Telecom Malaysia Bhd, which has 49 per cent stake in Spice Communications, said that it would be open to the possibility of merging its Indian venture with Idea Cellular Ltd to get a larger share of the world's fastest-growing cellular phone market.
Idea Cellular and Spice Communications may be in talks with each other for a possible merger of their operations to create the country's fifth largest mobile entity. While Spice has operations in two circles, Idea Cellular has services in 11 circles.
Both companies are looking to expand their network to become a pan-India operator. Both the companies have applied for additional licences to expand their footprint to compete with the likes of Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communication and Vodafone.
