  1. Spice Communications Limited Investor Presentation 03 Mar 2008

  2. Spice is poised to become a pan-India player

  3. Critical Success FactorsLicenses and Allocation of Spectrum • Company is an incumbent and strong player in the states of Punjab & Karnataka, with conspicuous market-share (~4 million subscribers) • Company had applied for 20 more licenses representing over 90% market opportunity in Aug ‘06 and is having 1st priority based on date of application in 12 circles and 2nd/ 3rd priority in balance circles • TDSAT (Telecom Tribunal) has already directed the Dept. of Telecommunications to keep priority of Spice Comm while allocating Spectrum on the same basis Spectrum available for allotment to 2 new players. Spice being one.

  4. Strong case for additional licenses

  5. Entry BarriersLicense / Spectrum • Without considering allocation for existing players (which is a dire need for most) and the need to allocate a minimum of 4.4 MHZ per new player per circle, it is apparent that there is a strong entry barrier for a new player to get allocation of spectrum. • At best, the aforesaid would imply there could be one or maybe 2 players who could get a Pan-India license. • Spice is the only existing player that has the opportunity to roll out on a Pan-India play – has the opportunity to address 90% market opportunity

  6. Recent developments reinforce our case The Economic Times, New Delhi, Feb 28, 2008 Recent judgments preserve our priority in Spectrum queue Further strengthen our case for additional Licenses
