOCOMO, as an investor in India, the company looks forward to fairness in terms of policy issues. For instance, it said that TATA DOCOMO should be given start-up spectrum of 4.4 Mhz in Delhi and 39 other key districts on a priority basis.

Yamamoto said the government should allot airwaves to players like Tata Docomo (which does not have even start-up spectrum in certain circles) before giving out additional spectrum to some of the new players.
