NEW DELHI: Vodafone Group CEO Vittorio Colao met telecom minister Manoj Sinha on Thursday, thanks him and the Government for introducing several progressive policies and practices over the last couple of years, including the first mega spectrum auction

“I met the Hon’ble Minister to thank him and the Government for introducing several progressive policies and practices over the last couple of years, including the first mega spectrum auction which will enable us to quickly roll out 4G services and offer the Vodafone SuperNet experience in more circles. During the meeting, we reaffirmed our commitment to India and to supporting the Government’s thrust on financial inclusion by expanding our M-pesa service," said Colao.
