Tata Tel to offer DOCOMO technologies
30-06-2009
Tata Teleservices plans to use NTT DOCOMO technologies and services as part of its GSM offering. The Japanese company last
year bought 26 per cent of Tata Teleservices for $2.7 billion (Rs 13,120 crore).
Compression technology provided by NTT DOCOMO will help subscribers to download at speeds comparable to a 3G network. Tata Teleservices has kept a dedicated data channel (spectrum) for this.
Services like i-Mode for Internet mobile and wallet services to use the mobile phone as a credit card will be introduced. There will be customised value-added services on offer.
For instance, the subscriber can choose what kind of news, from which newspapers he wants on the ticker. Through timed SMS services, he can affix the time and date when he wants the message to reach its destination.
To begin with, Tata Teleservices will open 600 retail stores in the South which will, apart from other things, give customers the NTT DOCOMO technology experience.
