印度最近的改革帮助沃达丰Idea扭亏为盈，增加投资:ATC首席执行官
美国塔公司(ATC)首席执行官汤姆·巴莱特(Tom Barlett)表示，印度政府最近宣布的电信行业“结构和流程改革”将帮助资金紧张的沃达丰Idea (Vi)扭转局面并增加投资。
加尔各答:美国塔公司（空中交通管制)首席执行官汤姆·巴列特表示，电信公司的“结构和流程改革”行业印度政府最近宣布将帮助资金短缺的公司沃达丰的想法(六)扭转局面，加大投资力度。
“我们希望它(即印度联邦政府所采取的措施)现在会奏效沃达丰(Vodafone)巴莱特最近在美国高盛(Goldman Sachs)的一次活动上表示:“(设想)他们的轮胎里有更多的空气，以便能够转身并继续——或增加他们在市场上的整体投资……如果是这样的话，我们将看到市场上新业务总额增长的真正良好结构。”
本月早些时候，政府宣布暂停四年调整后的总收入(AGR)和频谱支付，此举为Vi提供了显著的现金流缓解，因为电信公司可以在未来四年推迟累计支付近10万亿卢比(每年约2500亿卢比)。
亏损的Vi公司被1.91万亿卢比的净债务拖累，其中多达1.6万亿卢比将支付给政府。此外，由于无法充分投资扩大4G网络，该公司每个季度都在流失数百万客户。这也是因为Vi仍然未能完成其2500亿卢比的筹资目标。

沃达丰Idea去年一直试图筹集2500亿卢比，但到目前为止还没有成功。在政府宣布救助计划后，公司有望筹集到新的资金。
这位ATC首席执行官还强调，印度的电信运营商有“大量债务”，而且“大部分是政府”。
巴莱特预计，印度最大的两家电信公司Reliance Jio和Bharti Airtel将“继续在市场上大举投资”。“这是一个很大的市场……他们在市场上有新的频谱，(而且)我的感觉是，他们将在市场上有更多的新频谱，在如何使用它方面有更大的灵活性。”
巴特利特还表示，政府决定延长频谱许可证的有效期(从20年延长到30年)，这让电信运营商“更容易在每个频段内推出基础设施”。
他说，尽管ATC最初进入印度电信市场时见证了“超大的净增长”，但随着印度电信市场经历“整合”，并“经历了一些监管补丁问题”，该公司的增长最终被“压制”了。
尽管如此，巴特利特说，ATC仍然见证了“不错的”总增量，“只是因为印度电信运营商有多少人以及正在部署什么”。
据报道，巴特利特说:“我希望大量的流失将在很大程度上被我们抛在脑后，现在所有的客户，包括国有的BSNL，现在都将能够打开水龙头，开始重新投资市场。”
沃达丰首席执行官Ravinder Takkar:政府没有兴趣收购任何电信公司
“在宣布(电信改革)之前，我在政府的各个部门进行了很多很多的互动。在我所有的谈话中，非常清楚的是，政府没有兴趣拥有、收购或经营任何其他电信公司。”

<\/figure>Kolkata: American Tower Corp<\/a> (ATC<\/a>) CEO Tom Barlett has said the \u201cstructural and process reforms\u201d for the telecom industry<\/a> recently announced by the Indian government would help cash-strapped Vodafone Idea<\/a> (Vi) turn around and boost investments.
\u201cWe\u2019re hopeful that it (read: measures taken by India\u2019s Union government) will now give Vodafone<\/a> (Idea) some more air in their tires to be able to turn around and continue to \u2013 or increase the overall investment that they have in the marketplace\u2026and if that's the case, we would see a really good construct for gross new business increasing in the marketplace,\u201d Barlett said at a recent Goldman Sachs event in the US.
<\/div><\/div>The ATC chief executive is also \u201ccautiously optimistic\u201d about the telecom market in India, and believes the US-based telecom tower company will be \u201cable to get back up into those mid-single-digit types of growth rates in the not-too-distant future\u201d.
Earlier this month, the government announced a four-year moratorium on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) and spectrum payments, a move that offers Vi significant cash flow relief as the telco can defer cumulative payout of nearly Rs 1 lakh crore \u2013 around Rs 25,000 crore annually - over the next four years.
Loss-making Vi has been weighed down by Rs 1.91 lakh-crore of net debt, of which as much as Rs 1.6 lakh-crore is to be paid to the government. It has also been losing millions of customers every quarter due to its inability to invest adequately in expanding its 4G network. This is also since Vi has still not managed to close its targeted Rs 25,000 crore fundraise.
