Telecom industry's revenues are expected to rise 14-15 per cent in the current financial year led by some uptick in average revenue per user, though the subscriber base may remain flat with rural growth offsetting SIM consolidation in urban locations, apex association COAI estimates.

The newly appointed Director General of Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI) S P Kochhar told PTI that any duopoly situation in the current three-player private telcos market can "never be a good thing" and asserted that sufficient competition among the operators is required for ensuring that subscribers get good services at better prices.

The COAI will continue
