The Government is ironing out differences among telecom service providers over the extent to which they can share rural infrastructure in the near future. To ensure the 250 million phone target is met without hurting players already in non-metros, infrastructure-sharing is likely to be allowed only outside municipal limits. DoT's technical advisors have also assured mobile players that they can share rural infrastructure regardless of their chosen platforms. Therefore, CDMA and GSM players can set up the same shared passive infrastructure for rural areas.
