Uninor aims half of customer using mobile internet in 3 years

Telecom operator Uninor today said it targets half of its total customer base using mobile internet by 2017 through its lowest priced services strategy.
"We have maintained our position in the market as 'Sabse Sasta' (lowest priced) player. In three years time market will be mature. It will not be difficult for us to achieve 50 per cent internet using customers from 20 per cent as of now," Telenor Group CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas said here.
Telenor Group owns major stake in Uninor and is in the process to completely buyout Indian partners stake in the company.
The new telecom operator offers mobile internet at about 60 per cent less cost than established and old telecom players in the country.

The company has earmarked investment of about Rs 600 crore in its network during the ongoing year.
Uninor had over 4 crore subscribers in six service area- Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, UP East and West. The company has bought spectrum for Assam but is yet to start operation there.
