AT&T in talk with Qualcomm for licence to 4G

Global telecom giant, AT&T is reportedly in talks with chip maker Qualcomm for a possible partnership in India. Qualcomm holds the licence and spectrum to offer fourth generation or 4G wireless broadband services in four telecom circles in India.
AT&T had exited Indian mobile telephony market in 2006, when it divested its stake in favor of its partners — the Tata group and the Aditya Birla Group — and failed in its attempt to gain an entry in 2008.
In the May 2010 auctions conducted by India’s Department of Telecommunications, Qualcomm won spectrum urban circles in New Delhi, Mumbai, Haryana and Kerala for around US$ 1 billion.
