◆Call quality falls as telcos shut cell sites to cut costs
【NEW DELHI】Consumers are experiencing an increase in failed and dropped calls as telcos shut cell sites to cut costs and slash capital expenditure on upgrading networks while the government's stiff radiation norms impose restrictions on the network coverage of these companies.
 Analysts add that operators are spending most of their capex to beef up their 3G network, which is mainly used for premium data services, rather than on 2G, which is primarily used for voice.
 "India is a spectrum starved country with these strict (emission) norms coming in. So, one way to beat the odds is to invest more in the cell sites but companies have typically begun to invest lesser and lesser on their networks since the investments don't yield adequate returns," said Prashant Singhal of consultancy firm EY.
