Qualcomm looking for partners for India broadband

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Qualcomm Inc, which won broadband spectrum in four of India's 22 zones, is looking for partnering with 3G or EVDO service provider in India, a senior company official said.

Kanwalinder Singh, president for Qualcomm's Indian and South Asian operations, said the company was looking for partners among the firms that won third-generation (3G) spectrum in a recently concluded auction.

“We did not look for winning every thing in the auction. We were looking for circles that can enable us to have maximum number of partners. These partners will be among those who have already won bid for 3G spectrum or are already running EV-DO service,” Singh added.

Qualcomm will be setting up a subsidiary in India to look after BWA business.
