After 3 year of marriage, Richard Branson's Virgin Group decided to break up with Tata Teleservices. Tata Telservices, which entered into a 50:50 JV for marketing mobile connections on a revenue-share basis with Virgin Group, has decided to buy out 50 percent stake held by Virgin Group [as per the reports by The Hindu Business Line]
The other agreement of TTL to alongwith with 50:50 JV was a branding arrangement that allowed TTL to use the Virgin brand in return for royalties. It is learned that TTL will continue to pay a royalty free for branding arrangement. So you can still use Tata Teleservices' Mobile Service under brand name of Virgin Mobile.
We feel that Tata Tele will gradually move its Virgin Mobile CDMA customers to Tata Indicom, the CDMA Mobile Service of Tata Teleservices and Tata DOCOMO, the GSM Mobile Service of Tata Teleservices.

At the time of launch, Virgin Mobile GSM services will be available in Gujarat through more than 7,500 RCV and 5,813 SUK outlets. Virgin Mobile has also come up with an offer of "Get Paid For Incoming" for new subscribers in Gujarat wherein a subscriber will get 10 paise/minute for receiving calls from any mobile in India. Virgin mobile also plans to launch the much successful "Per second billing" within few days for subscribers who talk less.
Mobigyaan will very soon update you with the various calling and SMS tariff Virgin GSM is offering in Gujarat circle.
We have seen Virgin GSM being aggressive during the launch but these offers are just to attract the customers. Virgin GSM doesn't have much to offer customers in longer run if we take a look at the trend in other circles. Let's hope this jinx is broken in Gujarat circle.
