Sistema expands mobile broadband to 4 more towns in Haryana

NEW DELHI: Sistema Shyam Teleservices (SSTL) has launched its high-speed mobile broadband service MBlaze in four towns in Haryana as part of the expansion drive it has undertaken notwithstanding cancellation of its 21 licences.

With the roll-out of services in Hansi, Kaithal, Jind, and Bhiwani, MTS MBlaze now has footprint spanning 13 towns in the Haryana circle.

"This latest expansion is in sync with our endeavour to make MBlaze, our high speed mobile broadband service available to maximum number of customers in the shortest possible time," SSTL Chief Operating Officer (Delhi NCR and Haryana Circle) Shankar Bali said in a statement today.

MTS has tied up with Hewlett Packard (HP), wherein on purchase of an HP laptop, customers can get an MBlaze device for Rs 699. In addition, the customers can enjoy data usage of 3 GB at Rs 490 per month for lifetime.

SSTL, which operates under MTS brand, had last week announced expansion in eight towns, Khopoli, Lonavala, Baramati, Beed, Mahad, Ratnagiri, Satara and Karad, in the Maharashtra and Goa circles.

SSTL licences figure among the 122 2G licences cancelled by the Supreme Court in February. SSTL had, however, expressed its intention to stay in the country and bid for spectrum in the auction, to be held by the government, as directed by the apex court.

MTS in India has secured over 15 million wireless subscribers and under the MBlaze brand provides mobile broadband services to over 1.5 million customers in over 300 cities across the country, the statement said.

The company employs over 3,500 employees, operates through a universe of over 300,000 retailers and has made investments of over USD 3.1 billion, it added.
