Airtel says it’s improving network, seeks ‘full footprint’ in spectrum

Bharti Airtel is strengthening its telecom network as it prepares for the government’s auction of airwaves in March, said the company’s managing director and chief executive officer on Thursday.

“We would love to have a full footprint of sub gigahertz spectrum in the country…would look at capacity (expanding spectrum portfolio) and renewal (of licenses) in the upcoming auctions,” said Gopal Vittal, in the company’s post-earnings call.
