$\"\"$ NEW DELHI: Uninor<\/a> may have faced existential challenges in India but all those are behind and the telecom operator is looking to grow its presence in the country through sharing and trading of airwaves, said Jon Fredrik Baksaas<\/a>, outgoing CEO of the company’s Norwegian parent Telenor<\/a>.
\n
\n\"We entered India at a time the financial markets were in a meltdown and we were hit by the licence crisis. However, India is critical to Telenor’s global portfolio now and we are here to stay and grow,\" Baksaas told ET. Uninor was among the 22 operators that saw licences cancelled by the Supreme Court in 2012.
\n
\nBaksaas, who retires on August 16, will be succeeded by Telenor’s Asia head and a former India CEO Sigve Brekke. He said Uninor has performed well in the mid-tier market, is strong in its voice services and serves the mass-market consumers with basic voice and Internet services at the \"lowest\" tariffs in the market. Uninor operates in six circles, and is expected to start services in Assam shortly.
\n
\nBaksaas said they will continue to offer the best in \"low-cost voice model\", but it also needs to understand transition to wireless data. \"As an organisation, we need to grow and be ready to understand and sell data which will be completely different from what we have been doing till now,\" he said. However, voice will continue to be critical for the company for the next two years, he said.
\n
\n\"It is around 2017 when 4G \/ LTE ecosystem will be ready for the masses with handsets at sub $20 (about Rs 13,000) and relevant services like financial and health services, or citizen services on mobile devices,\" said Baksaas. Uninor currently services 46 million subscribers using 2G technology. It needs to make a decisive move on data growth in India, given that it doesn’t have 3G spectrum and 4G is still some way from large-scale adoption.
\n
\nBaksaas said Telenor has applied for a payment banking permit and is waiting to hear from the Reserve Bank of India. \"We have had a very strong interest in financial market services and are globally present in this,\" he said, explaining the keen interest in the payment banking permit.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":48260955,"title":"Anand Mahindra sees TechM's telecom business revival only in next fiscal","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/industry\/anand-mahindra-sees-techms-telecom-business-revival-only-in-next-fiscal\/48260955","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"industry"}],"related_content":[],"msid":48261000,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Uninor looking to grow in India, says exiting Telenor CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas","synopsis":"Uninor may have faced existential challenges in India but all those are behind and the telecom operator is looking to grow its presence in the country","titleseo":"industry\/uninor-looking-to-grow-in-india-says-exiting-telenor-ceo-jon-fredrik-baksaas","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_link":"\/author\/479231328\/anandita-singh-mankotia","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479231328.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479231328,"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_seo_name":"anandita-singh-mankotia","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2015-07-29 08:39:44","lastupd":"2015-07-29 08:41:20","breadcrumbTags":["industry","Telenor","Uninor","Jon Fredrik Baksaas"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"industry\/uninor-looking-to-grow-in-india-says-exiting-telenor-ceo-jon-fredrik-baksaas"}}" data-authors="[" anandita singh mankotia"]" data-category-name="Industry" data-category_id="18" data-date="2015-07-29" data-index="article_1">
