Sunil Mittal vows to bring telecom industry together; talks to Voda’s Nick Read, will reach out to Ambani

NEW DELHI: After years of an intense price war, telecom czar Sunil Bharti Mittal on Thursday vowed to reach out to rivals, including billionaire Mukesh Ambani, to collaborate on issues such as infrastructure sharing, as he sought to build on the reforms package announced by the government to nurse the bleeding sector back to health.

Mittal said the telecom package offers Vodafone Idea a “lifetime opportunity” to reclaim lost ground and exhorted promoters of the telco to make the most of the “bold” and “gamechanging” reforms by stepping up their contributions, and investments to revive the beleaguered company.
