沃达丰Idea高管:印度将在5G时代看到流动、灵活的劳动力
“新冠肺炎疫情催生了在家办公、随处办公的模式。同样，在5G时代，我认为我们将看到流动和灵活的劳动力队伍，更多不属于工作流的人将开始进入系统，在任何地方工作，”沃达丰Idea监管和企业事务高级副总裁Anjali Hans说。

选择股权转换解决了当前的问题，这些问题现在可以搁置几年。
然而，现在所有的目光都集中在筹资计划上，该计划将使公司度过危机。
周二，Vi决定将其延期频谱和调整后的总营收(AGR)支付的利息转换为政府股权。
然而，据分析人士称，大幅提高关税和立即筹集资金只能将沃达丰Idea从目前的危机中拯救出来。Vi面临的挑战远未结束，由于竞争对手的激烈竞争，该公司难以留住现有用户，也难以增加新用户依赖Jio而且Bharti Airtel．
虽然VI近期的生存问题已经得到解决，但公司的责任是成功完成融资，加快网络投资，阻止用户流失，这些都是伴随着他们公平的挑战。Vi需要更有意义的关税上调，才能在暂停期结束后更好地偿还债务。
除了Vodafone Idea，塔塔电信业务马哈拉施特拉邦有限公司(Maharashtra Ltd)及其未上市的姐妹实体塔塔电信服务公司(Tata Teleservices)是三家选择转型的公司。
去年9月，政府公布了一项电信救济计划行业．在允许将AGR和频谱支付费用推迟四年到政府的同时，它给了电信公司一个选项，以净现值将延迟产生的利息与公司的股份互换到政府。
Vi正在转向海外可转换债券选项，最早将筹集7.5亿美元(约5550亿卢比)至10亿美元(约740亿卢比)，以支付供应商费用，履行贷款偿还义务并为资本支出计划提供资金。该公司正考虑在2月初进军海外债券市场。
几个月来，Vi一直在与美国阿波罗全球(Apollo Global)等多家私募股权投资公司就股权和债务融资进行谈判，但迄今尚未达成交易。
该公司通过短期贷款从一批银行筹集了约500亿卢比，这些银行由印度国家银行牵头，包括IDFC银行、HDFC银行、IndusInd银行和印度联合银行。
该公司预计将在3月底前宣布一项融资协议。
在另一项重大进展中，印度顶级电信公司敦促行业监管机构将目前专用于5G的无线电波的起始价格下调高达95%，以获得必要的财务空间，用于投资这些资本密集型的下一代无线宽带网络。
穆克什·安巴尼领导的信实Jio呼吁“将中频段5G频谱(3.3-3.67 Ghz)的保留价格从之前的建议价格下调95%”，相当于每单位2.5亿卢比左右。
苏尼尔·米塔尔领导的巴蒂电信公司表示，“Trai的5G频谱价格应该是名义上的，不超过2018年建议价格的10%”，因为电信公司部署5G网络所需的投资通常是50亿卢比(不包括频谱成本)，才能在印度实现有意义的覆盖。

<\/figure>Will Vodafone Idea<\/a>\u2019s decision to give 35.8 % stake to the government be enough to bail out the company?Opting for equity conversion has addressed immediate concerns which can now be kept aside for a few years.
However, all eyes are now on the fundraising plan which will enable the company to tide over the crisis.
<\/div><\/div>The company has a gross debt of Rs 1.9 lakh crore on its books, including deferred spectrum and AGR payment obligations to the government and debt from banks and financial institutions. Its cash and cash equivalents had slumped to Rs 250 crore at September end from Rs 920 crore at June end.
On Tuesday, Vi decided to convert its interest on deferred spectrum and adjusted gross revenue (AGR) payments into government equity.
However, steep tariff hikes and an immediate fundraise can only rescue Vodafone Idea from the current crisis, according to analysts. Challenges for Vi are far from over as the company has struggled to retain its existing subscribers and add new ones owing to intense competition from rivals Reliance Jio<\/a> and Bharti Airtel<\/a>.
While VI\u2019s near-term existential concerns have been addressed, the onus is on the company to successfully complete its capital raise, accelerate network investments and stem subscriber losses, which come with their fair share of challenges. Vi requires far more meaningful tariff hikes to be in a better position for repayments once moratorium is over.
Apart from Vodafone Idea, Tata Teleservices<\/a> Maharashtra Ltd and its unlisted sister entity, Tata Teleservices, are the three companies which have opted for conversion.

<\/div><\/div>However, the government has no plans to convert private telcos into a PSU and there will be no management control. The government clarified telco which will give equity stakes in by converting the interest on past statutory dues won\u2019t be turned into public-sector undertakings (PSU) and that the companies would continue to be \u2018professionally run\u2019 private firms. It has also said that the government can sell these shares at an appropriate time and realise the amounts due.
Last September, the government unveiled a telecom relief package for the industry<\/a>. While allowing a deferral of AGR and spectrum payment dues to the government by four years, it gave an option to telcos to swap the interest arising on the deferral at the net present value to the government with a stake in the company.
Vi is veering around towards the overseas convertible bonds option to raise between $750 million (around Rs 5,550 crore) and $1 billion (around Rs 7,400 crore) at the earliest, to pay its vendor dues, meet loan repayment obligations and fund capex plans. The company is considering tapping the overseas bond markets in early February.
Vi has been in talks for several months with a slew of PE players such as US-based Apollo Global for equity and debt funding, but hasn't managed to seal a deal yet.
The company has raised an estimated Rs 5,000 crore via short-term loans from a clutch of lenders, led by State Bank of India and including IDFC Bank, HDFC Bank, IndusInd and Union Bank of India.

The company expects to announce a funding deal by March end.
In another major development, India\u2019s top telcos have pushed the sector regulator to slash the starting price of airwaves currently earmarked for 5G by up to 95% to get the necessary financial headroom for investing top dollars in these capital intensive, next-gen wireless broadband networks.
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio has called for a \u201c95% cut in the reserve price of mid-band 5G spectrum (read: 3.3-3.67 Ghz)\u201d from the previously recommended rate, which would amount to around Rs 25 crore per unit.
Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel said \u201cTrai\u2019s 5G spectrum prices should be nominal and not more than 10% of prices recommended in 2018,\u201d as a telco\u2019s required investment in 5G network deployments would, typically, be a whopping Rs 50,000 crore (excluding spectrum costs) to achieve meaningful coverage in India.\u201d

Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel said \u201cTrai\u2019s 5G spectrum prices should be nominal and not more than 10% of prices recommended in 2018,\u201d as a telco\u2019s required investment in 5G network deployments would, typically, be a whopping Rs 50,000 crore (excluding spectrum costs) to achieve meaningful coverage in India.\u201d

The company expects to announce a funding deal by March end.
In another major development, India\u2019s top telcos have pushed the sector regulator to slash the starting price of airwaves currently earmarked for 5G by up to 95% to get the necessary financial headroom for investing top dollars in these capital intensive, next-gen wireless broadband networks.
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio has called for a \u201c95% cut in the reserve price of mid-band 5G spectrum (read: 3.3-3.67 Ghz)\u201d from the previously recommended rate, which would amount to around Rs 25 crore per unit.
Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel said \u201cTrai\u2019s 5G spectrum prices should be nominal and not more than 10% of prices recommended in 2018,\u201d as a telco\u2019s required investment in 5G network deployments would, typically, be a whopping Rs 50,000 crore (excluding spectrum costs) to achieve meaningful coverage in India.\u201d
