Mumbai Metro’s telecom model illegal, anti-consumer: Telcos

The mobile infrastructure model adopted by the Mumbai Metro is illegal and anti-consumer, a lobby grouping of telcos said on Monday. The Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI), which represents Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea, has opposed the “illegal and anti-consumer model” adopted by Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) for provisioning telecom infrastructure on Metro Line 3 running in the Colaba-Bandra-Aarey corridor.
