Another crucial issue would be Russia's investment in telecom sector with Russian giant Sistema last week expressing unhappiness over telecom regulator TRAI's recommendations on spectrum auction, saying it created “ambiguity” and “policy uncertainty” that would adversely impact its investment plans.
Singh is expected to assure Russian leader on this front.
Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd, which offers mobile services under the MTS brand, has protested against TRAI recommendations that the spectrum used by CDMA operators should not be auctioned and a part of it be explored for use by GSM services.
